Wagyu/Kobe Bone-in Ribeyes!

[Gary H. NJ]

Yeah, I saw these and had to pull the trigger. And by the way, thanks to everyone for celebrating Smoke Day on my birthday weekend.
Truthfully, my wife and I don't eat a lot of beef, so these really were a luxury. Pretty, ain't they? A full two inches thick, weighing a total of 3.5 lb for both together.

Back to those later... Bruschetta with onion jam, chèvre and pesto.

Little sweet peppers. Tossed them with a little soy when they came off the grill.

My daughter is home for a week before she starts her new job at University of Maryland. She prefers shrimp.

Back to the stars of the show. Generously salted and let sit for 20 minutes before grilling. Rubbed a little black pepper and olive oil on them before hitting the grill.

Getting happy.

Internal temp of 125-130 for medium rare. Hit them with ground sumac and pepper, then rested.

And served. My wife and I didn't even finish one of them, but leftovers are fine with us. We also had green salad with sliced, roasted beets; and fingerling potatoes in a puttanesca sauce with green olives.

My daughter is ready for cake, so time to go. I'll post that in a bit...
Thanks again all. Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.

WOW!!!!
Rib eyes look perfect and I bet they tasted great!!!

The shrimp was great Jim. A greek-style marinade of oregano, lemon zest, s&p and Evoo, then splashed with a little of the salad dressing made from the same with lemon juice and more Evoo added. Good stuff and simple.
Here's the flour-less chocolate cake (thanks to Janelle) with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries. Life is good.
