Ribeye Last Night

My favorite rancher, Hannah, always amazes me with her products.  Oak Barn Beef for the win every time!  This steak from her was exceptional, 1.90 lbs...

Seasoned with SPG and on to roast at about 275...
Removed when temp hit 110 and cranked up the heat...
Gave the edges a good sear then grilled...
Sliced up and served with cheesy broccoli, it easily fed the two of us...

    Greetings and Salutations !!!
    As you can see, I am a newbie.
    I had my inaugural use of a medium green egg (wish I had a large but decided to experiment with a $250 used one to see if I like it).
    Anyway, I watched a Malcom Reed Youtube on how to cook a ribeye and he put the ribeye on direct heat at 500 deg.  I did that and the outside cooked REALLY fast but the middle of it was raw.  Anyone have a fail proof recipe on a ribeye for a Pollock from NY ???

    I cook my ribeyes to internal temperature.  I like about 125-135°F.  I use a thermapen to check the temperature quickly.

    If you are cooking at 500°F dome, right down near the coals, you will likely get your crust "done" before the center is at your desired done-ness.

    Here are some things I would suggest.  Try one of these at a time.

    1.  Move your grid further away from your coals.  You can place pop or beer cans on top of your fire ring, and this will raise your grid up.  On a medium, they may be too tall and you might have to "smash" them down a little bit.  But, you can use anything to raise them up.  Aluminum foil balls, Fire bricks, terra cotta pots, anything that won't burn or melt.  

    2.  Put an indirect piece in your grill, and cook your steak to about 100°F degrees internal.  Then remove the indirect piece (plate setter or stone) and sear the steak at high heat until the center gets to your desired done-ness.  This is called reverse sear.  You can google that.

    3.  Cook thinner steaks the same way you cooked the last one.

    Keep experimenting!

    @dbCooper - I have been asleep at the switch.  How did I miss the above cook??  Nailed it as always and a beautiful rib eye right there.

    @nymickey - welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Above all, have fun.  
    As you are aware, the key to a great outcome is the finish temperature for hot and fast cooks. Thus a good instant read thermo as things change quickly so the instant read is key to nailing the cook. 
    For low and slow cooks the feel is the determinant for declaring victory so speed of the read is not a necessary factor.  The temperature is a guide to indicate when the feel comes into play.  FWIW-
