Flare Ups: We grilled ribeye steaks, which have a fair amount of marbling. As the marbling renders while grilling the fat drips onto the direct embers, which will create flames. It’s unavoidable, but the best ways to minimize them is to minimize the active flame. You can use a spray bottle of water and spray when you see flames, or use long tongs to move the steak from direct to indirect to avoid it burning.
About Time: Always cook steak to internal temperature not time. This recipe has a rough estimate of how long the steaks will take to cook. Always use a high quality instant read thermometer to pull the steaks at your desired internal temperature.
