Project Description
Rib Eye has to be one of the better steak cuts, it has a good marble and soft well flavoured meat, cooking it on the bone yields a crusty but tender steak. You may have never considered cooking it whole, but this method gives a great result and is easier than cooking steaks, it’s a great way to do beef for a dinner party. Ask your butcher for a Standing Rib Roast, and get them to tie the roast at between each bone with butcher’s string.
As always an accurate, quick reading meat thermometer is a great tool, a remote model, or one that you can read without opening the BBQ/Oven will make it easy.
