JERK RIB EYE STEAK WITH ICE RICE

Jerk seasoning on a rib eye and rice made with ice? Don't worry I haven't completely lost my mind, this is an awesome recipe for the barbecue. You don't even need to go to your indoor hob to cook your rice - you can do it right there on the barbecue!! With the lid closed, the ice melts creating steam with the end product being (drum roll please) extremely fluffy and soft rice. Add to that some chopped pepper and onion, cooked dirty in the coals and pineapple which has been grilled right there next to the jerk flavoured beef you'll feel like your on your holidays!
