We enjoyed this very much and the hubs couldn't have loved it more. I used buffalo rib eye steaks. I personally found the end result saltier than I prefer, but found the method to be speedy and easy. I did use course kosher salt, but I think I may use less than called for next time. I also served it with a compound butter I mixed up using 2 T butter, 2 t minced garlic, 1/4 t course ground pepper and a palmful of grated parmesean cheese. Yum. Thanks for posting.

I used kosher salt & delicious home-raised beef from one of our cows. The steaks smelled wonderful while they were cooking & looked good when they were done & had rested. Perhaps I used too much kosher salt because they were too salty for my taste! I don't cook with much salt but we eat some prepared foods with higher salt content. Wish they had turned out more to our liking:( Hope it turns out better for you if you try the recipe!
