SRF NW Prime New York Strip. Spoiler Alert...delicious!

Options
Got a delivery from SRF this week and today was the day for steak. 

1.Tried a new seasoning today "Special ****" and some garlic. 
2. Got the egg ready to 250 used royal oak and two pecan chunks
3. Smoked until one steak was 120 for my wife and mine was 110. Tracking using my CyberQ
4. Let rest for 20 minutes
5. Had cast iron ready on my gas grill so that I could go ahead and put ribs on the egg for tomorrow's dinner. 
6. Seared for a minute each side with butter in the pan. 
7. My wife made veggies on the gas grill and homemade cowboy butter with homegrown parsley, red pepper flakes, and garlic. 
8. Incredible steak.

    Most eggcellent-a rare talent to get SWMBO actively involved.  With those results and her engagement your SRF future should be unbounded.  Go forth and enjoy-

    Wow, home run on all points... I would say "well done" but that would be a mixed message on that beautiful rare steak.

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    I live not far from where they make their seasonings.  The Special **** is one of my go to seasonings.  They also make Chicken **** which has a little italian seasoning, and the Good **** which is a little sweeter.  I recommend all of them.  The Bull **** is supposed to be the spicy blend, but tastes more just like cayenne pepper.  It is not bad, but I wasnt impressed.

    SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!  WOW that thing looks great!!!

    And I've NEVER seen a sous vide steak that had been seared at all that looked more edge-to-edge perfect, and many that actually had a much thicker line of gray beef.  I might try sous vide, sometime, but it won't be for steaks!  That is gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS!!!

    @Theophan I really appreciate all the kind words. I really do. Those steaks had some serious flavor and I'm thrilled with how they finished. If some people weren't believers in reverse searing I would hope this would sway them.

    @jak7028 I was driving through Texas on my way from Houston to Dallas and stopped for gas and saw these seasonings and the names made me laugh. I figured if someone was that creative they deserved a shot. I'm glad I bought them. I'll definitely have to try more of them. Have you tried their Dip **** yet or BBQ ****?

    I liked the names also, and they are made at the "big **** ranch."  Usually brands like that are funny, but not the best seasonings.  The special **** and chicken **** are 2 of my standard seasonings I use though.  

    I haven't tried those yet.  I have had their salsa.  It is decent, but more heat than flavor.  I am pretty spoiled on good salsas though.  You can order online at their website.  I have sent the "box of ****" to people as a gift on several occasions.  I misspoke above, it is the aw **** that I wasn't impressed with, I have not tried the bull ****.

    My go to seasonings have been some of the Dizzy Pig (Dizzy Dust, Raging River, etc) family of seasonings. They are a pretty good base. For steak a lot of times I love using McCormick's Montreal Steak seasoning. I love their salt and pepper combo and the courseness of it. It's good and simple.
