Cowboy Ribeye & Herbed New Potatoes

[eccj]

CookingMama's post with the Potatoes inspired the vegetal part of my meal! I found a store that discounts it's meat significantly on the expiration date. I bought this Ribeye apprx 2 weeks ago and let it age in the fridge.

Tonight I pulled it out, washed it, dried it off, and and lightly salted both sides. I let it sit for close to an hour.

To save some time, I put holes in the potatoes, and microwaved them for 4 min to speed up the cook time. I quartered the potatoes, seasoned them in salt, fresh ground pepper, fresh crushed garlic, & fresh ground Rosemary.

They were done in about 20mins.

I borrowed this technique from Meathead at amazingribs. I filled my chimney with a row of blue bag Kingsford, and alternating rows of mesquite lump.

I placed a small grate over the chimney and began searing my steak. I finished cooking in about 8 mins. The steak was cooked medium well. The next time I'll probably shoot for 5 to 6 minutes. (Med rare)

Here is a finished pic of my plate.


p.s. There were some more coals left so I threw on two center cut porkchops!

1buckie, it really does take some concentration! The temp is so hot that you that the fat (i.e. marbleing was melting and the steak started coming apart!) That's why you see a part where it naturally folded over as a result. I will be doing this again! I'll either snap a pic or get someone to take a picture for me.
