I went to a local butcher today and got 4 nice size rib eyes. In a normal store these would cost $14-$16 a pound. This butcher is actually the slaughter house and they have a small retail operation out front. The steak is choice grade and is only $4.49 a pound.

This recipe for Rib Eyes also works well on New York cut steaks, Elk steaks, Venison and Moose steaks. You do not need to own a wood fired oven to make this recipe. These steaks can be cooked over lump charcoal or an open wood fire. It is a great recipe for camping.

I encourage you to try this recipe this summer.

4 Choice or Prime Rib Eye Steaks

Olive Oil
1 pound of Mushrooms - sliced

7 Place the rack with the steaks on the coals.
8 Sear steak for two minutes turn over and sear other side for two more minutes.

I cook steaks/mushrooms/onions using a similar method on the stove plus in the oven. Alton Brown recipe.
I'm sure your wood oven steps it up a notch or two.
Do you know the temp in that wood oven?

The dome of the oven can reach over 1500 degrees and the floor can reach about 900 degrees. The floor was 800 and the dome was 1200 degrees when I cooked the steaks.
