Prep Directions:

Remove steak from the fridge and package and allow to breathe and rest for 10 minutes prior to seasoning

Cooking Directions:

Take the ribeye steak out of the package and place onto a cookie sheet

Rub each side of the ribeye steak with a very light coat of the canolive oil
Season the steak on both sides with a blend of the Rub-A-Dub and Island Boys Coffee Rub
Rest the steak and let the rub work for 10 - 15 minutes
Open the Weber Grill, load your GrillGrates on the right side of the grill, over the sear station
Ignite the Weber on the right side burner ONLY and adjust temp to 250˚
Once Weber has reached 250˚, load the steaks onto the left side of the grill, on the warming rack
Load the weber connect probe into the steak and set an alarm for 105˚
Once alarm goes off at 105˚, remove the steak to a pan.  Leave the weber connect probe in the steak (cook time will be approx. 35 minutes)

Allow the grill and GrillGrates to heat up to temp, approx. 15 minutes
