Camp Cooking 21 day dry aged Ribeye!

[civilsmoker]

So out camping in route to the Coast and stopped in Mt Vernon OR for the night and stopped by their local market…..they had some nice NY and Ribeyes so grabbed a Ribeye….not knowing they were choice plus 21 day aged…..

First the camp site, right on the John Day River! It’s usually greener but been a little dry so irrigation restrictions….

Starting with some thick cut shrooms and a thick slice of Vale OR fresh onion, both dressed with olive oil and Weber steak & chop.

The ribeye…..this is the trim from the shop…..notice how trim…..once I found it was dry aged…..the light went on about the trim!

Flip on the veg and sear on the Weber Q

The flip…..I got the WQ up to 450 for 10 mins so it would sizzle sizzle…..and it did!

The final flip…..man oh man I’m getting hungry!

The plate! Served with some garden maters from home and dressed with some balsamic reduction!!!

Oh man….kinds makes me wonder if this camping money shot!!!!

Amen. Spent most of a week in OBX including Labor Day weekend. Talk about going from 60 to zero in a second. Was heaven after working between 63 and 82 hours a week for the last 18 months.
