Perfect Rib Eye Steak, I have heard some people say that you can’t grill a nice steak on a wood pellet grill. Wrong, they just don’t know how. It is easy to get a full smoked flavor and the grill your steak to rare or however you like it. Patti did these the other night in a video just to show you how easy it is to do.

Patti’s favorite steak is rib steaks so, she said “she cooks, she picks”. Ken prefers sirloins. As always she did a great job. These guys had a nice smoky flavor and came off the grill between rare and medium rare. Perfect!!!

Directions: Perfect Rib Eye Steak

Season your steaks to taste. Place on the grill in the smoke mode for 30 minutes.

Then, pull them off. That is the trick; you pull the meat off the grill and turn it up to high.

When the grill reaches 400 – 425 degrees put the steaks back on the grill as you would normally cook them.

These guys were an inch thick so Patti gave them 5 minutes per side. She likes her meat rare.

Pellet grills cook like a convection oven so you do not have to turn anything.
We do because we like the grill marks…

Cooking Directions: Perfect Rib Eye Steak

Royall Wood Pellet Grill Open the lid and set the dial to “Smoke”, turn it on. After about five minutes you can shut the lid. Give it about 10 minutes to heat up. Patti has lined the drip pan with foil for me, it makes for easier clean up. Place your steaks directly onto the grill and just let it hang out in the smoke and get happy for 30 minutes or so.

This is referred to as “smoking”; the temperature is around 165-180 degrees. 30 minutes of smoking is not enough to have any cooking effect on your meat but it is enough to open the pores up so that the meat can pick up all the flavor of the smoke.

 

After 30 minutes, turn the digital control up to High, about 400-425 degrees and pull the meat off the grill. When the grill comes up to temperature put the meat back on for 5 minutes per side. (I use a kitchen timer)

When the meat reaches an internal temp around 130* pull it off, cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will be rare to medium rare. Keep in mind that the meat will continue cooking for another 10 degrees after you pull it off the grill. So for medium pull it at 140* and overdone 160*.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees, anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
