Notes
If you don’t have Ooomami, try it, it’s amazing on steaks. Or check out a mushroom-based umami rub at your local market as a substitute.For a gas grill, follow the same instructions but simply preheat your gas grill for indirect heat by allowing the burners to run at medium-high for 5 minutes with the lid closed. Then, turn off 2 of 3 of the burners (or 3 or 4 depending on your grill). Cook as instructed above moving from direct to indirect heat to your desired internal temperature.
