    What were the steps to create that beautiful piece of meat! Did you roast indirect at some point?

    I fill a charcoal chimney with lump, light it, and let it sit for about 15 minutes. 

    I dump it in the egg, trying to keep it on one half of the egg.  Essecntioally I want a Hot side, and Not so hot side...

    Adjust the vents to something around 275, place the steak on the cool side. Close the dome.

    Flip after 5 minutes, check internal temp after 8 minutes and take it off the egg when it hits 100-105. Tent the steak with foil. 

    Open the egg's vents to get it to NUKE HOT... (Around 650-750)

    Place the steak on the hot side,and sear it for about 60 seconds on each side...

    Enjoy.

    I did a reverse sear on a flank steak. I tenderized it with a meat tenderizer, marinated it with a carne asada marinate, and carne asada seasoning. I did reverse sear on a Himalayan Salt Block at 350 till internal temp hit 130 then I cheated but through it on my gas grill at about 650-700 for 30 seconds each side. It was delicious and soon juicy.

    Reverse sear was an enlightening moment my first time using it. It was a rib roast. Turned out fantastic. Edge to edge MR.
