Looking for a simple recipe/technique to cook ribeyes. Direct or cast iron griddle? Temp? Duration?

    For simple it's hard to beat just going direct over a hot fire 550/600, if they are thick steaks let's say 1 1/2 or thicker I like to do a reverse sear roasting indirect at 250 until 110/115 IT then pulling the plate setter and and getting your CI smoking to 550/600 and searing for 90/120 seconds a side and pulling at 128/130 and resting for 5/8 minutes until medium rare

    Marinate in Soy Sauce or about an hour. Turn over at 30 minutes.

    Grill direct at 500-550. Four minutes a side or so for a thicker cut.

    I stick with 230 indirect till 115 internal. Sear on a blazing hot cast iron pan in butter/evoo for 90 seconds a side.

    If 1" I would go hot and fast, but let it warm up beforehand.

    This is exactly how I would do it:
    I would pull them out of the fridge, let them sit on a cookie cooling rack for about 1 hour, dry them, salt and pepper them, then go hot, low (close to the red hot coals) and direct.
    If I did not have an hour, I would put in a zip lock, and put in warm (90-100 F) water for about 15-20 mins - then dry them, salt and pepper, then low to the red hot coals.

    Salt and pepper. Then reverse sear. Comes out perfect every time.
