Need help with tough ribeyes

If they were actually ribeyes, they came from really scrawny cows, or cows that ran around a lot. If you don't see the marbling, pick ones that have it.
 
Thank you all guys, I think I'm going to try the philly cheese steak and the rest I think will be grounded for hamburgers, adding some pork fat.
Ron, I knew already the article you suggested, because I read it before, when you posted it in the forum. Very very interesting.
Thank you!
 
Sorry your ribbies weren't good Gianni. I agree with the others though look for ones with good marbling and maybe get some that aren't as thick next time, maybe 1" thick. Very thick is great if it's great meat but if it is less than great it can work against you in my experience. Smoke on Paisan!
 
Steak is actually tough to do (pun intended), you have to pick something well marbled but actually trim off all visible chunks of fat hanging. If not the fat will burn, and taste like motor exhaust especially if you have unlit or partially lit coals.
