himalayan salt block ribeyes
 
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.

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.

Good lookin' ribeyes!

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.

Those look absolutely amazing!:hungry:

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 03-17-2013 06:37 AM

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

dwfisk 03-17-2013 06:52 AM

Oh man I'm a seared tuna junkie!

boogiesnap 03-17-2013 07:49 AM

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).
