The Proper way to cook a Rib Eye steak

[MarPar]

And the best tasting beef comes from a feedlot. I tried grass fed beef once, took one bite, fed the rest to my dog.
Fat is where it's at!!

grass-fed beef to me tastes way too gamey. If I wanted gamey, I would eat deer.

corn bred, corn fed baby.

Bought a new Gas BBQ this weekend....still in the box, some assembly required. Might need to break it's cherry with some fine steaks.
Linky to the one I bought....

After my Loyalty vouchers, couple of hundy from Mum for helping them out recently, sale of some **** from my garage, in-store price slash and a slight fark-up by the Clerk, cost me $165 all up.

quite the value, Rog. btw, do you guys have Weber Grills available down there in Kiwi Land?

tried grain feed beef back in the 80's when they tried to convert us to feed lots .
long story short ,we have 1000000's of acres of grass feeding 100000's of cattle . we eat and like natural grass fed beef
that and we even have differing opinions on the "perfect " steak
this is an American "ideal" steak
compared to an ideal Australian

Easiest to just send the feedlot beef down there if wanted it. I know what your saying. I'm on the other side if the coin. Have millions of acres of corn and not much space for much else. Confining the animals to minimal space reduces exercize, increases weight gain.
Different breeds of cattle require different techniques. Most cattle that we raised wouldn't do well in an arid environment.

different stroke for different folks, Phil! as long as we all can a enjoy a great steak, it's all good by me!!

yeah as long as the end product is what you wanted there's no real argument , leave that for the vegans and such

Yes we do have all sorts of Weber BBQ's....they are very nice, and price point wise very similar to conventional grill types. I specifically wanted a conventional so I could have rotisserie option and have a side burner - I think Weber has an option for the side burner, but none had a Rotisserie (at least in my price range) that I could find. And I wasn't exactly sold on the plastic trolley arrangement for the Weber.

What is the ideal point at which to measure the actual desired temperature of my meat?
Do I need full or partial penetration?
Will a surface reading with my Laser gun do the trick?
All these questions, and I still haven't assembled the BBQ yet - been busy trimming the bush all weekend.

just cook till black on both sides ,done ( no chance of undercooking that way )

So what you are saying is that Black Steaks matter too?

I was at a restaurant years ago they had a steak, I forget what it was called but it was something witty, and they took a lean cut of steak, then wrapped it in a layer of fat (they had huge sheets of fat), and they grilled the **** out of it, it was tasty, but I did have mild chest pains afterwards..

I suppose that's up to her

I still do things the Cro-Magnun way. A bed of coals in an old weber grill

so many ways to answer this LMAO...you need to penetrate halfway into the thickest part of the meat. surface reading will not work.

I hope you enjoyed working the bush, Rog
