    Feel is a better indicator then temp. The temp can vary widely between select, choice, prime, Waygu and Waygu Gold. However if I just had to snatch a number out of the air, it would be right around 197, give or take a little either way. The exception to this being Waygu Gold. Again, I never go by temp. Never.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    When it is probe tender, I stop watching the temp once it hits 190*

    Okay - I'm all in with a buck $2.80 or a nickel 95.  Seriously as above, and enjoy the results.  Only slice when ready to consume as it will dry-out before your eyes.

    Rest it! If you slice it at 200 it will curl up and dry out before your eyes! Wrap it in foil or butcher paper or whatever but you have  to let the internal temp drop! I use 140 degrees internal temp for serving but some folks use different temps. The important thing to remember here is "let it rest" !
