Ok team.... You have always done me a solid in the past.... So here we go again... I love ribeyes.... Love them rare.... And want the fat to melt as much as possible... How do I do this?

The attached steak was taken directly out if the fridge and cook on each sode for 2 min at 650 -700 degrees....  this is how I want the steak to look.... But the fat was still solid and did not melt into the muscle.

Thank for the help!

    Bout 4 or 5 seconds from mooin'

    Maybe hot tub it, then sear?  Just a stab in the dark.

    That looks more like tartare than rare.  :)

    I think similar to Yolk. Reverse sear?  Slow heat at 200 dome , to an IT of 100f, remove while getting egg to 600, sear 1 minute per side?

    Get a thick ribeye (at least 1.5", 2" is better) and do a reverse sear. Cook indirect at 250* until 115* and then pull it and setup for direct cooking with a blazing hot fire. Put it back on and flip until color is right.

    This is exactly how I do it

    Hot tub for an hour at 110 degrees and then sear to desired color.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.
