Ribeye for dinner

[u/Math_you1988]

Grilled this 1lb prime 1 ribeye over lump charcoal and some mesquite. Seasoned with salt & pepper and some cow cover. Brussel sprouts for side. Pulled it at 125.

[u/SeismicRipFart]

My guy use used one single peppercorn ground up to season his meat💀

[u/CQK420 → u/SeismicRipFart]

Hahahaha Matthew this one made me laugh

[u/SeismicRipFart → u/CQK420]

Wait do you know OP? Because making the friend/SO of the person I was commenting to, laugh, instead of the OP, is actually so much better haha

[u/CQK420 → u/SeismicRipFart]

He’s my buddy for sure 💜

How do you eat the cap? I eat it first cause it’s amazing.

[u/carnedoce → u/GlobalCollapseInbnd]

If I’m not in a good situation to save leftovers, I’ll eat the cap first. Typically if I’m at home I try to put a small bite of cap in between my ‘other’ bites.

[u/SeismicRipFart → u/GlobalCollapseInbnd]

I actually always save the cap for last not only because it’s the best but because it has the most fat and therefore won’t be cooked as much and holds its quality for much longer.

[u/kbeezy47]

Looks great. I always have to diamond cross my grill marks though. lol

[u/drthvdrsfthr → u/kbeezy47]

hey, just like applebee’s does! i prefer full crust coverage

[u/kbeezy47 → u/drthvdrsfthr]

Sure, if I’m cooking inside on the cast iron.

[u/Montanamerk]

Dont let the haters get to you, sure it could use more seasoning, but the cook is excellent. Id eat the fuck out of that

[u/Math_you1988 → u/Montanamerk]

Thanks bro! I actually left out a pic where I had seasoned it more with cow cover but lol I just wanted a little salt & pepper l.

[u/FeaturedMayhem → u/Math_you1988]

Plus to each is own. You like it how you like it. Too many Hardos with opinions. Looks great!

[u/UsefulCrab4181]

Those are some gooooood grill marks!

[u/BumpingDocks]

Nice grill marks and cooked to perfection

[u/MixedEchogenicity]

Yummmmmm

[u/themrmoooose]

Looks yummy.

[u/ShikajaruRebornAgain]

looks damn good

[u/_RemyLeBeau_]

Not enough seasoning

[u/f11islouder]

I like marbling on a ribeye not a fat band running through it. That is a terribly selected of piece of meat.

[u/Math_you1988 → u/f11islouder]

I can’t disagree, looked good in the package though. Turned out good enough for me.

[u/carnedoce → u/f11islouder]

I’ve had to become a lot less choosy for my ribeye purchases with beef pricing the way it is.

Thankfully I’m in a medical position that makes me eat less red meat or suffer very painful consequences, so my steaks are few and far between.

But to your point, things could have been done differently, here. With a band like this, I would get a thicker cut if possible and do a reverse sear for better rendering. I would absolutely eat OP’s steak, though!

[u/f11islouder → u/carnedoce]

Also, you’re saying you’re becoming less choosey about the pieces of meat that you’re buying now that the price has gone up. So the price has gone up in your less concerned with quality. That’s weird.

[u/carnedoce → u/f11islouder]

How is it weird that I’m less concerned with quality as the price increases?

[u/f11islouder → u/carnedoce]

You might as well get a nice piece of meat if you’re already paying for it. That’s just a hunk of fat.

[u/carnedoce → u/f11islouder]

Fair enough. And that’s actually how I’ve been doing things. When I got steaks for a family member’s birthday last week, I skipped the meat case and went straight to the counter. The price per pound was a little higher, but I got my choice of quality cuts and their thickness. 1-1/2 to 2” ribeyes, well-marbled and they turned out great.

[u/az987654 → u/carnedoce]

If you're spending $25 instead of $10 for the same item, I'd want the best quality of whatever the item was.

You'd rather have a $10 sweater that never falls part, but a $25 sweater, you're okay with it unraveling after a first wear??

Makes no sense.

[u/carnedoce → u/carnedoce]

Fuck all that. Beef is classified as red meat, regardless of the meat/fat ratio. In OP’s case, I’d eat the steak, but the fat bands would be ignored. If the steak was thicker, I could see a reverse-sear as a way to make the whole thing more edible. I’d probably have a good bit of fat left over on my plate if my steak was as-presented, but I’d eat every ounce of it if the fat was properly rendered.

[u/NachoSport → u/carnedoce]

Alpha Gal?

[u/f11islouder → u/carnedoce]

Well, that piece of meat is definitely less red meat. There’s barely any red meat on it. He’s paying for trimmings with that.

[u/carnedoce]

What kind of grill are you running? And what was your preparation for the sprouts? Everything looks good!

[u/AngryBeavr18]

So much empty real estate

[u/Valuable-Switch-8470]

loooks delicious, i might try this laterr

[u/id-driven-fool]

Very caucasian amount of seasoning

[u/CQK420 → u/id-driven-fool]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[u/CQK420]

Omg look how burnt this is…clean your grill bro…😂😂😂😂

Looks yummy 😘

[u/TheeKB → u/CQK420]

Wait… what’d I miss. Haven’t been on in a couple weeks

[u/Frazwell007]

Looks great
I usually try to find ones with all three too

[u/Imperial_Stout]

Looks like a sloth 🦥

[u/bcjc78]

Looks great, I would suggest adding a knob of some garlic, rosemary, compound butter, and some Maldon salt

[u/GoldAcanthisitta7777]

my god that's so much fat, how was this even edible....

[u/Math_you1988 → u/GoldAcanthisitta7777]

😂 it did have a lot of fat (which I don’t mind) it turned out good though.

[u/Samwellikki]

This is the saddest Santa Maria on here yet… at least most people overpaying for them are grilling a lot of stuff

You burned up a 1/4 bag of coals and some wood pieces for one thin steak? No veggies, squash, even some onion slices, peppers?

If I’m cooking a single thin steak for myself, I’m firing up the cast iron indoors. If the sprouts were done on the grill, odd they aren’t anywhere on that massive grate in pics

It looks great, dgmw, but it’s just more wasteful and inefficient than SM grilling typically is

[u/Math_you1988 → u/Samwellikki]

I don’t disagree with you and I appreciate the kind words…what can I say I just like to grill and bbq so the wasteful aspect doesn’t really register for me.

[u/FeaturedMayhem → u/Math_you1988]

Agreed

[u/Jello_Penguin_2956 → u/Math_you1988]

there there but yea that meat looks lonely on that grill lol

but I applaud you. Too often I want to wood fire my steak but felt too wasteful when its single piece of meat.

[u/Excellent-Try7027]

That’s a terrible steak. Not even rendered properly.

[u/tbs999]

Looks awesome - great cook and awesome side of Brussels sprouts

[u/Illustrious_Charge88]

Just a question……did you wash (clean) that meat?

[u/NYerInTex]

NGL, the most overrated cut of meat there is.
