Scotch Fillet BBQ Guide

Scotch fillet (ribeye) is many pitmasters' favourite steak. The heavy marbling melts during cooking, creating a rich, juicy result. The fat cap renders best over direct heat. Don't trim the fat — it's where the flavour is. Season with salt and pepper only; the beef quality does the work.
