Looking for tips on how to cook the perfect rib-eye. I have a couple very thick beautiful rib-eyes.

I'm cooking it on the grill today but also interested in how you would cook the perfect ribeye in your kitchen.

I use a Cast-Iron Grill-ribbed skillet on the stovetop, lightly oiled, and allowed to get nice and hot.
Sometimes I utilize a Montreal rub, but normally just pepper it well.
5 minutes on side one, four minutes on side two, lifting and rotating once on side two for nice grill marks.
Same procedure outdoors, but a minute longer on the timing, "cause it's a little farther from the heat.

+1 to the reverse sear, I have used it several times and enjoyed it. We also reverse sear thick pork chops. Although, Lucky's steak sure looks good.

Thanks all.

LT's does indeed look good.

Thanks guys. I have cooked them inside by searing them and then putting them in the oven @ 350 degrees until done. That works well. But today I think I'll try Buzz's method.

Thanks for the reminder about Buzz's reverse sear. I had forgotten about that one. Today is a good day to try the reverse searing method. Maybe even have some pics for later if I remember.

Steaks came out GREAT.

No, after buying the Weber like you have for the boat, I bought a bigger Weber for home use. Love it. :thumb:

I like reverse searing steaks. The only thing I might ad is to the night before take the steaks out of any wrapping, place on a rack in a pan so all sides are getting air, and let it "dry" out overnight prior to grilling.

I had never heard of 'drying them out' before, but that was mentioned in a few of the recipes I saw. Good tip phreak. :thumb: :tiphat:

More than one mentioned that also FooD. :tiphat:

But, what about salmonella ....if you like your steak medium rare wouldn't you have more of a chance of getting salmonella if you let it get up to room temp before cooking?

salmonella is going to be on the outside. searing/broiling, etc. will take care of it, if it's there.

to be picky picky, it's max four hours between 40 and 140 - although I think they've changed their minds about the 140 end....
