Prime Ribeye tonight any suggestions?

I usually wouldn't ask for advice on a steak but I also don't typically spend $15 on a ribeye. I was thinking salt pepper and sear direct over flame. 2-3 min per side and done. What do you say?

    Purdy piece of meat.  Cook to temp, depending on how you like your steak cooked.

    Incredible. Well worth the extra $5 lb for prime.
  • Looks great!  I always say, when it comes to a good piece of meat like that, the cook's only job is to get out of the way and not screw it up.  Looks like that was your philosophy, too!

    When your dining from the egg, the extra price of prime seems to be worth it to me. If you were to dine out for that same steak, it would cost you 3X that much or more! I say great work!

    What temp do u sear at for your steaks? I've done more indirect cooks than direct and am still getting the hang of it on the egg. I did some 2" thick filet steaks and got the outside perfect, but just medium to medium well inside (or burned it u ask me, shooting for medium rare).

    I've heard of/tried or verse searing, but that I feel is better for bigger pieces of beef rather than individual steaks.

    The reverse sear works well on a 2" thick steak, but the sweet spot to pull them (on the first step) can be a little tricky.  If you were happy with the outside, I would do the same thing you did, but pull them at a cooler temp.  Then do the sear step the same way.

    Had her up to 550. Been getting better sear on the ceramic grill works grate than I did on the standard grate.
