Seared And Smothered Rib Eye (Pics)

[tx smoker]

This was a bachelor dinner I did not too long ago. The folder has been sitting on my desktop and I just opened it up to take a peek. The meal came out better than I remembered so decided to post it. I don't believe I've done a thread on this one because I'll move the folders to a master folder after posting and this one has just been sitting there. All that aside, I wanted to do something a bit different and the cogs started turning. This is what I came up with.

A 12 oz. CPB rib eye with some of my beef rub on it

Cut up some fresh asparagus tips and red onions. Into a CI skillet with butter and minced garlic

Some tomatoes and cooked bacon that's been chopped up

Asparagus and onions on the grill

Cook down a little bit and add the tomatoes and bacon

Steak into another CI skillet with some butter

Sear one side and flip

Pile on a bunch of fresh shredded mozz. You can see it starting to crisp up on the bottom. I love that crispy cheese!

Now load up the veggies and bacon then under the "pizza dome" to heat and finish melting the cheese

Toast up a couple of rolls with butter and garlic

Steak done and off the grill

Time to eat!!

And the obligatory money shot

This was really good. All sorts of great flavors coming together, fresh veggies, bacon, melted cheese, and that nicely seasoned steak. This is one that will certainly get done again real soon and Tracy is gonna be here for the next one. Seemed unfair to eat like that when she wasn't here but oh well...it was her choice to go out with her friend

Thanks once again for dropping in and we'll see everybody again soon.

Mighty fine, Robert!
I like the idea of combining sauted vegetables with a steak instead of the same old same old.
Knowing you, I'm surprised there weren't mushrooms involved LOL!
Seems you've been having a few "bachelor" days lately. Hmm....

Damn fine meal Robert! Bet all of those flavors melded together was off the charts. I also love that crusty cheese. LIKE!

Great meal Robert! Everything looks delicious, and what a great idea. I am loving that Beef Rub you shared a few weeks ago. I've been using it regularly. Great work as usual.

Looks like a meal fit for a king instead of a bachelor! Excellent dinner my friend, I definitely could go for a smothered ribeye.

Well I do love mushrooms but Tracy....not so much. Being that they don't keep in the fridge very long I rarely have them on hand and I hate canned mushrooms. They would be a great addition though, that's for sure.

Wow! That is 5 star for sure! Looks amazing, I definitely want to try that. great work! thank you for sharing

Thank you for the kind words and you're more than welcome. As you well know, sharing ideas is what we do here. This one was fun, interesting, and really good so thought I'd share it.

Beautiful meal and presentation Robert. I know that had to be delicious. Added to my list for when it's just me and Emily. Nice work bud

Thanks Jake!! I had an idea just now. Try doing it on the pellet grill. That might add a really nice flavor. I just used the gasser but am liking the idea of the Rec Tec for the next one.

Thanks John, and yes sir, this one was a flavor bomb. Lots of cool stuff going on....and yes also to the crusted cheese. Love it when that happens.

Great meal Robert! Everything looks delicious, and what a great idea. I am loving that Beef Rub you shared a few weeks ago. I've been using it regularly

Thank you Mike and I'm thrilled that you're enjoying the beef rub. Several folks here in the forum have adopted it and seem to use it regularly.

Looks good .I take my Rib eye straight up with a side of rib eye

I'm with you Chop!! Issue is that I was raised that you had to have a protein, a starch, and a veggie on your plate. Add to that we both love veggies, I kinda like to incorporate them into meals.

Thank you Bear, for the kind words and the like. Insofar as the onions, we like them all sorts of different ways. I do understand your aversion to them a certain way though

Robert an other fine meal. Even if you did eat alone, i bet you were happy

Appreciate it David and yes, this one made me happy. Enough so that I'll treat Tracy to it one evening soon.

Thanks Joe!! You'd love this one, I can promise you that buddy. Go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks so much Jeff but the only thing this presentation had going for it was a lot of vibrancy with all the different colors.

Good Lord Robert! That’s out of bounds! Sorry for yelling, but dang that is just incredible sir. So we’ll done. Book marking this for sure. Thanks for sharing.

It's ok to scream like that. Far better than what I'm used to Thank you for the kind words and if you do make it, I can only hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Excellent work brother!

Thank you...my brother from another mother
