I've seen Alton Brown do it and have it come out clean. Might have been skirt though. Was not a ribeye.

i cooked on the coals last time i did a ribeye


why?


How to cook a Ribeye:
1. Salt liberally 30 mins prior to cooking while it is coming to room temp.
2. ~10 mins prior to cooking- Pepper that bitch.
3. Heat a cast-iron skillet to scorching hot.
4. Place ribeye on skillet for ~2 1/2 mins a side for MR (depending on thickness, may have to use the oven)
5. Profit

Pretty much what I've been doing lately instead of the grill. I am always amazed at how much water comes out with the salt treatment.

Yep and closer to cooking the "water" starts to absorb back into the meat.

There's some kind of science happening and the salting helps break down the enzymes, I want to say, in the meat that makes it even more tender.

I oversalt mine(can't find the article now) and draw all that water out. I then dry it and remove as much salt as possible. Really helps.

I've heard of rinsing the salt off and then drying it before, but I tried it and couldn't really tell the difference between just leaving the salt on the steak. I might give the rinsing another try soon if you think it helps a lot.

I will say that the steak sears really well when I leave the salt on and that's a big part of how I like my steak. I like that crust.

With the amount of salt I use, it's really a must. The steak will be way too salty if I don't. Oh, and if you add a little garlic and pepper, or whatever seasoning you like during this process, some of it gets into the meat.

Don't know about all that, but I like the way the steaks turn out. YMMV.
