Ribeye Steak with 'bake and pray' potatoe gratin and a salad from the Green EGG!
The weather was amazing today in the Netherlands.
25 degrees in Oktober.
This could have been the last day to grill in my shorts so I went for it.
We had a lot of leftovers in the fridge and I don't like wasting them.
I decided to freestyle.
This is what I found around the house. Potatoes, Crème fraîche, cheese, Feta, a bag of vegetables. And later I also found a lettuce. I decided to make a gratin with what I had without knowing if it would work. A bake and pray.
Butter the cast iron pan.
I used a mandolin to slice the potatoes
Building the gratin. Start with a layer of potatoes
I added a layer of cheese, vegetables, and Crème fraîche. Truth be told I didn't think it looked very appetizing. But now I was committed. No way back.
I kept building and finished with a nice layer of cheese. That's better.
Time to light the egg! I aimed for 200C. You always use charcoal in the green EGG, never briquettes, you can see big chunks of charcoal inside the grill.
On they go! I checked every 10 minutes.
After 20 minutes I got the steaks and salted them with sea salt. One was a lot thicker than the other so that one I put on first.
I added the steak to the grill. I aimed for an internal temp of around 55-60C
End result! Not bad at all! The steak was perfectly rare. The gratin was nice, but with cream, it's a little bit better, I have to admit. But for a Monday meal, yeah you don't hear me complain :)
The steak cut open (I can't stand it when they don't show you this.)
This is what the gratin looked like. It was not a bad try at all!
@exyle the steak looked a tad bit RARE for my taste but that is OK. Now I am really curious how the Gatin turned out ?? All in all you are quite a Chef.......
Steak looks like a heart attack for vegetarians. Fat tasty food with some beverage - coca cola? Hope no
Oh yeah, you're right, in such a fine weather, eat a good steak with a salad, it's worth it! The most important thing is that everything is cooked on an open fire, and this gives the dish a special taste! Thank you @exyle
You can't beat the taste of the grill!
Good job turning "leftovers" into a nice meal. I'm sad when I have to throw food away because it's waste of valuable resources and money.
Me too. It feels like such a waste.

If you ever make it, use cream :)
It does looks delicious and that is a great thing to not wasting any food .
The end result surely looked fine and great
Wow I don't understand how can some people eat beef that rare !! Is it hard to chew ? Or is it perfectly succulent and tender ?
This meat is incredibly tender. It's very soft to chew and full of flavor.
