himalayan salt block ribeyes

[deepsouth]

i have been wanting these for a long time, so i grabbed a couple when they came up on a recent woot deal. i did onions, ribeyes, and bok choy. everything turned out great. i only got the blocks to 500 degrees, so i finished the steaks over the coals. next time i'll probably use the lbge and get it up to 700-750.

we were pretty hungry, so the pictures stopped there, but it presented very nicely.

That looks great. How many times can you use the salt blocks? Good beer to!!

i'm not real sure, but i think quite a few times. they are very thick and heavy and you aren't supposed to use a whole lot of water to clean them.

I was wondering how you would clean them?

Very interesting. What are the main differences by cooking this way versus salting and cooking? I've heard a little about salt block cooking but I don't know very much.

I have never tried the salt blocks before, but I think I will now!

Very interesting technique! Did the steaks absorb the salt? I typically salt my steaks at least an hour before grilling to break down the proteins which tenderizes them.

I bought my dad one of these, he loved it. Used his so much I need to get him a new one. To clean you just rinse in off.

Very interesting & good lookin steaks. Seen them on the tube used at high end steak houses but seeing them on your Weber has me wondering if they could do double duty as a pizza stone?

 

[deepsouth]

I bet the could. My pal sears tuna at 750 degrees on his.

Oh man I'm a seared tuna junkie!

that looks like a success. i have one somewhere, never used it, might have to pull it out now!

on a scale of 1-5 how salty was the finished steak?(i like mine steakhouse salty, whcih would be a 6 on the 1-5 scale).

Most excellent!

It is unbelievable what a guy can learn on this site! Looks fantastic, thanks for sharing.

Does the salt block add flavour or would be the same to use a stone?
