The Proper way to cook a Rib Eye steak

We went to Las Vegas last week for 5 days. More to eat than gamble lol. Had this Prime Rib at Ellis Island for $19.99 for 16oz. I was expecting a buffet type lower quality beef but was surprised how damn good it was.

I will be in the market for an old school wood cook stove some time in the future.
Nothing like cooking right on the stove. May even add a hearth to hang the cast iron dutch oven. Yes there was a reason summer kitchens were detached from the house. If you were not wealthy enough for two kitchens there was always the cold breezeway and the frozen wash pan.
 
In all my years I can honestly say I have never cooked a steak on a stove. Steak belongs on a grill, charcoal is best but gas will do the job if your in a hurry.
The only cow I do on a stove is burger, and any cow that I boil, such as corned beef!
 
Low and slow.
I do the opposite for steaks my wife and I prefer. I like ribeyes, but I usually get filet mignon and they are fairly thick cuts. We like steaks rare, but with a robust crunchy "crust" of 1/4"-1/3" or so.
Putting even the thick filets on a 800° surface flash sears the meat, and still cooks through enough without exceeding the "rare" or "rare+" level.
I had wanted a TEC Infrared grill for at least 10 years and I finally got one. They're propane or natural gas fired, but the cooking surface is stainless steel grills over a plate of dark red glass. The flame never touches the food. We also like dark meat chicken and turkey, which the fat content makes the most likely to catch fire, but never on a TEC grill by design.
Temperatures can go as high as 900° and as low 200° so Bar-B-Q low and slow for hours is possible, and I have a wood chip holder accessory for smoking as well. The pizza rack is something I've used about a dozen times, making homemade pizza can be great.
 
Was at Costco Friday 3 filet mignons a little over 2 lbs $89. I can afford it but passed. Bought 3 ribeyes nicely marbled $42 they very tender.
 
With the 50% + increases in inflation seen in grocery stores and such since the era of Brandon, I still
insist on one frivolous expenditure at the store each week:
Ribeye steaks for the wife and I, always cooked by me.
Not the biggest ones or the most expensive, but big enough to satisfy... and I've gotten so I only
serve them with freshly deep-fried Nathan's french fries or fresh-cut ones I've twice-fried.

At this stage of the journey, I allow myself this one extravagance.

If you have enough tasty sides, an average sized steak is more than ample.

I usually buy 2-3 vacuum packs of four rib-eye's at a time, 1" thick, and from my local friendly Butcher. I only wish that @MarPar lived a little closer to me. :poke:

I'd love to live in Kiwi land!!
 
I smoke mine first then open up the sear plate to finish them off.
