Pepper Encrusted Bone In Rib Eye

This recipe is a great example of how to get those nice grill marks on your steak that you see at fancy restaurants. Simply angle your steak at 45 degrees on the grill and allow to sear for half the amount of time that the steak will cook on each side. Turn 90 degrees and sear the rest of the way on the first side. Flip over and repeat these 2 steps. An 1 1/4” thick steak will take about 6 minutes a side to get that perfect medium-rare center. This technique for grill marks applies to all grilled meats depending on how well done you want it.

Ingredients

  • 1 bone in ribeye 1 1/4” thick

  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Rub the ribeye in olive oil. Coat each side with all 3 of the peppers. Let rest at room temp for 30 minutes.
  • Start the charcoal in the chimney starter until they turn gray. Pour in the grill and place on the grate. Place the steak at a 45 degree angle over the charcoal. Sear for 3 minutes.
  • On the same side, turn the steak 90 degrees. Sear for another 3 minutes.
  • Flip the steak over, having it turned at a 45 degree angle. Sear for 3 minutes.
  • Turn 90 degrees and sear for 3 more minutes.
  • Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Season with salt.

Cut the steak off the bone and slice on a bias. Pour the steak sauce over the steak and serve.
