Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I just bought my first BGE this week, cooked twice on it so far and I'm hooked. Everything I've read about the BGE is true.
Just before I brought it home, we received a gift box from Omaha Steaks from a family member. Timing couldn't have been better. Pics to come soon!
So my question is, what is the best way to cook steaks with the BGE? I've always cooked on high heat with the grill open. One flip and remove to get to medium/medium rare. Same process or is there a better way?
Thanks

Welcome! In general, always cook with the dome closed (that goes for steaks too). Easy way is just bring it up to 500 or so, throw them on the grate and close the dome lid. Don't forget to watch out for flashback.
There are all kinds of steak cooking techniques that you can experiment with. TRex, reverse sear, hot tub, sous vide, cave-man. Search for them, read up and play around.

What Nola said - new egg owners it is best to bring egg to 500 stabilized, grid on the fire ring. Burp it, drop on your steaks and treat it like you did your gasser, except close the lid. Take the internal temp to assure doneness and enjoy.

Welcome aboard. This forum is greatness! As far as the steaks, depends on the type, thickness and how you like them. I like to cook 1 1/2 " filets, let the Egg peg out and sear on each side for 60-90 seconds, then shut off both top and bottom air flow and let them cook to your desired IT.PROUD MEMBER OF THE WHO DAT NATION!
