Prime Cut Rib Eye Grilled Over Live Mesquite with West Texas "Mop" Sauce
*Serves 4
The Ribeye:
1) Fire up the grill.
2) Season rib eye filets with salt and pepper to taste. On the hot grill, place as many filets as you can without crowding. Cook fillets for 4 minutes on each side. Meat should be medium-rare. Repeat as needed. A minute before the filets are finished grilling, brush on a generous amount of MOP sauce to glaze. Turn each filet and cook until glaze thickens, about 1 minute. Remove filets from the grill and keep warm.
