I tried something new. I preheated in oven to 275 then with steaks on a rack over a large baking dish heated it until internal temp reached 125 degrees, which takes about 60 minutes, however mine were very thick over 1 1/2" which took longer. Then in very hot skillet M/H seared each side for 1 minute.

Sometimes I do it that way, sometimes I sear it first. Depends on whether is use the grill pan or the outdoor grill.

Looks fantastic, Kerry ! Rib-eyes are my absolute favorite cut of beef as well, followed closely by
T-bones and porterhouse ! Only thing better (to me) is a nice
prime rib, washed down with a glass of red wine (burgundy ?/
merlot ?) ! Looks great, Kerry ! Hope you had a nice evening !

WOW ! I cooked a standing rib roast. It weighed 4.92 (5) pounds. That's what we had for our Valentines dinner.
I cooked asparagus and little whole tricolored potatoes.
It all turned out great.

Your 2 steaks weighed almost as much as our whole roast.

My wife and I will celebrate 43 years this November 26.

One Valentine's day, about 30 years ago, I neglected to make reservations for a dinner that evening. I was really up against it trying to come up with something.

With a quick adjustment, I made it seem like it was my plan all along to shop for, plan, prepare, cook a very special Valentine's Dinner for her. I hit the supermarket on the way home from work. Turns out, we had a wonderful evening, and the meal was a huge hit.

Surf and Turf, with all the fixin's and a sweet dessert.

It was, in fact, such a hit that we made it a tradition, and I have done it every year since.

But, that first year, I was completely covering up for a lack of thinking and planning ahead.

Sometimes Plan B works out very well....

In the words of RJSample..... "just sayin!"

Thanks bad. I just received a new round Belgium Waffle maker and have been having a kick making the Waffles and trying different recipes. It sure works slick.
