Perfect Medium Rare Steak on the Green Egg?
Posted on 11/6/14 at 3:02 pm
Posted on 11/6/14 at 3:02 pm
I'm a newbie to the egg. Found a recipe that said to cook at 700 degrees 2 minutes on each side, then close all the vents and let cook 4 minutes longer.
It was NOT medium rare. More like medium well. They were 1 1/2 inch ribeyes.
How long for the perfect medium rare 1 1/2 ribeye?

If you let it get to room temperature first, probably just the two minutes per side would be good.

I have no specific Egg advice, but regardless of grill type, a good quick-read thermometer will help you find the best timing for everything you cook. I know when I crank my weber kettle up in the 650+ range that 2-3 minutes per side + rest is all you need for steak. I pull my steaks at 120-125 degrees. That usually puts me around 135 final.

First of all, always cook to temperature.
Second of all, reverse sear.

Your temp doesn't need to be that high (700).
As long as you have flames coming through the grill surface, you are ready to sear your steaks, and that temp starts in the low 500s.
2-3 minutes on each side and they are done. Close off your air vents. Pull your steaks off, cut into one to check for doneness. Put them back on the grill for a few minutes once you have adequately choked off your fire and get them more done if needed.

I really like the t-Rex method and get perfect medium rare with it:
Trex Method
The other main method is the reverse sear which also works well. Just google it and you will get an explanation.

I cook steaks on my egg between 600-700 degrees about 2-3 minutes a side. I don't close it down unless I'm cooking a thick tri-tip

Thanks for all the advice!

steaks that thick is would go about 1:00 - 1:15 each side.
i routinely cook ribeyes on my BGE. Not saying im an expert, but thats about what i do. It all depends on the thickness.

How do you get your temp so high? I don't think I have ever seen mine get this high.

A chimney, a bunch of charcoal, and the bottom vents wide open. You can get between 650-700 for a short time

You can get the egg up to 1000 or above if you stack your lump right. 750 is pretty easy as long as you don't have a lot of ash build up.
Read the Trex link I posted above.

Word. I skip the 'finish in oven' step every time. If I were reverse searing, I'd skip the first step anyway.
