Cold Smoked my Ribeye Last Night - Grilled it Today

[Hopefull Romantic]

Ever since WTS made his cold smoked steaks and then grilled them, I have been meaning to do it. Now I know I have to.

I also agree with Caneyscud, pens, Hab and Ky on the vent issue.

to properly cook a steak take it out of the frig, lay it on a platter, and walk slowly through a hot kitchen, done!

Me too, me too ......
2 steaks sitting in the fridge defrosting now. They are going to get 40 mins in the DBS and then straight to the grill.
I have done this before and the results were amazing.
One time I will have to be patient enough to let them age over night in the fridge

Can't resist chiming in...  The sayings at our house are that a good steak might still have a pulse, and the vet should be able to save it.

Have done a biscuit or two of mesquite on mine, with just a very light sprinkle of ribrub on each side.  Ice in the pan, vent wide open, steaks on very top rack.  yum!

Cooked mine last night and was not disappointed !
How could I be.
3 pucks of mesquite and then a quick trip to the fire that was more like a glancing blow.
The slab of beef did make a mooooooo sound when the knife sliced into it.

About 15 years ago I was on a business trip that took me to DelFrescos in Dallas
I ordered a 28oz rib eye with a cold centre.  It was delivered with a butter knife and a fork.
Maybe the best steak I have ever eaten in my life.
Thank god for the gold card...  that was one expensive piece of meat but I still talk about it today.
It was affectionately referred to as the colon buster for many  years following but I would do it again in heart beat
