Steaks and timing

Cheesehead64

Grilled some nice strips on the BGE. Following the book, I seared for a couple minutes on each side at 650, then shut her down and cooked another four minutes or so. When I checked them they were only at 110 or so, so I went another two minutes. Checked them again and they were at about 130 so I went another two minutes. When I pulled them they were about 150 so they probably got up to 160 when they were served. They were good but they were pretty well done. I'd like them more pink in the middle - medium. I probably should have pulled after the first time I gave them another 2 minutes, but they were only about 130.

Any tips on when to pull them?

Depends on how you like em. I personally like em no more than 125 internal then pull and rest. Have you tried TRex yet?

Get a good instant read thermometer (Thermapen) and check internal, pull a what temp you like.

Like Mike said I pull mine at 125-130 for med rare and the wife's at 130-135 for med after the 10 min rest.

times are all approximate around here. ditch the watch and get a thermapen. you'll be glad you did.
