Gridiron Griller: Reggie's Ribeye
MIAMI (CBS4) ―
Reggie's Ribeye Serves 4
Prep & Ready time: 15 min; Grill time: 10 min.
As part of the Gridiron Griller TV segment seen on South Florida's CBS4 every Sunday, Reggie Torbor, an inside linebacker for the Miami Dolphins, stopped by my home as our special Gridiron Grilling guest! He brought with him a favorite meal from his hometown of Montgomery, Alabama - a simple recipe of basic ingredients that feature the bone end ribeye steak. The traditional ribeye is a highly marbleized, fatty piece of meet that generates some desirable, but potentially disastrous flare-ups. So like Reggie, you've got to keep your (rib)eye on the grill. The flames will overcome the bone end ribs if your eyes get distracted by some curious neighborhood fan.
The thing I like best about this recipe is the minimum ingredients and prep time, and the maximum flavor results. This makes for a delicious meal your team will want to go into overtime for! My thanks to Reggie and his wife Michelle, for spending a fun afternoon with us and sharing his undefeated recipe! Go Dolphins!
PREP 4 x 1" thick Bone end Ribeye Steak
Olive oil to brush
Salt and pepper to taste
Spicy Montreal Steak Seasoning to taste
1 Large sweet onion
Brush steaks with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lightly shake on the Montreal Seasoning on both sides. Slice onion to 1/4" slices and brush with oil, salt and pepper.
READY Set up your grill for direct grilling. Preheat grill to 450 degrees and oil the grill grates. Pop the middles out of the onions and put in a grill basket or discard.
Grill Place steaks on center of the grill and grill for about five minutes on each side. Line up the onions along the edges and grill with the steaks, flipping when browned. Allow steaks to cool for 3-5 minutes. Smother in onions and serve.

"
There's nothing like a NFL linebacker watching the eyes of a split end moments before a jolting hit... then again, you haven't seen a bone-end Ribeye Steak squiggle & sizzle on the grill succumb to Reggie Torbor's dexterous flip!"
