First time doing steaks on the egg

So I did my first steak tonight and it was good. It was about an 1.5" ribeye. I cooked it at 650 degrees 2min a side, flip, 2min and one more flip for 2min with the egg shut down. The pics don't look near as good as what most of y'all post but hey it was my first time and I'm still learning! Any tips, thoughts or advice would be nice!

Be careful closing the egg after cooking that high. When u open the lid again, if u don't open the dampers first, you will shoot a fireball about 4-8ft into the air. I kept my eyebrows, but lost most of the hair on my forearm. That was my second cook. Search for my thread on the importance of burping your egg!

steak on egg is great. caveman drunk n hungrymiddle of nowhere- G.I. NE

They are perfect! You're a natural.Besides the sear on a cast iron pan or plate (it chars the entire surface so evenly), I love what they call "caveman style." After the usual rubbing in the seasoning and patting it with olive oil, lay it on the bare glowing coals. To start with, I've arranged the coals to be level, and get them good and hot.Flip the steak on the other side. A coal or two might cling to the meat but just flick it off with your tongs.You can do this at the beginning or as a reverse sear at the end. I only bother with cooking it longer at lower temp if it's really thick. A nice char on the coals usually makes the center just pink enough for me.Judy in San Diego
