Equipment

  • Pre-Slicing Knife
  • Grill
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients

  • 300 gram Beef Prime Rib After all fat, tendons, and bones were trimmed off
  • Flake Salt to taste
  • Pepper from grinder, to taste

Instructions

  • Take the steak out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking. Cold meat has a hard time forming a crust and will instead start to "boil" when it hits the heat. This actually applies to all kinds of meat – even ground meat and chicken.
  • Then thoroughly dry the meat with paper towels or a clean cloth. Look at your steak and note in which direction the fibers run.
  • Season the steak with flaky salt and freshly ground pepper. When dealing with such a delicious piece of meat, it's clear it should be pampered with flaky salt both before and after cooking.
  • Place the steak in the center of the scorching hot grill. Let the steak grill for 1 minute on each side. Generally, dry-aged meat requires a shorter cooking time than "normal wet-aged" meat, as it contains less moisture. It can, therefore, easily become dry if cooked for too long.
  • Then place the steak over indirect heat. Let the steak grill for another 2-4 minutes on each side, depending on how you prefer your steak. You can relatively easily feel if the steak is done by using the following trick.

Rare:

  • Relax your right hand and lightly touch your right thumb and index finger together (without pressing them). Use the index finger of your left hand to press on the "pad" under your right thumb. If it feels the same pressing there as it does when pressing on the steak, your steak is rare.
  • Medium:
  • Repeat the aforementioned method, but instead touch your right thumb to your right middle finger. The "pad" will now feel the same as the meat when it's medium-cooked.

Rose:

  • Same method, but where the thumb touches the ring finger.

Well-done:

  • Again, the same method, but with the thumb and little finger. However, it would be a shame to cook such a delicious cut well-done! ;-) Remove the meat from the heat when it’s cooked to your preference.

Preparation

  • Place the meat on a cutting board and let it rest (uncovered!) for 2-3 minutes. It’s important not to cover or wrap the meat, as the cooking process will then continue.
  • Slice the steak across the fibers.
  • Serve.
