Those with Texas-size appetites will require an entire steak; for most others - even the heartiest of meat lovers - half of one of these rib steaks is probably plenty.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Tbsp coarse kosher salt
1 tsp hungarian sweet paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp dried ground thyme
1 tsp finely ground coffee beans
4 bone-in beef rib steaks (1 1/2-in thick, 12 to 16 oz each)
instant-light mesquite chunks

Steps:

  • 1. Mix first 6 ingredients in small bowl.
  • 2. Sprinkle spice rub over both sides of steaks, pressing to adhere. Let steaks stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • 3. Spread entire bag of instant-light mesquite chunks over 2/3 of bottom rack and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
  • 4. Grill steaks over mesquite until brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove steaks from grill.
  • 5. Let mesquite chunks burn until ash is gray.
  • 6. Drain wood chips; scatter over mesquite.
  • 7. Return steaks to cooler part of grill (not over mesquite).
  • 8. Cover barbecue with lid; grill steaks to desired doneness, about 10 minutes for medium-rare.
  • 9. Let steaks rest 5 minutes before serving.
