So I am notorious for setting a time for dinner only to have it run long due to mismanagement with egg time. I wanna do some ribeyes reverse seared for a buddy to really impress him but the wife wants chicken so I wanna get the steaks done and then whip out the chicken really fast. Thoughts on doin FTC on steaks? Bad idea?

Do the chicken first and then throw on the steaks. Chicken can be held and even reheated if necessary. ;;)Every day is a bonus day and every meal is a banquet in Winter Springs, Fl !

I've never FTC'ed steak and probably wouldn't. I'd agree with @GrannyX4 and do the chicken first. Your other options are to get a 2nd egg or have KFC deliver some chicken for your wife.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

Another option is instead or reverse sear, do a Trex style. Sear the steaks, and while they are resting for 20 minutes, you can lower the temp of the Egg to 400, throw on the chicken and then the steaks to finish. You may be able to get it all done at the same time.

You can FTC anything, but steaks, cooked hot on the outside, will keep on cooking if you FTC. I'd let them cool down on the outside for a while, then FTC them when the outside cools down to the inside temp and throw them back on the egg right before serving.

I like to hottub steaks and then just quick sear. About 45 mins in 115-120 degree water for every 3/4 of an inch. Then a quick sear to finish. Best steaks and you don't really have to hold them just finish and serve.

You could beer cooler sous vide the steaks and then just sear them on the egg when you're ready to serve them. I'd put them in 130F water for an hour or so.
