I received 6 - 1.5 inch thick Omaha Steaks filets as a holiday season gift and plan to cook them tonight. I cook most food on the Egg low and slow with a good deal of success. However, I've only cooked steaks on the Egg a couple times and they only turned out OK. Usually too done.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Search for T-Rex method, or reverse T-Rex, or "hot tub."
In order, sear and dwell, dwell and sear, water bath and sear.
Sear = cook as hot as possible. Drop the steaks on the grill at the lower position, 30 seconds per half inch per side. Flip.
Dwell = reduce heat to 400 dome, and cook on a raised grill for about 20 minutes, or until internal temp is 120-5.
hot-tub Rub and bag steaks in plastic. Immerse in hot water from tap, about 120. Wait for steaks to warm, maybe 30 - 45 min. Expose to searing temps as above, and serve after a few minute rest.
I go with the last. Remove from water bath, and 3 minutes later they are done. Blackened on the outside, pink on the inside. Easy and quick.

Here's some interesting discussion regarding steaks:

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee -
T-Rex.

Sea salt + cracked pepper + T-Rex = happy steak eater. 600 degrees or hotter (great is you have a cast iron and spider), let cast iron heat up, put steaks on for 1.5 - 2 mins per side (don't get scared here let them sizzle), take off let rest, drop BGE to 400 degree (20 minutes rest) and bake to perfection (125-135 med/rare-med) and be sure to let rest for five minutes after you take it off the grill (let the juices settle).

Cooking a decent steak has less to do with way you cook it and more to do with taking it off at the right temperature. Get a decent meat thermometer, and for medium rare, pull at about 125 internal. It will be great.Packerland, Wisconsin -
Drop those bad boys right onto the coals to sear them.
