Everybody .
I'm Joey and today we're grilling rib eye steak .
This tasty cut can be found on menus of the best steakhouses across the US , but you can make it right at home .
Follow me today we're cooking this rib eye steak on the kettle grill .
This rib eye steak is also known as the Delmonico steak named for the 19th century New York City restaurant that made it famous .
It's also called the rib steak , the Cowboy steak and the Tomahawk steak .
This cut of beef comes from a larger cut known as the standing rib roast , which you might recognize as prime rib .
That's right .
The exact same thing .
Now , this is boneless , but this cut can be served either boneless or bone in and because the beef rib is so big , it makes for a really cool presentation when it's served with that full bone intact , that's called the Tomahawk steak .
And it looks absolutely incredible .
But at the end of the day , it's just a rib eye on a really long bone .
So we're gonna go ahead and season this just straight kosh your salt and go ahead and apply it liberally to both sides and black pepper really simple .
So now follow me as we throw this on the grill right now , we're ready to get cooking .
The very first thing you need to do is get the grill nice and hot .
This has been sizzling here for about 20 minutes .
The next thing I'm going to do is just get a little olive oil on these grates to make sure the steak does not stick , get a paper towel , a little bit of olive oil on it and just rub it right across .
But be careful if the flames are coming up , you don't want your towel to catch on fire .
Now it's time to throw on the steak .
I know I say it every video but make sure you let your steak rest for at least 20 to 30 minutes prior to cooking .
It's the smallest step that can make the biggest difference to ensure that you cook quality steaks every single time .
So we go ahead and get this on the grill and we're going to let it cook for about 90 seconds , maybe up to two minutes and we're going to rotate it at 45 degrees .
Try to get those nice grilled marks on it .
This is a fatty cut of beef .
So if you start to get some flare ups that will burn your steak .
So if that happens , just go ahead and throw the dome down with the grate totally open and that will prevent it from burning Ok , it's been down for two minutes .
So I'm just going to turn it at 45 degrees .
As you can see .
Now , we're starting to get some flare ups .
So I'm going to go ahead and throw this lid on for the next two minutes .
Ok .
The steak has been down for four minutes .
We're gonna go ahead and give it a flip .
We're still getting a lot of flare ups .
So I'm gonna go ahead and throw this lid back down .
Ok .
So now we're going to rotate for another 45 degrees .
As you can see , we're getting those flare ups .
So let's put the lid back down , try to cool down that fire a little bit .
This steak has been on for about seven minutes and I can tell by feeling it that it's time to come off .
Now , the fuel method does work if you're experienced at cooking steaks .
But remember you can never go wrong with an instant reed thermometer .
Also remember that thicker steaks are going to require more cooking time .
And a really thick steak may even require some level of indirect heat to get it cooked all the way through .
But let's take this inside and see how it turned out .
The steak has been resting for about five minutes .
So let's cut it open and see how it looks .
All right .
Look at that .
It's a perfect medium temperature if you ask any butcher what their favorite steak is .
Most will tell you it's a rib eye because the results are just tremendous .
And as you can see , it's incredibly easy to make yourself right at home .
