Weighed the ribeye at 1.85 lbs and salted with Diamond kosher based on saltyourmeat’s recommended amount. Put in the fridge overnight and then a few hours before cooking, I rubbed it down with some Wagyu beef tallow and my homemade chili powder rub.

Smoked at 150F for right around 3 hours to an internal temp of 120F. Immediately threw it onto a rip roaring grill and seared for 3.5 minutes. Peak internal temp was 140.3F.

    That looks like a lot of salt, not criticizing, I must be really under seasoning. Looks delicious none the less!

    What meat thermometer do you use? My old Bluetooth one doesn’t seem to reading temps very accurately, so I’m in the market for a new one.

    Bud that’s a BEAUTIFUL STEAK, damn near perfect. Cooked AMAZING. And beautiful photography man, professional.

    I’ve never cooked as low as 150… honestly didn’t know that was even possible.

    Also what is a cowboy ribeye, I’ve ate one. I just don’t know what makes a cowboy ribeye different than a regular ribeye.

    Looks really good but it looks like a bone in chuck steak. The fat break lines are similar to chuck roast.

    Excellent photography and that ribeye looks mouthwatering.

    Your internal measurements seem to be accurate. That meat looks to be a solid medium. Looks delicious. Nicely done.
