Help - Thin Ribeyes

Posts: 1,254
So SWMBO bought two ribeyes for us this week, but they are very thin. It even says Thin Cut on the packaging. In her defense, I've always bought steaks and never told her that I buy 1"+ thick steaks.
Anyway, how would you do thin steaks on the egg? These are between 1/4" - 1/2" thick.

I have some thin ones in the freezer right now. Last time i tried they were well done... I seared both sides for 2 minutes each then closed all vents and put the ceramic cap on for another 2 minutes. I think a quick 90 sec sear per side would probably be enough, followed by a rest.They/Them

I blackened some thin cut rib eyes during the summer on my CI griddle. Just about 1/2 minute per side. They were great!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything.

At 1/4" thick i would think that 90 seconds each side would torch the meat. I'd go 30 seconds each side and check with your thermapen.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Hot tub them and sear high just enough to get some colour.

I agree with Little Steven, give the Egg a day off

Haha TOTN. I love this place. Thanks everyone for the great advice. I'm also doing veggies on the egg, so no day off for it.

When I have steaks that are on the thin side, I tie the circumference with cooking twine and pull the knot nice and tight.
