Prime Ribeyes in the Fire

in Beef
Cooked some prime ribeyes caveman style.  Never disappoints.  Egged gold potatoes and such.  Good ole steak and taters.  And great roundball.

The beef.



I trim the fatty tail off to decrease flare ups, just like with DA steaks.











Delicious.

    Great cook-caveman for the win.  Most eggcellent.  Sunday line-up will be quite the games, definitely best match-ups across the board.

    Haven't had the guts to try caveman style steaks yet, but when I do try for the first time I doubt it will be with prime ribeyes. Great looking cook.

    Thanks for posting this.  I was trying to figure out how to impress some VIP guests tomorrow when cooking at my in-laws' winter cabin on a Weber and for some reason it didn't cross my mind to do a caveman cook - until now.

    Between this and the help you provided in picking my brackets, my hatred for you is diminished about 1%.

    You're still a UK fan after all...

    Tomorrow is huge for sure Cap.  Our boys have a tough match up.  But I believe.

    Exactly what I was thinking Dave!  @bgebrent do you have to wait for the coals to turn red and then drop them on?  How do you gauge when to drop?  I'd be worried I couldn't get the ash off of them.

    Yes you want the coals red and a little space between steaks so the fire can breathe.  They collect no ash (using RW but probably doesn't matter).  Only have to knock off an occasional piece of lump.  No big deal.  Dome 500-600 works well.  Dome closed half the time during the cook.

    The key to success is a good hot, level/even bed of lump.  I run with the dome open for the duration.  Long tongs-toss 'em on-and  and run for around 2 minutes, (thickness dependent-1 1/2-2" work great), flip then go again; check for temp around 3-4 mins total.  If short flip again to hit the finish temp.  Lump won't stick and it is a show-stopper when guests are around and have not experienced it before.  Great crust.

    A caveman has been on my guy's night checklist. Have you ever reverse seared caveman Brent?  Most of my crew likes warm but rare. Wild game makes that a tough sell but may fair better with less fat on open flame.

    Caveman is perfect for warm but rare, tailor made even.  No reason you couldn't reverse sear with caveman method.  I'd try it once or twice before being comfortable.

    Small potatoes make the meat look big, I don't have the guts to cook a steak that way but you make it look really tempting.

    As long as you hit the finish-line temp the cow doesn't care how you get there.  Trust the force and the thermopen.  Give it a go-
