Just another little Ribeye

[Smoke Dawg]

So there is a month long Ribeye Master Throwdown going on. I love Ribeye and just had to join in.

Picked up a nice thick Boneless Ribeye 2-1/2” thick. This meat had to sit out awhile to reach room temp

I love cooking on the fire pit so started a fire early to enjoy the fire while building up a good bed of coals.

Made up one of my favorite rubs for a good steak – Porcini mushroom with smoked Habanero, Black Pepper, Salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Brown Sugar. There was a little crease in the steak so I scooped some fresh minced garlic with EVOO into the crease.

I text a friend asking what I should do with a nice fire and coals. His response was to drink another Bourbon………………………. So I put some more wood on, poured a Bourbon and grabbed a cigar

Fast forward. Added some cherry wood and got it going, spread the coals out and put down a grate into the coals with Cherry on all three sides. After a few – The steak went on!

It don’t take long at inferno temperature - Time to flip this cow over

Removed the grate and there is still plenty of coals to cook just about anything

After the rest. This looks and smells pretty good

Cut it open. I like a nice crust and rare in the middle – How’d I do?



Gotta have a slice



Yes, I think this will do for what I like



Of course we gotta have a fork shot!

I love cooking these on very hot coals and this Porcini mushroom rub adds a meaty flavored crust to an already good meat. One of my favorite steaks.
It did not suck!

[JbTech]

I'd like a plate of that, please!

I just dug the beginnings of a fire pit, so this is in my near future!

Awesome!

Wife made spaghetti...So...yeah.

 

[Shagdog]

Awesome Paul! That looks ridiculously good. Whoever your friend is, he sounds like a genius :thumb:

 

[J.W.Land]

Looks good! Ribeye is the only steak I cook and I like it very simple, salt, pepper, garlic powder then cook to medium rare. After cooking, while resting, I put butter and seasoned salt on it.

Oh yea, I like the fire so hot it almost melts the grate.

 

[aks801]

Wowzirs! That's just a big pile of awesome right there.

 

[Smoke Dawg]

Thanks for the compliments.

I just use my cell phone for pics - should get a camera but I'm lazy

JBTech, you will enjoy cooking on the fire pit and hanging out around the fire.

Yes Matt this friend is an incredible genius!

JW I also like cooking at inferno temps - Gives the best crust. I like the grill marks also so but the cast iron grate on the coals.
