Yummy supper, in front of the TV. Yes, that is Coke Zero in a can and Heinz 57. What can I say? I'm a Philistine.

    Costco steaks are great. I am planning to pick some up this weekend myself. Quick question for all you hot sear aficionados. Is it really all that critical? If you're cooking on a cast iron grill, is there really any reason to push the dome temp beyond 450 or 500 degrees? I'm thinking of the felt and the wear and tear that a blazing temp can have on the gasket. Plus the grid will be quite a lot hotter than the dome temp, so back to my question, if you're a little more patient, can't you achieve the same affect cooking on cast iron at the lower temp?

    Just asking.

    If you have a CI grid(cooking surface) and preheat it to 450(dome) or so,you are good to go.You will get good marks without running the risk of overcooking your steaks.Pull them at 125 internal and rest em for 10 minutes or so before serving.You can always throw one back on a couple of minutes but you,me or no one else can UNCOOK anything.HINT.The thicker the steak,the more forgiving.I would never attempt to grill a steak less than 1 inch thick.The High HEAT sear works on steaks that are AT LEAST 1.5 inches thick or thicker. ;) Good Luck. :)
