Whole Choice Ribeye Loin
« Reply #-1 on: August 16, 2013, 07:55:32 PM »
My local Kroger had both the whole choice ribeye loin and also their choice angus chuck roasts on sale last week and I picked up a 17-1/2 pound whole ribeye loin and then had to take a raincheck on four of the chuck roasts as they were out of them.



The loin was a very nice piece of meat and just needed some trimming and then sliced up into steaks.



The first thing I did was to cut the tail off of the meat. This tail along with a couple more I have frozen will be ground up and mixed with the chuck roasts to make my white burger.





I sliced the steaks about 1-1/4 “ thick which should make for some fine eating.



I processed most of them for the freezer.



I saved one back and sprinkled on some garlic salt and then cracked on some fresh black pepper. I also quartered a couple of potatoes and placed them into a couple of foil pouches for my little cooker.



The Cobb Grill was handy so I filled it up with some lump charcoal and then loaded my potatoes into the moat beside the charcoal.





I cooked the first side for about 4 minutes and then the second side for about 3 minutes to get my steak to a medium rare finish and then took it off the grill.



Potatoes looked good coming off the cooker.



It made for a nice lunch.

Dave, Don't forget to bring mine to the Gathering ;).

What do you find to be the best way to thaw your steaks after they have been frozen?

Nice thickness; I cut mine to roughly the same because I like my steaks nearly raw on the inside (my mother raised me on steak tartare), and my wife likes her's medium rare with a fully developed deep rich brown crust - the inch and a half lets me cook to either for perfection.

Looks like a good piece of beef!

Fine lookin' steaks, OD  ;D

It is much easier to cook a thick steak to the desired degree of doneness than a thin one.  The ones I most frequently see at the store are of the see-thru variety  :o

Dee,

I usually thaw steaks in the fridge or if I am in a hurry, I thaw them in a pot of cold well water.
