Had a hankering for steak, and found a couple of ribeyes that wouldn't break the bank.
Sprinkled both sides with some smoked kosher salt, and let them dry brine in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Next, I sprinkled a bit of sweet beef rub on both sides, then put them into the MAK for about an hour to soak up some smoke.
Then I turned the grill to HIGH, but was feeling hungry and impatient, so only waited for the grill to reach about 415° before I put the steaks onto the searing grate. Couple of minutes on each side, and we reached 140° IT!!
It was my first time using a searing grate to get more pronounced sear marks, and thought it was pretty darn good for first go for an impatient girl with a hungry belly. :)
It had some nice crispy bits of fat on the edges like I love, too!!
I think next time I'll dial back the smoke time to 30-45 minutes, and allow the grill to heat up a bit hotter before I throw them on to sear. Note to self-- eat a snack before desperation sets in! :)
