While reverse searing a steak is a favorite, this method of cooking the perfect Rib-eye is a must try. Not only will it deliver the most juicy, mouth watering flavor but its super easy to hit your target internal temperature every time!
How to Setup the Big Green Egg for the Perfect Rib-eye Steak?
Rib-eye is best cooked over direct heat. Fire up the Big Green Egg and get is dialed into about 300 degrees. If you are looking for some more flavor, throw a couple chunks of mesquite wood on top of the charcoal and then insert your grill grate. No plate setter or conv”egg”tor is necessary for this cook.
Rib-eye Steak Ingredients
For this perfectly cooked Rib-eye the following is recommended;
- Raising the Steaks by Dizzy Pig
- Mesquite
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
How to Prepare Rib-eye Steak?
To prepare the Rib-eye steak, start out by putting a thin layer of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on and rubbing it into the meat.
Next, put a liberal amount of the Raising the Steaks seasoning by Dizzy Pig.
Follow it up with a little bit of Mesquite seasoning by McCormick.
No the steaks can be thrown in the fridge for up to a hour or so. This will really let the meat start to absorb all the flavor from the added spices. That is all there is to preparing this perfect Rib-eye Steak!
How to Cook the Perfect Rib-eye Steak?
Once the BGE is running steady around 300 degrees and your Rib-eyes have rested in the fridge to let the meat absorb the seasoning, it is time to get them on the BGE. Start out by simply putting the steaks on the grate and closing the lid.
Once the steaks are on the grate remove the top vent and set aside. After about 2-3 minutes you’ll notice flames starting to sear the steak and the temperature rising fast in the BGE. You can flip them and close the lid.
After another two minutes it is time to check the temperature. Being Rib-eye’s, I like to pull mine at 130 degrees. Once they are plated you’ll find that they will have rose another 5 degrees “ish” which will bring you that perfectly cooked steak. Enjoy!
