The chefs, who are brothers, even beat The Early Show's own grilling maven, Bobby Flay, in the Iron Chef competition.
The Rathburns bring boldness to their dishes as they wow diners and critics alike in their restaurants in Dallas and Atlanta. The influence of Cajun, Creole and Southwestern cuisine is unmistakable.
They shared several rib-eye steak recipes with Early Show viewers Tuesday.
The rib-eye is cut from the roast that sits at the top of the rib primal. As a roast, it's known as a standing rib roast or, more commonly, prime rib (though technically, only if it's prime grade beef). The rib-eye is a boneless cut. When the bone is attached, it's called a rib steak.

These two sauces seem exciting, except a good steak can stand out in its own flavors. I cringe when I see a good piece of meat get buried in too much side flavors.
I''ve been to Kent''s restaurants in Dallas - Abacus and Jaspers are both terrific.
Does anyone know if Kent and Kevin are originally from the KC area?
