Hello everyone,
I am cooking three ribeyes tomorrow on the kettle. I have several tools at my disposal: slow and sear/vortex, hickory chunks, marinades. What's your favorite way to cook a ribeye?
Thanks, - Bob

Well? How did you cook them and how did they turn out?

They turned out pretty good. Another day, another lesson. I loaded the chimney, got them going; meanwhile, I went inside and took the steaks out and put them on a cookie sheet to get up a little towards room temperature. I kosher salted and peppered them. Threw on some Yukon Gold into a pot and brought them to a boil. I headed back outside. Now mind you, I have the cooking grate off because of the chimney. I grabbed to two charcoal baskets and dumped the charcoal in them. I had some snuffed out briquets from the night before, so I tossed those into the baskets, which were back to back, aligning them so that about 2/5 of the grill could be direct to sear and then back off to an indirect cook. I put the grate on and then I realized with the extra briquets, the top of the charcoal was maybe an inch from the grate, perhaps half an inch.
I tossed the steaks on direct, about 30 seconds, then rotated 45 degrees for nice crossmarks. Flipped them over and did the same. Since the steaks were only an inch thick, I cooked them about 4 minutes more on each side for a total of 10 minutes and brought them in. They were a perfect medium-rare and pared nicely with the yukon potato mash with butter/milk for creaminess, a little garlic and a dusting of paprika on top for color, as well as the french green beans.
My only complaint is that the supermarket that I go to, either Albertsons or Winn Co. in Arlington, TX, only seem to have steaks that are on the thin-side. I need to find a good butcher shop.
And yes, I forgot to take pictures.
