Erica, your technique for ribeye sounds mouth-watering. Personally, I cook sirloin, which strikes the right balance of tenderness and flavor without too much fat. For flavoring, I like a mix of salt, crushed pepper, garlic granules, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Sitting the steak at room temperature for around 30 minutes before cooking ensures evenness. High heat first gets outstanding grill marks, then a lower heat for cooking is my secret for perfect results. Any ideas on boosting smoke infusion or other flavors would be great!

I always go for filet mignon due to its tenderness. Sometimes, I garnish with flavored butter to elevate richness. A usual seasoning mix for me includes sea salt, cracked black pepper, and a hint of thyme. An essential suggestion is resting the steak post-cooking. I let mine rest under foil for a good 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to settle before cutting. This ensures a juicy, flavorful result. For a smoky taste, try using soaked wood chips like apple. It enriches the aroma and accentuates the steak's natural taste superbly. Eager to hear more tips!
