Hi,
So I've only recently joined these forums, been toiling over a new BBQ and I've finally ordered a Weber Kettle (One Touch - not premium) and it's on it's way tomorrow!
So the wife and child are away for a few days, so I thought I'd treat myself to a steak. Went to the butchers at lunchtime and picked up a slice of 21-day matured Rib-Eye. I didn't go on weight, just asked for an inch or so thick.
How to cook I thought? Well, I've read (on these forums) about cookin' dirty! I decided I'd give it a try. Rather than mess around with a BBQ, I just got my trusty chimney starter and one of the wife's oven tins!
So, got home and put the steak on a plate. Added rock salt, pepper and then rubbed in some olive oil. I let it sit for about 30 minutes whilst I got the charcoal going.
I decided to do 4 minutes on either side, I ended up doing 4 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other in fear of over cooking it.
So 6 minutes later, I pulled it off and then wrapped it in foil for 10 minutes.
I pulled open the foil, cut it open....looked perfect, medium rare.
Now, I've eaten a fair few steaks in my time. I've had a 32oz Tomahawk from London steakhouse that cost me a bomb, I've eaten steaks in Florida and various steak houses in England...none of them compare to this steak. I'm not over exaggerating, it was the tastiest, juiciest steak I've ever eaten. It was a crime to finish it, I tried to make it last but it just melted in my mouth.

So thank you all for educating me in the art of, I don't think I'll eat steak any other way, it's just a waste!!!
