Steak... it's what's for dinner (omm nom pics inside)

Second time firing up the new Kamado Joe grill. Had a craving for steak, so tonight we dine on ribeye. Cut these myself so probably around 1.5 inch - 2 inch thick. Reverse seared - cooked at 300 degrees for about 45 minutes (a few chunks of pecan wood mixed into the charcoal) and then seared on cast iron (on the grill) at around 600 degrees. A little compound butter to finish it all off.

Leaps and bounds more flavorful/delicious than the $60 ribeye I got at a fancy steakhouse last week while in Orlando. Pretty much done ordering steak when I go out to a restaurant. Now I shall sink into my food coma. Om nom nom.

My fav cut of beef.

Never heard of reverse seared before...reading your description...seared AFTER cooking instead of before?

And props for not ruining it with a gas grill

I kinda lucked out because both of my meat thermometers were not working today. Had to take a guess on internal temperature and got it right. Not super easy with thick steaks.

Now I kind of want some steak. And I had steaks the past two out of five nights. I rarely order steaks at restaurant. I can relax and cook great prime steaks at home. Same with BBQ ribs. I can smoke better BBQ ribs at home.

I like a medium steak, but when too raw like that its just chewy!

My wife likes overcooking hers to Medium, the Heathen.

At least she has learned not to eat/order them Welldone and has evolved over time

Raw? I barely caught it at medium rare. If you think that's raw I shudder at the thought of what you view as medium.
