Ingredients

  • 4 lbs boneless rib-eye roast (this is what rib eye steaks are cut from)
  • 8 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method

  • Preheat your grill on HIGH/LIGHT with the cover down (you can also broil your steak, vary the instructions accordingly*).
  • Cut your huge piece of meat into THICK steaks - this is what makes a lot of the difference!
  • At least 1.25" - I do 1.5".
  • When you buy your roast you can measure it's width first to make sure you have enough as each roast is shaped differently.
  • If your butcher wants to cut it up for you, let him - as long as he know to cut them thick -- but I say, get your hands dirty!
  • Tim off the fat cap if you do not want it.
  • Liberally salt all four sides of the steak (including the skinny parts).
  • Put 1 Tablespoon of light brown sugar on one side of the steak and lay that side "face up".
  • Repeat with other steaks.
  • Oil grill grates with a towel soaked in oil to prevent sticking.
  • Once grill (or broiler) is hot, turn down grill heat to medium-high and place the sugared side of the steaks at a 45 across grates.
  • Top steak with 1 Table spoon brown sugar each and spread around.
  • Cook for 3min with lid down.
  • Rotate steak 90 so that the grate marks cross each other.
  • Cook for 3 min with lid down.
  • Check temperature: if over 100, but following cook time by half.
  • Flip steak and place it at the same 45 across grates as before.
  • Cook for 3min with cover down.
  • Rotate steak 90 so that the grate marks cross each other.
  • Cook for 3 min with lid down.
  • Check for temperature and take off grill when at desired temp:.
  • at 115 for med-rare.
  • 125 for med-rare>medium.
  • 135 for medium.
  • Don't cook it any more than that - of there's no point in cooking the steak.
  • Move to foil tent, place 1/2 Tablespoon of butter on top of each steak, cover and let rest for 10 min (yes, that's a long time -- but it give you time to clean up or prepare your veggies!
  • ).
  • Broiler:
  • > Place sugared side of steak face up towards broiler.
  • Cook for 6min.
  • > Flip steak and add 1 Table spoon of sugar.
  • Cook for 6min.
  • Keep in mind that your broiler will most likely cause the sugar to burn - which tastes great but will be VERY smokey!
  • Run fans and open doors to outside (close interior doors -- unless you want them to smell like steak).
