Ingredients
- 2 bone-in ribeyes
- Your favorite steak seasoning
- Fresh ground sea salt
- Hickory chips
Instructions
Set the EGG for indirect cooking (with convEGGtor) at 250°F/121°C with hickory chips.
Add the steaks to the cooking grid (Jonathan cooked his steaks on a MiniMax). Roast the steaks for approximately 20 minutes, turning once.
Remove the steaks to a platter, remove the convEGGtor and raise the temperature of the EGG to 650°F/343°C. Add the steaks back to the grid and sear on both sides until desired temperature is reached.
Makes 2 steaks
I have in general struggled with temperature control on my Egg. It would be interesting to know how much charcoal is loaded at the beginning and what steps are taken to move the cooking temperature from such a low temp to the searing temp and how long that typically takes.
Have started using a hair dryer after I get the coals going with my electric starter . I can get the heat up pretty quickly.
30 mins at 250 brought mine to 152deg internal. Before the sear….
Tried this last Sunday night. Everyone was very complementary of the steaks. Very unique flavor. BUT, in the future I’ll go 20 min at 250 deg. vs 30 min. The steaks were slightly overdone for my taste. But overall extremely good.
This approach is new to me and it looks very interesting. I’m trying it next. Thanks.
