Ribeyes with cherry smoke

Reverse seared ribeyes left over from the party we had last weekend. 250 over a cherry chunk to 120 and then seared on cast iron. I sprinkled a little Montreal on em and then a little compound butter. I was a little disappointed in mine as it really lacked flavor. Then I at a bite of my wife's steak and I could understand what she was raving about. My son was helping her with her steak and he loved it too. Anyway, it's a lot better than we usually eat on a Tuesday night.

    The only thing lacking is a steak on my plate. Looks damn good!

    Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I like the cherry as it keeps the smoke pretty subtle.

    Good looking chow my friend.

    Hmmm ... I'd of never thought Cherry would be good with steak.  When I want subtle the pecan comes out.  

    I started pulling from the roast at 120, but am now down to 105 to get the same look as your steak.  Same with vent openings ... I can never get the same results as others when duplicating their vent openings.

    I don't really get much (if any) carry-over cooking when I do the indirect part at 225-250. I put a little grapeseed oil on the skillet when it was 550-600 with the infrared therm. When I plated them, they were both still in the low 120's for temp. How high are you doing the indirect cook?

    Looks good!  We also had ribeyes yesterday.  You did a great job with the reverse sear!

    Steaks are cut 1.5" thick.  Indirect at 300*, pull the steaks and PSWoo assembly at 105* ... carry-over takes them to 110*.  Pull the SW cap and fully open the bottom vent ... takes about 4 minutes to reach 550*.  A spider and a 13" CI grate has been down in the flames since the beginning of the cook.  Drop the steak down on the CI for 45 seconds per flip ... flip three times (four total sears) to a new quadrant each time.  Steaks come out medium rare, but don't have the evenness across the thickness that your steaks showed.

    Will try your "low" temp roast next time ... see if that helps.
