I have seen so many different ways to cook them that I am dizzy. Would love to conquer the perfect medium rare recipe. Please help.

I like the reverse sear. I cook my ribeyes raised direct at 400 for about 8 min a side. I then remove the steak and rank the egg to 600. I thrn put the steaks on a cast iron grid on a spider near the fire and sear them for 2-3 min a side. They come out great.

I either use dizzy pig cow lick or Penzies Chicago Steak seasoning

I have never gotten better results doing it a complicated way than I get going simple. I just do raised grid at 400. Usually for about 5 minutes a side. The pics are actually of a roast, that looked so much like a porterhouse that I had to try it. I did as described and it took 20 minutes to be one of the best steaks I've had. The only tricky part is to monitor the internal, without opening too much, so you can grab it at the doneness you want. Don't forget it keeps cooking after removed from the flame. I would recommend pulling at 130. The more of these you do, the more you will get a feeling for timing, so you will be opening the dome a minimum.

You could try the redneck sous vide method and sear it on the egg.

I go raised indirect at 350 with a little smoke to 110. Pull it, foil it. Egg up to 700. 45 seconds a side. BOOM medium rare. When you go to 700 watch for backdraft...

+1 on reverse sear. Details may vary, but basically lower temp (~300-400) until ~130 then pull and open the vents for the hottest fire possible. Drop the feature down and sear both sides until the crust looks nice.

As for seasoning I really like DO Raising the steaks or Golden Toad Steak seasoning.

Enjoy, and throw us some pics.

Here's my recipe for espresso cocoa rub ;

1 Tbs. finely ground espresso coffee beans
1 Tbs. pure ancho chile powder
1 tsp. natural cocoa powder
1 tsp. granulated garlic
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground fennel seed
1/8 tsp. ground allspice
4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless rib eye steaks 1 1/2" thick
Directions
rub 1 1/2 Tbs. of mixture all over each steak. Grill to desired doneness

Dizzy Pig also has one called Red Eye Express and it is quite good. The sauce is a whisky cream sauce. The pic is of a ribeye and a filet. 400 direct until IT is 125-130, raise temp. to 500 to 600 then sear on spider with CI grate down low for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes a side.

I reverse sear to get edge to edge medium rare. Makes an amazing steak. Doc's method works too, but I don't get edge to edge MR. I consider that an element of my "perfect steak".
