Ribeye from Costco

[coss]

Made these beauties today. What surprised me is how quickly they got to 130-140 degrees, less than 2 hrs at 215-225 F in the smoker, then just seared on a gas grill for the marks and char.

Bought 3 at Costco for a total price of $55. Not bad. I was concerned by the amount of fat in each steak, but they came out great.

Dry brined with sea salt for 20 hrs.Probably will use less salt next time, it was close to perfect. 1 hr before smoking, added pepper also, which I should’ve added before with salt, oh well. Let sit for 15 mins after searing, covered in foil.
Some photos, after the brine and when done.

Looks good! Great color on them. Reminds me of a tbone steak I had a few years ago...24 ounces, was all I needed.

Nice sear. If you let them get up to 135º-140º and then seared them and let them rest 15 minutes in my opinion they'd be ruined. Those are ribeye steaks, not soup meat. RAY
