    Reverse-reverse-sear ribeye cap!

    I don’t know why. But it works as well as reverse sear.

    This is the SFR stuff that was on sale 50% off last winter. It’s a damn fine looking piece of meat.

    I got the Grill Grates up to about 600* and tossed that sucker on there, seared both sides for about 2 minutes each.

    I pulled the GrillGrates and rack, dropped in the diffuser, put the regular grate back on at the higher level, and choked both vents closed the lid; the egg stabilized at around 250*, and about 25 minutes later the steak read 130* at one end and 140* at the other.

    I would describe this as "luxurious". You get the flavor of a ribeye, and the texture of a filet. It’s an expensive way to get there, but everyone should try this once!

      Thanks for the description and photos. I have some rib caps in the freezer and have been trying to decide how best to,proceed with them. Now I think you have shown me the plan of action.

        Great write up. I have always thought of cooking a steak like this, I was always afraid that smoke would get a sooty taste and effect the overall flavor. I am going to give this a try on my next steak.

        I love the Ribeye cap, it is my favorite cut on the cow. You have described it perfectly, Luxurious.

        Great cook Mosca! Thanks for sharing. BTW, that table looks gorgeous!

          I have seen some online that have a granite or concrete insert. That is what I am going to go with when designing my grilling center. Mosca

          There's a stone place close to where I work, maybe I could pick up something there. I wouldn't want concrete, this table is too nice for that.

          Yeah for sure, something like granite would look gorgeous. Mosca

        Looks beautiful Mosca!! I got mine during that same 50% off deal. I just did mine last week and it was superb. I smoked at about 225 for just under a hour and then seared it on the open fire of oak wood. The wife and I were both more than just impressed!

        Funny thing the wife was browsing through one of the SRF catalogs the other day and asked me to show her the steak I made (the rib eye cap) in the catalog. So I showed her and she goes OMG you paid that much for that??
        I explained to her the pick six deal and I got it 50% off. Then she says even if it was full price it was worth it it was that good. Not something we can do all the time but it won't be the last time I get rib eye cap from SRF.

            I've known that to be called front sear. It's actually my preferred way, better control over the end temp. I do it with burgers too. Nice work!

              PaynTrain it's great! You sear until the sear looks exactly like you want, then you let the temp rise to your target slowly by finishing indirect (vs sear to your target regardless of how it looks). It works!

              Isn't that a variation on David Parrish 's method?
