I defrosted a couple of Creekstone Farms Prime grade ribeyes.
At 1" or less thick, they were thinner than I'd normally like to buy and thin enough that I decided to just cook them direct. Seasoned with the Rub Co's Santa Maria Style rub and a little Fleur De Sel. I couldn't decide between cooking them on the CI grid or the CI griddle so I decided to do one with each method on the Mini Egg and see which method my wife and I liked better.
Cooked a little over my target on both but still delicious. The taste test ended in a split decision with me preferring the griddle cooked steak and my wife the one cooked on the grid. The griddle cooked one had considerably more crust which I liked. I think my wife like the cross-hatched grid marks. I'd eat them cooked either way and be happy regardless. I may have to get some thicker steaks and redo the test but using a reverse sear instead.
Thanks for looking!
