Rib Steak? (Pics)

[Sterno]

Hi,

I've bought some rather large steaks, about 2,5 pounds, called Cote de Boeuf. I have no idea what they are called in English? Rib Roast? Rib Steak?

They look like this:




I lit some lump and added some local wine tree.




Sprinkled lots of sea salt and black pepper on both sides.




Grilled it 5-10 minutes on each side.




Moved it to indirect heat...




... for another 10 minutes to make it medium rare.





Looks ready to me!




Juicy! Tender! Lovely!




Served it with tomato-onion salad and a glass of strong red wine.




The other day I tried it also with a marinade.





Pretty darn lovely!




Cheers,
Sterno

Thanks, James! I just asked my local wine shop to recommend some nice red to go with a good steak. It's a French Sablet Côtes du Rhône-Villages Château du Trignon 2005, which went quite OK with the steak. Could have had a bit more kick, to be honest. It's 14%, so quite a strong wine anyway. Some wine site gives tasting notes as:

Strawberries with a touch of cream on the nose, very soft and easy in the mouth with spice behind. Pascal Roux makes these wines in a very traditional way; eight months in oak here gives fine, pure tannins.

Cheers.

Hello from Texas Sterno; those steaks look excellent. As for as what they are called in English; I would say from the photos they are bone in rib eye, most butchers refer to them as a club steak.

Nice pics Sterno, they look kind of like our ribeye steaks.
Seen some at the local groce just like those you cooked, and I do think they were called rib steaks. Buthcher tried to tell me they were exactly like ribeyes, but they are not.

Keep em coming. It looks like that Weber gets a lot of good use!

Thanks guys! I think those are my favorite steaks at the moment. Good fun to toss one or two of those on the grill and enjoy the sizzling and the fantastic smell!

Excellent, thanks a lot - that's exactly what I needed to know!

Aloha Sterno... Great job on the steaks. They are awesome looking and I bet you don't have any "leftovers" for us ...

I see you like to use sea salt. What is your source? I know sea salts have different "flavors" and color depending on where it is harvested. Gourmet shops, fancy kitchen shops and even supermarkets have sea salts but they are on the pricey side especially those from overseas.

Thanks for the pics and the info on the wood. Next fall I think I will take a drive to our wine region and see if I can get some grape vine prunings.

a hui hou,
