Steak Duo

byrne092

Browsing the SRF sale really put me in the mood for steak so naturally had to stop and pick a few up. 1 NYStrip and 1 Ribeye.

I have been using the TRex method with great success, but wanted to mix it up a bit. I decided to go hot an fast. I ended up running around 650. Steaks took about 4 minutes, flipping every 30 seconds, dome closed after flips. They turned out absolutely fantastic!

I need to stop looking at these threads while working... looks great.

I like everything about this post except NY Strip.  I guess it's my pet peeve like forks for @THEBuckeye who may comment on this one soon.  Being from KC I call it a KC Strip or just a steak.  The food does look good.

Man those look great.  I am partial to reverse sear but I might give this method a try next time.  It sounds nice to not mess with multiple stages and just cook them.

Looks really great! I am curious, is it common practice on the BGE to flip steaks multiple times? I usually just cook once on each side for high heat cooking.

Excellent!!

Looks great. I may have that same yellow plate, mine seems to get hotter than a BGE in a microwave

Ladeback69  - Yeah I agree, its a just a strip steak. A lot of places around here use the term NYS, and it just sticks.

IPASooner  - I think it is just personal preference, I've done it both ways with good results. There was an article out recently that actually explained that flipping helps with consistently, but once again it probably doesn't make much difference.

Yeah it was a nice change of pace from a 30-45 minute cook time to 5.

Just another way to cook them. There are several ways to cook a good steak do what you like best. It is fun to try different techniques, I've started keeping notes on different cooks, so I remember what works best. Too many beers can cloud the memory bank! Lol

Thanks for the clarification @byrne092

It makes a difference if you don't want banding. Plus, it cooks faster.

Yeah the quicker cook time was the other thing mentioned. That would make sense because it would be facing the heat more often. What is banding?

Yeah these plates seem to get ridiculously hot in the microwave/oven
