BBQ RIBEYE RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over high heat (250°C to 290°C). For best results, have an indirect cooking zone set up on one area of your cooking grill for Step 6.
• Lightly coat the steaks with olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper.
• Brush the cooking grills clean. Open the lid and place the steaks on the cooking grill over direct high heat. Using the back of your tongs, gently press down on the steaks to ensure good contact with the grill. Close the lid and cook for 90 seconds.
• Open the lid and rotate the steaks 90 degrees. Again, using the back of your tongs, gently press down on the steaks. Close the lid and cook for a further 90 seconds. Open the lid and turn the steaks over. Again, using the back of your tongs, gently press down on the steaks. Close the lid and cook for a further 90 seconds.
• Open the lid and rotate the steaks 90 degrees. Again, using the back of your tongs, gently press down on the steaks. Close the lid and cook for a further 90 seconds. The steaks are now seared.
• Move the steaks to an indirect area of the cooking grill to finish roasting through over indirect medium heat (190°C to 230°C), adjusting the temperature of your barbecue if needed. Roast the steaks over indirect medium heat for 10 minutes or until they are cooked to your liking. (If using a Weber Q barbecue, add a convection tray and trivet to the barbecue to create indirect heat)
• Once the steaks have cooked, remove from the barbecue and leave to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Lightly brush both sides of the steaks with oil and season evenly with the salt and pepper. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.
• Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (400º to 450ºF). If you're using a charcoal grill, keep a small part of the charcoal grate clear of briquettes as a safety zone of indirect heat.
• Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the steaks over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to your desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare (125º to 130ºF), turning once (if flare-ups occur, move the steaks over indirect heat until the flames subside and add a minute or so to grilling time). Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
