New UK BGE Owner

Hi all, 

I'm a new EGG owner from the UK, thought I would introduce myself. I've done a few cooks and very happy with it so far. 

I have a question, I'm planning on cooking for 4 next week, I have a beef rib steak and some ribs. My questions is. What's the best way to approach the slow cook for the ribs and quicker cook for the large steak? 

Thanks

    Hello @Coady and welcome!  I think you will find on this forum that lots of people will give you their opinion and there are lots of ways to do just about everything.  It is for sure the journey of the cook that brings me back to it again and again as well as the destination- I honestly don’t think any ‘fail’ on my egg was a very big disappointment.  Usually, I think of them as fails because they were somewhat less fabulous than a previous similar cook but still likely better than most things prepared off the egg.

    Having said that here is what I would do.  I would spend the bulk of the day on the low and slow- maybe even prepare the night before.  I will let others give you their low and slow rib preps- I mostly do beef ribs (brisket on a stick) and I use Worcester and a rub right before putting them on the egg but baby back pork ribs are a different story that need a lot more moisture.  Then I would plate the ribs and wrap the plate in foil, shiny side in.  Then I would reload the egg (you will need heat resistant gloves to do this) and TRex the steak.  I will paste the TRex directions link below.  One tweak I have for the TRex is the ‘rest’- I don’t sweat the timing of it other than to time it for my dinner.  I have done everything prior to the rest as much as an hour in advance and it still comes out great.  This way you can relax a bit more with your guests.  The ribs wont be hot Hot but will be delicious even so and your steak will be perfect temp.

    This is great - thanks booksw - I've never thought of cooking the steak that way but it makes sense.

    How thick is your steak? I do reverse sear on 1 1/2 inch steaks. Slow cook till 130 temp then crank the heat and sear. Takes about an hour start to finish.

    Welcome aboard @Coady -  I’m a former resident of Oxfordshire.  I hope you will love your egg as much as I loved my time in the UK.  I would try to help with the cook, but don’t know if you have pork or beef ribs.  Regardless, you will need to have an indirect setup.  Do you have a platesetter or equivalent to go indirect??

    That’s the spirit, dogmatic optimism and irony sit well here. 👍🏻
