Steps:
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels and place it on a wire rack situated on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt per side. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Pat it dry with paper towels again and reseason it with 1/2 teaspoon salt per side and 1/2 teaspoon cracked peppercorns per side, pressing so the seasoning adheres.
- If making the rib eye on the stovetop, see the variation below. If making the rib eye on the grill, build a two-zone (medium-hot and medium-low) fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high just before cooking, leaving one burner on low. Brush the grill grate with oil. Place the steak over the higher heat, close the heat, and cook, flipping it just once, until nicely charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (If a flare-up occurs, use tongs to gently slide the steak to a cooler part of the grill until the flames subside.) Move the steak to lower heat and cook, flipping once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Using tongs, lift the steak and sear both edges (the bone side and the fatcap side) for 1 to 2 minutes per side to render some of the fat. Measure the temperature of the steak to ascertain when it has reached the desired temperature. For rare steak, it will take 14 to 18 minutes total grilling time to reach 120°F (49°C) although it will carry over to 125°F (51°C), or medium-rare, as it rests.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice it against the grain and season it with coarse sea salt. You know what to do from here.

HIMALAYAN SALT BLOCK RIB-EYE
Kick your steak grilling up a notch with a Himalayan salt block. It makes an amazing presentation for any get-together! In San Diego, I worked at a waterfront restaurant. The views were beautiful, and the chef had to make sure his dishes reflected that beauty. One day, he created a seasonal dish using a Himalayan salt block to cook the meat. I was instantly in love with this grilling technique and have used it ever since!

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to 250 degrees F.
- Place a Himalayan salt block onto the grates and cover the grill. After 20 minutes, raise the grill temperature to 325 degrees F. After 20 more minutes, raise the grill temperature to 400 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, bring the rib-eyes to room temperature.
- Brush both sides of the rib-eyes with the vegetable oil. Season the rib-eyes with the kosher salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the rib-eyes on the Himalayan salt block and cover. Cook until the rib-eyes are golden and caramelized on the bottom and the internal temperature reads 125 degrees F, 7 to 10 minutes. Flip the rib-eyes, then apply 1 tablespoon of butter to the top of each and rest 1 sprig of rosemary on top of the butter. Continue to cook, covered, until the internal temperature reads 130 degrees F for medium rare, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the rib-eyes to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Remove the rosemary sprigs and finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Steps:
- Pour the olive oil in a large plastic resealable bag and add in the rosemary, thyme, pinch salt, pinch pepper, the red pepper flakes and garlic. Add the steak to the bag and flip so the steaks are coated with the marinade. Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat one side of the grill to medium-high heat and the other side of the grill to medium-low heat. Let the steaks come up to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Let the excess marinade drip off the steaks and sprinkle the steaks generously on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the hotter side of the grill and sear on each side until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. Move the steaks to the cooler side of the grill and continue cooking until a meat thermometer reaches 120 degrees F, another 3 minutes per side. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, the temperature will rise to 125 degrees, for medium rare. If you prefer a medium steak, cook until the temperature reaches 130 degrees, and after resting it should rise to 135 degrees.
- Slice and serve the steaks.
SALT AND PEPPER SPARE RIBS
They say that whoever makes the most delicious thing with the fewest number of ingredients wins, which was the idea that inspired these. The recipe reminded me just how delicious pork ribs are when we don't try to do too much to them. Plus, this has to be the easiest method I've ever shared for doing ribs.

Steps:
- Mix salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Set spice rub aside.
- Stir Dijon mustard and vinegar together in a small bowl.
- Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Turn the ribs over so that the meat side is down. Use the tip of a small, sharp knife to make some very shallow slashes every few inches through the membrane that covers the ribs. Poke the knife 3 or 4 times between each rib bone, about 1/4 inch deep.
- Brush about 1/2 of the Dijon mustard mixture on top. Sprinkle with about 40% of the spice rub. Turn the rack over and brush on the rest of the mustard and vinegar mixture. Sprinkle on the rest of the rub, reserving 1 or 2 teaspoons in case you want to use it to season the cooked ribs later.
- Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, 4 to 12 hours before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove ribs from the refrigerator.
- Cook in the center of the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and baste with the pan drippings. Continue to cook until very tender and the tip of a knife slides in very easily, about 1 1/2 hours more.
- Remove from the oven, baste again, and let ribs rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:
- Put steak on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Pat dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt per side. Chill uncovered for up to 3 hours. Remove steak from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling and let come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels. Season again with 1/2 teaspoon salt; press in 1/2 teaspoon pepper per side so pieces adhere.
- Build a two-zone fire in a charcoal grill for direct (medium-high coals) and indirect (medium-low coals) heat. Alternatively, heat a gas grill to high just before cooking, leaving one burner on low. Sear steak over direct heat, flipping once, until nicely charred, 3-4 minutes per side. (If a flare-up occurs, use tongs to gently slide the steak to a cooler part of the grill.) Move steak to indirect heat and continue grilling, flipping once, 3-4 minutes per side. Using tongs, lift steak and sear both edges (the bone side and the fat-cap side) for 1-2 minutes per side to render out some of the fat.
