The video features a cook experimenting with a classic Latin American-style trash can barrel grill. The cook discusses the grill's flaws in design and aesthetics but appreciates its nostalgic value, reminiscent of traditional northern roast meats. The cook uses the grill to cook a thick cut of meat, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and a layer of mustard, and searing it over indirect heat. The cook improvises with the grill's limitations, using a thermometer to monitor temperature and creating a makeshift air inlet to improve ventilation. After 35 minutes, the cook sears the meat for a minute and a half per side, aiming for a crust formation. The cooked meat is then rested for 5-10 minutes before being sliced and served with grilled quesadillas, a sauce made from serrano, tomatillo, and cilantro, and avocado. The cook concludes by inviting viewers to share ideas for future experiments with the grill.
