OT, but on point- beautiful prime ribeye

JohnEggGio

Did this Sunday.  I was enjoying the football games, and it was cold and windy outside.  So, ok, I took the lazy way out.  2.3# prime bone-in ribeye bought through SRF.  Just a gorgeous piece of meat - as you would expect, generous marbling, and perfectly trimmed.  Thawed overnight and let it spend the afternoon drying out a bit in the fridge.  After a generous coating of kosher salt and fresh-cracked black pepper, she did the low and slow phase in a 225 oven.  Once she got 120-ish, it was out to the gasser for a hot and fast sear on a cast iron griddle - oh, after being painted with some bacon grease...

I didn't futz it up.  Served with mashed sweet potatoes (I roast before mashing - brings out sweetness and gives better flavor), and a nice Cali Cabernet.

I’ve been on a diet for 3 weeks. I physically salivated at that finished pic.

I have a physical in five weeks, and I am hoping to impress my doctor and my physical trainer. No great cooks in my life for a while. It is even hard to spend time on the forum. I see some of these delish looking dishes and my stomach growls. Hard to do this at work!

Very nicely done.  I'm on effing dry January, but that shot had me reaching for a nice Cabernet.
