bangster Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Wife's birthday, she spent last weekend in Vegas celebrating our daughters 21st birthday, and this weekend going to Napa Valley on a wine tasting spree. So had to release the inner carnivore tonight. These are two 1 3/4-2 inch ribeyes we had cut off a full bagged standing prime rib roast: It was "Choice" and not "Prime" so it didn't have as much marbled fat as an expensive one. It wasn't dry aged, nothing real fancy. I had never done 2 inch thick rib eyes before, usually just 1-1.5 inches. Used Mesquite pellets on my Traeger cranked up to 450. I left them on about 5 minutes too long, but after 5 minute rest usually nothing is pink or red inside still. I am guessing the bigger one was over 3 pounds. Some coffee and garlic rub.

akirby Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Try reverse sear. Let the meat come to room temp (or close). Cook indirect at 250 to about 10-15 degrees below your target temp. Remove meat and let it rest for 15 minutes while you increase the grill to 600-700 degrees. Put meat back on to sear on each side for 1-2 minutes. This makes it easier to control final temp and keeps the outside from overcooking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really cook but I will ask my wife to do this the next time she cooks steak. Lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
