Equipment

Big Green Egg

convEGGtor (optional)

Grilling rack

Cast Iron Dutch Oven or skillet

Small bowl

Blender or food processor

Knife

Cutting board

Meat thermometer

Ingredients

2 large rib eye steaks

4-5 large potatoes, cut into wedges

Potato Butter

⅓ cup melted butter

1 tsp Italian herbs

1 tsp garlic powder

⅓ cup + ¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese

Chimichurri Sauce

2 cups fresh coriander

1 shallot

2 tbsp fresh oregano

3 cloves garlic

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

½ tsp chilli flakes (more if you like more spice)

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

½ cup olive oil

Method

  • Bring the steak to room temperature by removing it from the fridge 1½ hours before cooking.
  • Prepare the chimichurri sauce by adding all the chimichurri ingredients to a blender and pulsing until well combined but still textured. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate.
  • Cut the potatoes into wedges and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
  • In a large cast iron pan, combine the melted butter, herbs, garlic powder, and ⅓ cup of parmesan cheese. Whisk until a paste forms. Add the potato wedges and toss to coat thoroughly, then sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup of parmesan.
  • Prepare the Big Green Egg for indirect cooking by setting up the convEGGtor and grilling rack. Light the coals and bring the grill to a target temperature of 392°F/200°C.
  • Place the seasoned potato wedges in the cast iron pan on the grilling rack. Close the lid and cook for 7–8 minutes.
  • Open the lid, flip the wedges, close the lid, and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are finishing, remove them from the grill and set them aside. Carefully remove the grilling rack and convEGGtor to switch the grill to direct cooking.
  • Lightly oil and season the steaks with salt, then place them directly on the wire rack over the coals. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Flip the steaks and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 118°F/48°C for medium-rare.
  • Return the potatoes to the grill and cook everything together for a few more minutes, until the steak reaches a final temperature of 122–125°F/50–52°C.
  • Remove the steak and potatoes from the grill. Slice the steak, plate everything, and drizzle generously with the chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately.
