Well, after much reading and preparation I wanted a test go on steaks. As steak typically is an expensive mistake I went with a cheaper loin steak. I wanted to work on getting the egg temp high and keeping it there as well as getting a nice color and cross-hatch. I think i did a pretty good job considering the steak quality.
I served with a garbanzo bean salad and homemade pesto from basil in my herb garden and olive oil I brought back from Italy last year...Pretty good eats!
I'd say I've learned enough to go at a nicer steak. I'll hit the local organic/grass-fed farm this weekend and give it a go with some better stuff! Stay tuned!

FastEddieM, yeah, it certainly looks as if you can move on to move expensive cuts without ruining the cook!
I live in Dayton and was curious where you obtained your organic, greass fed beef? -
eenie meenie,
I've found a farm not far from my house in Liberty township (Northern Suburb of Cincinnati...I'm about equidistant between Cincinnati and Dayton). The web page is www.grasslandgraze.com. I highly recommend the meat and the farmers are great! They are only open on Saturday mornings for a few hours, but you can order ahead for pickup. Give em' a go! You won't be displeased! -
not sure why the link doesn't work but the address is www.grasslandgraze.com

Fast Eddie,
Looks good, brother. Don't be shy to apply that to some 1 1/2" - 2" ribeyes. You can't miss with the egg and a little attention. I'm a big fan of hot tubbing because I can get predictable results without having to nail the egg down at different temps.
I like the looks of that garbanzo salad. Is it just a standard pesto, or are there more ingredients?

Joe,
The pesto on the steak was the normal Genovese pesto...Basil, garlic, pine nuts, salt, olive oil and fresh parm...
The Garbanzo salad was super simple and had similar flavors to the pesto...drained and rinsed can of garbanzo beans, juice of half lemon, salt (to taste), 3tsp .olive oil, 2 TBSP chopped basil, 1 garlic clove minced, and fresh grated parm to taste (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) Bon Appetite Magazine Spring 2011
Delicious and pretty healthy...if that is important to you...if not still delicious! -
Looks like you are ready for a 2 inch thick steak. Beans look good too!Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx
