Ok need help here
I bought a10 lb prime Ny strip going to steak out @ 1.5 inch, should I use t-Rex method or reverse sear?
Also, please advise seasoning recommendations.
Pressure is on here trying to impress the dads with green egg techs.
Thanks In advance

  • Thanks hapster that sounds spot on gonna give it a whirl, I will definitely post pics.
  • Hapster, are you searing @ normal grid level?
  • Sorry I meant grate level

    When seering just remember: How low can you go?

    Personally I'm a reverse seer guy. I'm too impatient to wait to get temp down.
    I haven't had the guts to try grate on the coals or cowboy boy style yet.

    All to get cheaper brisket!

    With prime steaks I would recommend a little olive oil, kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper, with T-rex method.  Prime meat is usually more flavorful and I think its a shame to hide that flavor behind anything more than salt and pepper.

    The wife and I really like the Dizzy Pig Cow Lick rub for steak. I do not have any advice on times temps yet as I am still trying to perfect that myself. So far my steaks have wound up done (only had my egg for a month) and I would rather medium rare to medium. A work in progress. I will say though with the egg even when they are done they are still really good.

    Stips work very well hot tubbed. They shine with a green peppercorn sauce too.

    I do grate on the coal every time. Works like a champ.

    I was a huge olive oil guy until a week or so ago. I got into a discussion with our dearly departed Tweeve and dangit if he was not right. The scorch point of olive oil is around 400 degrees for the good juice (lower for most). The lump bed (used in the Trex method) is 1200+ degrees. So to humor him, i went dry, salt and pepper (no olive oil). I can't say I noticed a huge difference but it was better (and easier and cleaner). You are taking the chance of having a scorched oil taste off the table if you skip the EVOO when you do a Trex sear.

    Give it a try and see what you think.

    Salt and pepper and Cow Lick for me.  Get the egg to 400, place a 13" grate directly on the coals, and sear for 90 seconds per side.  Pull, foil, and rest for 20 minutes.  While resting, the egg is available for potatoes, corn, or whatever.  I then finish the steaks to temp at grate level, and top each with a pat of butter.
