    I've had a few rubs and a couple marinades I've liked, but a nicely cooked rib eye (medium rare) shouldn't need more than a little salt and pepper.

    Good cut of meat should only need a bit of salt and pepper...maybe a few other minimal spices but that's it.

    Anything else masks the flavor IMHO...I guess that's a good thing if it's a bad piece of meat LOL

    Yep. Sea salt and pepper is all I need. I never use that fancy steak spice mixture. No need to defile a nice NY strip.

    And come on Flash..... not the ketchup?!?

    When I was younger, I liked them cooked just long enough that a good vet couldn't resuscitate it. Even Raw with a little salt. Now I prefer medium rare.

    By the way, put some blue cheese on top and let it melt over the steak. Great combination.

    Sauce is blasphemy.
    Not always. There are some French recipes (then again, almost all "American" recipes are actually French) for sauced steaks that are sublime.

    I'm as much a "Just salt, pepper, and a minute on a hot grill" guy as anyone but if I could never again have a steak au poivre, I'd consider my life a little less bright.

    Of course, if you're just talking about, say, Heinz 57 sauce...that stuff is for french fries, only.

    This is a long thread and just read the last few pages, but anyone else do bison steaks? My wife isn't a big beef eater but I cook a nice bison New York strip about once a month, medium-rare with just a touch of a seasoned salt and pepper. Grilled asparagus and/or garlic mashed potatoes and a nice Zinfandel or Tempernillo rounds out the meal.

    I still love to get a good beef filet when we go to a nicer restaurant where I know they will cook it right (again, medium-rare).

    Can't say I've had the bison steaks, but I have had bison burgers in South Dakota and it was better than beef in flavor, very good.

    Yes. In New Mexico at Philmont Scout Ranch

    For nearly 10 years I used to teach a week-long class at the PTC every September. As a "thank you" to the faculty they would serve a bison steak dinner the last night of the week. It was kind of cool knowing the meat had been culled from the herd right there on the property.

    i take my ribeyes, cut a minimum of 1" thick, and salt an pepper them, then they go in the smoker set at 185*. They smoke until the center reaches a temperature of 125*, then they come off and rest, uncovered, for at least 15 minutes. Then, I heat the cast iron, ribbed skillet to about 475* and throw the steaks in for two minutes on each side. this way, I get medium rare all the way through, and a nice crisp caramelized crust on the outside. YUM

    Man I love smoked Ribeye. I'll have to try the skillet finish method!
