How to Prepare the Red Beef Reduction

- Add wine, peppercorns, thyme, and roasted short ribs; Simmer over medium-high heat for 15 minutes.

How to Grill Your Ribeyes

- Flip steaks and repeat for a total of 4 minutes.
- Transfer steaks to cool side of grill and cover; Allow steaks to cook until the desired steak temperature is reached based on cooking preference.
- Note: For a steak cooked medium, this will take approximately 8 to 10 minutes. However, this will vary based on the thickness of your steak.
- Remove steaks from grill; Allow to rest for 3 minutes.
- Serve with your choice of sides.
What to Pair with Your Steaks
The fat content of a flavorful ribeye makes red wine an excellent pairing option. This composition balances out the bitter tannins of the wine for a smooth, mellow palate. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most popular option for pairing with steak, but whatever you chose for your red beef reduction will work just as well.
Prefer a beer? Stouts and porters are popular options, but feel free experiment to your liking.
The Right Equipment Can Make a "Good" Steak "Great"
Our premium grills—like the these steaks were prepared on—can open up a world of cooking possibilities. The infrared technology of this grill evenly distributes heat across the entire grilling surface to prevent hot or cold spots. This, in turn, results in better results no matter what you're grilling. These burners also allow for rapid heat-up and efficient operation of the grill—it uses less than the fuel of other infrared grills on the market.
Infrared grills are far from your only option, however. We offer a full selection of gas grills as well as charcoal grills at Spotix. Call our sales team at 888-690-3773 if you'd like more help finding the right grill for your budget and grilling style.
