The wife has been out of town this week visiting our son, and we didn't have time for a nice meal between when she landed and her work Friday night, so I decided to splurge a little for last nights dinner. I was at one of the bigger HEB's and saw these two Prime Ribeyes. Had to get some shrimp to go with it.
My steak. Love the marbling.
The wife's steak:
We each seasoned our own. The wife went through the cabinet and did her typical steak seasoning mix which is really good (SPOG and some Korean Mystery Spices). I used some samples I had of Oakridge Santa Maria Steak seasoning and some Oakridge Habanero Death Dust. I kinda thought I over seasoned mine, but in the end, it could have used a little more.
Peeled and de-veined the shrimp, sprinkled a little olive oil on them and then doused them with Slap Yo Mama Spicy seasoning.
Put the steaks on for a reverse sear and got the shrimp going. They cooked up a lot faster than I expected. Those GrillGrates I got for the gasser work great. These really had quite a kick to them and were delicious.
After I got the steaks up to about 100* IT, threw them on upside down GrillGrates over direct heat to finish them up. It gave a great sear to the outside.
My plate...
The wife's plate:
Cooked perfectly. This was the best steak I can remember ever having. So tender and juicy. Could have used a little more salt, maybe should have tried that Lava Salt some friends brought me from Hawaii. Didn't think of it at the time.
No, I will not be buying Prime steaks from now on. Choice is good enough for most of the time when we decide to have a steak. But maybe once or twice a year for a special occasion.
