Rib-eye Burgers

As you may recall, my wife brought home these the other day:
@skiddymarker suggested I make rib-eye burgers and everything about that just sounded right. After all, I just bought myself a grinder for a stocking stuffer.
Seasoned the meat with onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. 1/2 teaspoon each
Yielded two 8oz patties and five 4oz patties
I tossed the formed patties into the freezer while I got both my eggs up to temp. 450 on the large with the baking steel and 225 on the small. Both elevated. Hickory wood on the small
The five 4oz patties are being cooked on the flat top while the two 8oz are starting off on the small.
I removed the big boys from the small when they hit 110 internal
I made a small mistake and overshot my temp cause I thought it would be a cool shot with the cheese fully melted on the flat top. Next time (there most definitely be a next time), I will put my cheese on immediately after I flip and pull when it's melted. This burger was still juicy and was the best tasting burger i've made...so no harm, no foul.
Sliders for the kids
The big boy...with some loaded fries the wifey made
As mentioned...juicy as hell! B-)

Daymn. Love the pic with the spots on both Eggs. My cook zone is functional, but totally lacks cool.

Do those lights require any modification to work on the Egg or is that just attached standard issue?Nice looking cook by the way.I raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

I had to flex the metal to get them to attach. Other than that...pretty straight forward.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Great looking burgers Cazzy, excellent cook. Told you rib makes a juicy full of flavour burger.Here on the west coast of Canuckistan, our rib roasts come "with the cap removed" I asked the butcher where does the cap go? He advised customers don't like all that fat, so they remove and make ground beef. The mix is about 80/20 so it is perfect, we have become spoiled!Last summer picked up some select rib eyes for <$3 a pound, no idea how they would be as steaks but they were excellent as burgers.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Yeah. Mine is pretty cool when it's organized...I did a lil reorganizing before my cook today. The lights help...makes it much easier when checking color at night.Doc_Eggerton said:Daymn. Love the pic with the spots on both Eggs. My cook zone is functional, but totally lacks cool.

I can't say I'd think of grinding ribeye but considering the story behind yours it looks like a fine use and some tasty looking burgers!XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

Home run!!! Beautiful burgers.What lens did you shoot that first burger pic with? The last pic with the eggs lit up in the dark may end up as my monitor's wallpaper#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I hope is was a prime lens and not the 14-24mm. If the latter, imma be real jelly and might have to break down on that plus an adapter for my Canon, instead of the 16-35mm.caliking said:Home run!!! Beautiful burgers.

All pics were taken with a Nikon 50mm 1.8g
Lol...have at it. HahaJust a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
Whew! I've got that one covered.

Lol...no it wasn't my 14-24. I love my 14-24 but it's definitely a special purpose lens.Eggcelsior said:

I think I'm going to buy a 60 or 105 micro lens this week. Decisions, decisions...
Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
Yep...that is definitely my go to lens and one of the best bang for your buck lenses out there. I wasn't feeling the cost to benefit of the 1.4 so opted for the 1.8.Eggcelsior said:Whew! I've got that one covered.

Dude, those look like money burgers. I love the baking sgeel as a flat top on the egg. May have to just make burgers for tge game this next weekend.
I reaaaaally want to try and do loaded hash browns on the steel. -
What are you shooting with it? Better lighting position with the longer lens. Won't scare the subject as easily, good portrait focal length.
-
I'm 99% certain I'm going with the 105mm. I do like the shorter focal length with the 60mm...especially if I take food photos at a fancy restaurant. The problem with the 60mm though is that you can definitely get in your light when you're trying to get really close shots.Eggcelsior said:What are you shooting with it?

Either lens will be primarily for food photography.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
Food photography?! What a Loser! You must frequently one of those dumb forums my wife complains about.
