A little while ago, I mentioned that there was a good deal on Ribeye in Tesco.
Last night, I fancied snacking on the 2pdr lump I had picked up. I normally just griddle pan a steak, 3 minutes a side or so but this being 2-3 inches thick, I investigated other methods. I used the griddle pan again, but only to sear all the major faces for 30 seconds or so. I then placed SteakZilla at the bottom of the grill, under a high heat for about 20 minutes, turned it a couple of times and sploshed a little bourbon over it near the end.
I tried the finger test and it started to resist a bit so I guessed it was ready, a thin knife into the thickest part showed it to be not raw at the centre so I plated it with a little wholegrain mustard.
I was considerably impressed, the seared outside was a thin, flavoursome crust and the insides where incredibly moist and tender. For quite a large piece of meat, the cook was even and for a first time attempt, pretty much how I wanted it. The indirect grill heat gives it a heat and a rest allowing the juices to really come to the fore. I'd says it's a method to try, as the result was well worth a look. And yes, I did eat the lot.
