How To Cook A Rib Steak
 

Okay, so for my B-day, I have a beautiful two inch thick, bone in, two pound prime rib steak.

For the chef's on here - What's the best way to cook the beast?

I have done it before, damn good.

Iron skillet and kosher salt a must to pull it off.

Re: How To Cook A Rib Steak
 

I'd rub it down with some salt, pepper, garlic powder and grill that baby up. Pan Seared is good but you better have a good vent fan or your going to smoke up the entire house. I'd also take it out of the fridge an hour before you start to cook.

BTW: Happy Birthday

I know it's winter but would you have a charcoal grill available?If not pan shear it.1) get a good frying pan hot 2) make sure what ever seasoning you like is on the steak(I like some garlic salt)3) throw in a little butter and cook for around 6 min to 8min depending on your taste,then flip and do the same again.

Just like a milk steak, but less jelly beans.

Re: How To Cook A Rib Steak
 

i strongly advise against cooking that sucker indoors *unless you can do it almost exactly the way m-red suggested.

[QUOTE=mlmpetert;985883]Just like a milk steak, but less jelly beans.[/QUOTE]

Raw, of course.

It'd sure help to have SBF right now.

As someone who has no idea how to grill I hope you get that rib steak figured out though. Sounds like it'll be tasty. Gonna invite us over? :D

A 2 inch thick steak 6 to 8 min per side is going to be a little on rare side.

With all due respect... hells no that chunk of cow flesh is all mine.

Thanks guys. I think the pan sear is the way we are going to go. The question is how long on each side in the oven. It is bone in and a good two inches thick.

i'd guestimate
rare: 3min each side
medium: 4min each side

it will continue to cook a bit after removing from heat

That pan is going be really hot it will cook quick. Make sure you use Koscher salt it helps make the outer crust.

Re: How To Cook A Rib Steak
 

Pan searing, if done right, creates a brown or sometimes even blackened crust around the edge of the meat. A lot of people really like that but it's not for me.

For me, grill is the absolute only choice but there's a lot of good ways to kill the cow on this one, so to speak. Nyuk nyuk.

To each his own.

Re: How To Cook A Rib Steak
 

If your gonna grill it outdoors.....Over wood is the only way to go. Not to close to the flames. Cook it hot, but don't scorch the sides. If you leave it on to long, (like cooking a Fresh Ham, Pork Roast or Brisket) it will want to dry out.....mmmmmmmm!!

Re: How To Cook A Rib Steak
 

So how did that steak turn out last night and did you set off a smoke alarm?. My guess is you had to pan cook that thing for 15min or it was very rare.

Dinner is Friday (my actual B-Day). I will let you know then.

$700 for a grill? I do not doubt it's superior quality, but seriously? There is no way in this age of mass production that a grill should cost that much money. I can see them selling for half of that.

Here watch the video I have done it plenty of times. IT creates some smoke but just run the fan. The fire department is not coming.

It comes out really good. Make sure your steak is room temp before cooking it.

It is because the internal temp is too low. I usually take my steaks a 1.5 hours before cooking.

Don't need to flip in oven really. Sear that baddaboy on both sides hard and throw it into the hottest your oven can get. Should be done in a couple minutes.

[quote=los panda;986372]when i go wrong, this is where i go wrong[/quote]

I only let a thicker steak get to room temp. A thinner steak I want very cold so it does not cook to quick and I can get a better sear on the meat without over coooking it.

I personally like a steak broiled in the oven the most (this sounds just as good). But i only do it if i have to because of all the smoke that causes the house to smell like shit for a couple days. My kitchen isnt fully exhausted though, just an over-range microwave vent.

If you do it Alton's way most of the smoke is at the range. Once you get it in the oven you have gotten must if not all of the entail smoke out of the way.


But I hear you, it is why I don't ever really cook bacon I hate having that smell around forever.

Re: How To Cook A Rib Steak
 

I dont have a skillet, but it would be nice to try one day.

Ive have actually had really good secuss baking bacon. I put foil on a cookie sheet/pan and then lay the bacon right next to each other. No major smell and easy to clean up.

you need a iron skillet. Period.

Re: How To Cook A Rib Steak
 

When I fix a steak I usually go to my grill. It gives a better flavor, sear, all of that. So take it out of the fridge a while before starting. I usually have a very hot side of the grill to get a good sear. Then my middle grate has less fire but still the heat. Once I get both sides seared well move it to the middle grate until it's about medium or at least what the thumb test tells me. Enjoy it ! And an early Happy Birthday to you !

No shit. Nothing better then waking up to the aroma of bacon and coffee.

Did we ever get a report back from Joeredskin about how his steak went or maybe his body is in a cholesterol shock from him eating a 2 inch thick ribeye.

Dude he told you Friday he is cooking it.

As for the smell yes it is great but come 2 in the afternoon I don't like my house smelling like a IHOP.

Re: How To Cook A Rib Steak
 

^ Agree, baking it is the way to go. Easy cleanup, less lingering smell. Just easier overall.

Obviously the best way is doing it bed side with a George Foreman; just don't burn your foot.

I'm a grill guy when it comes to steaks. Any steaks...charcoal grill, dual zone. Sear both sides on direct side, finish off on indirect side.

Bacon - we always bake it. I have a [url=http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=14748334&RN=868&KSKU=112182&]few of these[/url] that I put on a cookie sheet. Put bacon on rack, put rack in cookie sheet, put sheet in 350-375 degree oven until done.

Yup, that's the way to do bacon. Well, the way my wife does it at least. I just reap the rewards of her work. :)

My wife does most of the cooking, but when it comes to breakfast, I'm the one in the kitchen. Not that she doesn't make good breakfast (she does), but I love making breakfast. My Dad was the same way growing up. Weekends, he'd man the kitchen for some awesome breakfasts. He always told the same story about being a short order cook in a diner near College Park, where the main cook was able to crack 3 eggs at a time with one hand onto the griddle without any shells in the eggs.
