We've been charcoal grilling more then usual and had the best rib eye steak ever recently. The steak is sold at your local Costco, it is the USDA Prime (blue package) at $12.99/lb. Make sure you pick the best "purchase by dates" as these don't sell as fast as the USDA Choice and some have sat in their fridge for awhile. Also recommend getting the Montreal steak seasoning while you're at Costco. After getting your steak, head on over to H-Mart (we shop at the District Costco and just take that road next to Jamboree to head straight into H-Mart's parking lot), and pick up some peeled garlic and sesame oil. When you get home fire up your charcoal and get it flaming. While you wait stuff the garlic into the steak along the fatty part of the rib-eye. You can slice up the garlic a little to make it easier to push into the soft steak. Give it a good coating of sesame oil on both sides and sprinkle the Montreal seasoning to taste (you might decide not to do this for the pure steak enthusiasts). When the charcoal flames has died down, plop that big steak onto the center of your grill (the briquettes would be touching the steak but I bought one of those grill toppers from Target so maybe 1/3" space in between). Grill for 9 min one side and 8 min the other for a medium steak. Flip with one of those metal spatulas as using tongs would make most of the garlic fall out. Pour your favorite beverage (Costco's Kirkland's pre-mixed margarita is quick and easy with a blender) and enjoy.
A good side dish for this are some grilled calamari. H-Mart sells these tubed squid in their fridge aisle (near the frozen section) for about $2-3 for two pieces. Rinse these well when you get home, cut along one side of the tube so it spreads flat. Use the sharp point of your knife and make shallow cuts in the flesh of the flattened squid, this will prevent it from curling up when grilling. Add your favorite marinade (we like Trader Joe's teriyaki marinade, a sprinkle of ponzu, and alot of cayenne pepper), and you can grill these immediately, and they do grill fast so stand by your calamari unless you like them blackened.
