First Reverse Sear... Really? Yes, really.. (Lotsa pics yo!)

Greetings friends, Strips are $8 off a pound at the butcher. I grabbed a 1 1/2 pounder that measured two inches. Set myself up with some garlicky lemongrass grape seed Brussels and bacon Gouda shrimp Mac and cheese. We're talking the ultimate Batchelor meal. A pint of home brewed Porter, and a dream...

    Set everything up.

    Started a slow warm up on the BGE with the bottom tier of the swing grate. 350* until meat hit 100*.

    Sautéed off the garlic Brussels while the cast iron of Mac flamed over the upper tier, which was supported by lumps of mesquite right on the coals. When it went nuclear, I threw the steak back on. It was honestly pretty dramatic.

    Brought it to 130*. A quick rest and served 'er up.

    Forgot to mention the garlic butter there on top. Wow.

    Next time I'll pull it off at 110*. Could've been a bit more in the mid rare side for me. Temp was directly on.

    Have to give a shout out to the Ceramic Grill Works people. The swing grate is something I use in almost every cook. Searing to low n slow. Couldn't be happier.

    Oh. Leftovers? Nada. That was like four pounds of awesome.

    Thanks for reading!

  • Awesome cook! Pictures were great too. How do you post your pics? Every time I post pics they end up too small.

    Thanks. Reverse sear left the meat REALLY moist. Really amazing. A bit extra work, but easier than a straight trex I think. I might search out an interesting cast iron grate and use my spider next time. There had been concern with some people with warping of the cgw grate. Franco assured me I Wouldn't have any problems. It performed perfectly, I just can't not buy more trinkets and tools for the bge lol.
