Parsley Lady came home with a couple of bone-in ribeyes after work today so I did what any guy would do. I cooked them :-D

Salting steaks was mentioned in another thread a few days ago. I have been doing this with grocery store steaks ever since I read an article on the Steamy Kitchen blog in 2007. I normally let them sit with the salt on them for an hour, but I didn't have that much time tonight they salt for 45 minutes.

In the mean time I put my Grillgrates on the Memphis Pro pellet grill and got it heating up with BBQers Delight apple and cherry pellets. Once it got up to 550 degrees I rinsed the steaks and dried them thoroughly. I gave them a light coat of olive oil and a moderate coat of freshly cracked black pepper and put them on the Grillgrates for 2 minutes then rotated 90 degrees for 2 minutes more. Then I flipped them and they went 2 minutes rotated 90 and then 2 minutes more. I brought them inside and rested for 5 minutes under a tent of foil.

We ate them with smashed taters and a salad with butter lettuce, spinach, heirloom tomatoes, cukes and green bell peppers.

The steaks came out great with nice grill marks and a light smokey flavor.

I do the same thing to my steaks. I read that same article a while back. Those steaks looks great!

I love my grill grates. Got them with my Yoder. Even if I'm cooking on my gas grill I use the grill grates. They are great!
 
Looking tasty

Great post Ron! I love love love ribeyes. Yours look great & I'll be checking that article out. Do you think letting 'em sit in the salt for 15 minutes less made any appreciable difference?
 
Shame on you Ronelle!
Everyone knows you can not cook or grill decent BBQ on a pellet machine! 8)

But, that is why you are a BBQ God!!!

Well done my friend.

I rarely have an hour. Most times I salt is prob around 30-40 min. Still makes a big difference. Be sure to rinse and dry your steak! First time I did this I did not. Tasted like I was eating a salt lick.
