CI Prime Ribeye

EggDan

Happy Father's Day everyone!

I decided to spoil myself for dinner tonight and went with Prime Ribeyes from Costco. 

Prep: canola oil on each side, coarse kosher salt, coarse pepper, and just a pinch of truffle salt. 

Cook: during the last two minutes I basted the steak with a butter, thyme, and garlic mixture. To finish I poured the mixture on top of the steak. 

The steak tasted amazing. Nice sear, and I loved the hint of thyme.  A definite repeat.  One of the best steaks that I have ever made!

Looks good ! was the entire cook on the CI or just the finish?

EggDan

@Ivanhoe entire cook!  It ended up tasting very good.  I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of Costco's prime grade ribeye.

Thanks EggDan! I finished off some burgers on the CI Friday night. First time trying that - borrowed  a recipe from here of course. I've had some costco ribeyes before and they were good.

EggDan

@Ivanhoe do you have the recipe that you used?  I have struggled from time to time with burgers so I am looking for a new method. Thanks!

Costco prime never disappoints.  Nice crust on the ribeye.

per SmokyBear's recipe from another thread:

I've been doing 4 oz burgers from ground sirloin via raised grid on my Mini in a "reverse sear"..

350'ish for 4 - 4 1/2 min per side.  Remove at ~140.  Let rest a couple of minutes while you get a CI griddle smoking hot.  (I do mine inside on the gas cooktop as the burgers have already gotten plenty smoky on the BGE by this point).  Cook on CI for about 45 sec - 1 min per side to get Malliard reaction browning.  Remove.  Rest for a couple and serve.

These are the BEST burgers I've ever had, bar none.  They were just a "barely" bit pink inside (we like medium plus generally) but soft and melt in your mouth goodness.

I think the key is reverse sear to 140 or so, 1 min or so "nuclear" hot on a CI grill..

YMMV.

Good luck!
