Grilled RibEye sTeaks & Snow Crab

Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel, sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and allow to sit on prepared rack for 1 hour before cooking.

Meanwhile, heat your grill. For this recipe, I strongly recommend using charcoal. If you are intimidated by a charcoal grill, go invest in a $10 chimney starter, it makes lighting charcoal so much easier and quicker and will isntantly boost your charcoal self esteem. Build a even layer over half of the grill with fresh charcoal and top with heated coals. Place a clean cooking grate on top, cover and let sit for 5 minutes.

If using gas, just preheat burner to high and let warm up for a few minutes. When ready to cook, turn main burner to low and the others off.

Rub the steaks with vegetable oil and sprinkle with pepper. Place the stakes on the cooler side of the grate and let cook 10 to 20 minutes, or until they register 75 degrees. Flip and allow to cook until they reach 95 degrees, 10 – 20 minutes longer (I like my steak rare, so I did 12 on each side without temping.)

Finish off steaks on hotter part of the grill, to give them a nice brown finish, and a temp of 120 degrees. Transfer the steaks to a new clean wire rack, cover with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
