I was craving steak!

tarheelmatt

Title explains it all really.  It has been well before Christmas since I had a steak, until now!  

Harris-Teeter had their Rancher ribeyes on sale so I snagged a big one (1.92lbs).  I like them big and my wife and I will split it.  I like to reverse sear them as well.  

Got home from the store and processed the steak.  Dried with towel, salted liberally, applied some Cosmic Cow, and to the fridge it went until room temp pull before cooking.  

Removed roughly 45min before going on the Egg.  Added more salt too.  

Egg was at 275° and I cooked the meat until 115° and pulled.  Added CI pan with canola oil.  Brought Egg to roughly 500°+ and added to CI pan.  Turn, flip, etc, and then a nice slab of Kerrygold to the top and sides to baste.  

Rest about 10 min then I sliced.  Fed three people off this (my brother stopped by).  

Had this with cheesy potatoes, saute collards, mushrooms, and onions.  


1 - Steak out of the rest




2 - Onion goes on the Egg as soon as it's lit.  Cut into wedges (not completely through) with fresh garlic and butter pressed into the slits.  Salt and pepper too.  





3 - Collards after a quick 5 min blanch.  



4 - Figured why not with the butter going at 275°.  



5 - 



6 - Thing of beauty!  



7 - Pulled and will rest for 10-15 min



8 - Mushrooms w/garlic, onion, salt, pepper, butter, white wine. 




9 - Sliced




10 - Collards saute with canola, butter, salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar




11 - Plating picture sucks.  I was hangry!  



Didn't get a picture of the cheesy potatoes.  They were pretty good too.  

Oh and the plates.... We were lazy and didn't feel like messing with many dishes.  I'll do better next time.  


Thanks for taking a look!

Decided on paper plates.  Get tired of all the dishes.  Had many plates leftover from the holidays and decided to use them.

Great job!  Well balanced.  Hopefully there was a great bottle of red to accompany.  Well done.

Your brother has good timing! 

Plates? Who cares, we are not eating them!

Thanks!  No red, just sweet tea. We're not drinkers.  Tried before, just have never gotten into it.

Haha... He did didn't he!  He did come bearing gifts though.  Him a more of my buddies made some fresh sausage today, so he brought me some of it.  Maybe some sausage gravy tomorrow morning!

Another outstanding meal and thread.  I've never tried collard greens.  I guess I need to look for them in the produce aisle and give them a try.

Man that looks good tarheelmatt.  You're making me hungry and it's almost 2 in the morning.  Not good.  I better find a different thread to read.

Thanks my friend! Collards are excellent when prepared correctly.  I pre cook mine to take some bitterness off.

Do yourself a favor and get you one!

Now that is a beautiful meal. Steak looks delicious and I believe the collards are a much overlooked side worthy of a steak.

Really really really awesome looking meal... As for the plates... I'm always a fan of throw away! Especially when it's my turn to do dishes! 

jonnymack

Whoa...awesome. Great food on a paper plate is still great food and THAT sir is great food.

Looks amazing! Why finish in cast iron as opposed to just on the grate with the egg stoked, @tarheelmatt ? Just curious as I've never tried it. I love reverse sear, but have always just finished on the grill. Less dishes and I'm lazy!

Awesome looking cook. Love the sides in the foil too, great idea!

Now I want steak, maybe tomorrow...

Very nice meal there Matt. Looking forward to meeting up this week.

The CI gives a much better crust, plus bathing a ribeye in butter is always a plus too!

I want another myself!  It was mighty tasty.

Yes, me too, Robin!

I am surprised you took the time to take the picture you did.  I wouldn't of slowed down with a plate like that in front of me.

no shame in paper plates, we use them more than we probably should.

Wonderful!! As far as the plates goes ..I don't eat plates

paqman
