    Early morning ribeye cook

    Going through the freezer the other day, I came across a 7 year old choice ribeye steak. My food saver bag was still nice and tight, so I thawed it out and did an experimental cook this morning. I was going to have steak & eggs without the eggs. I covered both sides and edges heavy with kosher salt (you couldn't even see the meat), let that sit for 15 minutes and then rinsed it all off. Rubbed it all down with Worcestershire and seasoned with Oakridge BBQ's Spogos. I wanted to practice my 2 zone cooking on the BGE, (actually I guess you would call it 2 temperature cooking). Using the adjustable rig I set the bars in the lowest setting and placed my grill gates flat side up on top of the bars. I put the top grate on and got the temp at the top grate to 275+. cooked each side for about 15 minutes and then pulled at 115+. Then open the lid, took the top grate off and let grill grates get to 600, sprayed the grates with olive oil spay and also sprayed the steaks. Then re-seasoned the meat with Oakridge BBQ's Carne Crosta and put them back on for 90 seconds per side. They were a little salty because of the way I dry brined them, but all in all, Click image for larger version

      You might be right. Love catfish, with our Mississippi roots we've eaten plenty of it.

      Wow! I love the line "steak & eggs without the eggs". I on occasion will make a morning steak or eat ribs that I smoked overnight first thing in the morning. My wife thinks it's crazy, glad I'm not alone. Great advertisement for Foodsavers too.

          Wow. Seven years. I've known marriages that didn't last that long.

          I rotate my freezers' contents so we can eat the frozen stuff up within one year. I thought that was stretching it. You proved me wrong. Nice-looking steak.

            I tend to over buy, especially when I see great deals. I have all my upright freezer proteins on a spread sheet, so I always know what I have, but the problem is so much meat to cook and so little time :-)

            I tend to over-cook, so I've always got a half dozen packages of pulled beef, pulled pork, etc. in the freezer, wrgilb . The daughters take them off my hands pretty quickly, though, along with the bacon, whenever they visit.

            Even though the meat itself might be fine especially if vacuum packed, I think the fat can get a little "old" smelling after 2 or more years in the freezer. I don't mean a spoiled or rancid odor - just not super-fresh. I don't automatically throw out older frozen meat unless there's a good reason for me to think it's not sanitary and safe, but I might trim the fat a little closer than usual or use it in a dish or with a sauce that has bold flavors to offset any slight "less than fresh" aroma..

          Wow, very nice. That is a long time in the freezer, I probably have a few in there myself!
