Himalayan Salt Block Rib-Eye 🔗

Kick your steak grilling up a notch with a Himalayan salt block. It makes an amazing presentation for any get-together! In San Diego, I worked at a waterfront restaurant. The views were beautiful, and the chef had to make sure his dishes reflected that beauty. One day, he created a seasonal dish using a Himalayan salt block to cook the meat. I was instantly in love with this grilling technique and have used it ever since!

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless rib-eye steaks, trimmed (about 1 pound each)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt  
  • 1 tablespoon coarse black pepper  
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature  
  • 2 sprigs rosemary  
  • Flaky sea salt 

Instruction:

  1. Preheat a grill to 250 degrees F.
  2. Place a Himalayan salt block onto the grates and cover the grill. After 20 minutes, raise the grill temperature to 325 degrees F. After 20 more minutes, raise the grill temperature to 400 degrees F.  
  3. Meanwhile, bring the rib-eyes to room temperature.  
  4. Brush both sides of the rib-eyes with the vegetable oil. Season the rib-eyes with the kosher salt and pepper on both sides.  
  5. Place the rib-eyes on the Himalayan salt block and cover. Cook until the rib-eyes are golden and caramelized on the bottom and the internal temperature reads 125 degrees F, 7 to 10 minutes. Flip the rib-eyes, then apply 1 tablespoon of butter to the top of each and rest 1 sprig of rosemary on top of the butter. Continue to cook, covered, until the internal temperature reads 130 degrees F for medium rare, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the rib-eyes to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Remove the rosemary sprigs and finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. 

FAQ

What do you cook on a Himalayan salt block?

Your salt block will maintain the heated temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, so place directly onto the heated salt slab, then cook to desired doneness, stirring and moving around the salt plate as you would any other grilling surface.

Can you smoke meat on a Himalayan salt block?

Himalayan salt blocks are ideal for baking or grilling meats, poultry, eggs, fish, seafood, fresh fruit, and vegetables. They can also be used to bake cookies, scones, pizzas, and other baked goods because they conduct heat effectively and at high temperatures.
