Looking for suggestions on how best to cook a big 32oz bone-in ribeye. I have a sous-vide, so that is one option. I've been wanting to try the cast iron skillet-on the egg method, using butter, garlic, etc. What say the eggheads? Thanks in advance.

    Nothing will cook that steak as precise as SV.

    that being said, my personal preference for ribeyes is reverse sear.  I like the additional fat rendering that takes place

    Another vote for reverse sear (but I don't have a SV rig).  You can use the CI for the reverse sear finish.  FWIW-

    I like to reverse sear ribeyes as well.

    I have a SV but prefer the WAY BETTER flavor you get from the slow cooking of a reverse seared steak.

    Thanks for all the feedback. Do most people use the oven for the first part of a reverse sear, or can you smoke it on the BGE using the plate setter?

    I would slow cook it raised direct on the BGE before the final sear.

    I run the BGE at around 250*F indirect until within around 5-8 *F of the finish temp.  Pull the platesetter and the crank the heat to sear it off.

    I would SV @125 for 2.5 hours and then caveman it 60 sec/side

    Can't go wrong on reverse sear though
