How do you like your steaks?
When the grill is HOT, I put the rib steak on about 2-3 minutes a side (rare for me). put on a plate and cover with foil for 5 minutes before serving.
most of the time I'll lay a piece of foil over the grill and cook up some tri taters or onion rings to enjoy with the meat.
First, start with a good steak, 1.5" thick USDA Choice Angus ribeyes. Sometimes I'll save my change and splurge for dry aged ribeyes. Before cooking, set them out to get up to room temp.
Stoke up your kettle, or favorite grill, and get that sucker hot, I mean 700+ degrees hot. When your grill is ready, toss the steaks on. Let them get nice and brown on one side, rotating them or moving them around if needed. Once they have great color on one side, flip them over and brown them on the other side. I don't go by time. I cook them on each side until they have that great sear for flavor.
Once they're seared good on both sides, take them off, season them how ever you like (just salt and black pepper for me) and let them rest, uncovered on a plate. DON'T cut them, they're not done yet.
Get the grill temp down to 350, then put the steaks back on and cook until they hit the temp you want, turning if needed, 135-140, med rare for me and the Mrs. Take them off and let rest for 5-10 minutes
Take your oven and pre-heat it to 500 degrees, take your choice of meat(1.5" ribeyes for me) and set 'em to the side. Pour olive oil in a plate. Take a mixture of fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt(it's a larger granule) and put it in another plate. Use a CAST IRON skillet for this. Take the skillet and let it get to 500 with the oven. Whe the temps. are reached take the steak and cover it in the oil then dip both sides in the salt/pepper mix. W/ a glove remove the pan and put it on an already heated(high heat) eye on the stove and stick the steak in it for 30 seconds, flip the steak and go 30 more seconds, then stick the pan w/steak in the oven and let it sit for 90 seconds, flip it 1 more time for another 90 seconds then remove it( wrap it in foil if your making more than one). Repeat the process as many times as you like. These times are for medium/ medium well(i like medium). This recipe is for TRUE pan seared steaks and as much as I love the grill(I grill all year long, regardless of the weather) these were near the top of my list for the best I've ever tasted. The only problem is that you'll want to open a window and turn on the exaust fan cause it'll smoke up the room.
For grillin- I like choice ribeyes and filets cooked medium w/ my seasonings and they have to marinate for at least a day. My secret- kingsford charcoal and hickory chips. The secret is a must if the grill gets lit.
I'm not against propane but I like the flavor of charcoal. I sold my nice new pro. grill a month after use and went back to my old bubble to get that missing flavor back into my steaks.
If you like heat try- Tony Cachere's seasoning from LA, and the new tabasco worchistire sauce.

Cut around the upper hind leg, and pull it out with one center slit.
Serve on plate immediately...
Seriously?
Get a whole sirloin, and slice it at least an inch thick.
This can be seared, but slow cooked after that.

My grandpa has three sayings: Take it off the cow and onto the plate. I want it still mooing. And: If I'm not picking out hairs, its too done.
That's a little too far from me, but I like mine plenty pink.
I always take it off the grill one stage before I want it. For instance, If I want medium, I take it off at medium rare, etc.
After its done cooking, I add a little Tiger Sauce on top and have at it.
tanned on the outside, with a side of fried onions peppers,mushrooms and garlic
will eat them how I get them as long as they are not charred.
4 neighbors and myself grill all year round. The postal service can't compete with us. We grill in all kinds of weather and don't take Holidays and Sundays off.
Pinch of salt, baked potato, caesar salad. A nice microbrew IPA for me and a chilled chablis for her..
Or there's always "steak night" at the hunt camp. Moose sirloins or tbones seasoned with molson and either grilled over the fire or fried in the big cast frying pan.
Add lots of your favorite beverage and then the stories begin...
i marinate my steaks in olive oil and montreal steak seasoning,'
put jack daniel soaked wood chips over the coals, about 11-14 minutes on each side, its a little slower cooking with it smoakin.
comes out medium well, great tasting
my venison over the camp fire recipe includes sauteying chicken mushrooms or hen of the woods, and teriyaki marinated venison.
