Steakhouse at Home!
In a recent Facebook post I asked what “you” would want to see in a future newsletter. Jason answered. Cooking steaks with the bone adds a great beefy flavor. This is a 24oz bone-in ribeye steak. It was enough to feed my wife and I for dinner and we added the leftovers to our eggs in the morning. You will have to order a steak like this from the butcher ahead of time. I ordered mine from a website that supplies BBQ competition teams.
Prepare a 2-zone fire on the grill (Gas or Charcoal). One hot zone and one cool zone without coals or burners. It allows you to move the steak once seared or if you have any flare-ups. Season the steak with freshly cracked pepper and kosher salt. I seared the steak for 2 minutes and turned the steak 45 degrees and cooked another 2 minutes…this is how you get cool grill marks! Turn the steak over and repeat. Now move the steak to the cool zone of the grill (see pic) and cover the grill. Due to the width of the steak (2 inches thick) it will burn if you leave it over the hot coals or burner. The steak will continue to cook due to the heat in the grill. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the steak and how “done” you like your steak. The easiest way to track temperature is a thermometer. Once the steak reaches desired temperature, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. If you cut into the steak right away all the juice will run out and your steak will be dry. I cooked the steak to 135 degrees (medium-rare) knowing the temperature will come up another 5-10 degrees while it rests to 140-145 for medium. All of this might seem technical for cooking a steak. Once you do it a few times… it will be easy.
Cut the steak off the bone and then slice. The steak was served with mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus. Enjoy!
Pro-Tip: Grill a lemon cut side down and squeeze over the grilled asparagus. Try this with grilled fish, veggies, and even grilled chicken.
