I'm learning much today...and I'm getting hungry. Chicken and waffles is on my mind for breakfast.

Have not read all the responses so sorry if this is a duplicate response.

1. two different cuts of meat require two different cooking methods. The Filet doesn't have much fat, where the ribeye has a lot of fat.

2. I crank my grill to about 600 and sear both sides before turning on side off and moving the steaks to that side to finish. This drops the temp of the grill to 350 or so. If the wind is coming from my right I turn off the left burner. If its coming from my left, I turn off the right burner. I basically let them finish without turning them that way. I end up with a nice sear on both sides, but my medium rare isn't perfectly centered, which I'm perfectly fine with.

3. Let the steak come to room temp before grilling it. I also season it while its sitting out.

4. You MUST let your steak rest after taking it off the grill. If you skip this step you end up releasing all the fluids the first time you cut into it. Letting it rest for 5 mins allows the juices to redistribute. Moving the steaks to a cooler side of the grill also helps with this, but I still make sure to let it rest.

-It doesn't matter how good the cut of meat is if you don't know how to cook it.

-I rarely order steak when dining out. Why, because I can usually make it better than the restaurant.

this.
The only time I have was when I went to Plaza III; they cooked that shit to perfection. Though, oddly, didn't have a rib-eye option. I went with the T-bone and it was amazing.

good place to go once every year or two to splurge. since my steak was $50 if I recall.

Pierponts was the other one that kicked ass.

Damn this thread!

I have several pounds of ribeye in a freezer at home. Completely useless right now.

I'm stuck at a ****ing TA with no good steak in sight.

Yeah, but prime rib is just a different way to eat ribeye.

You hit it on the head. Garlic mashed potatoes on the side...

I love prime rib, but it just doesn't come close to a charcoal/woodfired, grilled ribeye.

Ribeye is great... Prime rib is heaven on earth

Dayze 09-23-2013 08:42 AM

welp...I know what I'm having this weekend for dinner.
Steak; and I'll probably scour my recipe sites for some interesting non-traditional sides.
grab a Cabernet Sauvignon for dinner.

have some Pale ales to 'assist' me while I'm cooking.
