Best dang steak ever cooked off the Egg

So shoot me, I didn't use the Egg tonight.  Local butcher had some nice looking Prime bone in ribeyes.  Total weight for 2 steaks was 2 2/3 pounds.  Vac sealed and into the Sous Vide for just under 2 hours at 134.  Using my little butane camp stove (I know, I could have used the Egg, but it's hot out and this was easy) I got the CI smoking hot.  Seasoned heavily with Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish spice (it's not just for fish) and into the CI for 2 minutes a side.  These turned out perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, cut it with a fork, melt in your mouth delicious. I didn't get a plated pic, but I did manage to snap one of what was left over before my son and I sucked the bones clean.

    Hot CI for the win.  However you get there is all that matters.  Great result.

    Looks great. My experience with Sous Vide has been less than steller. Technically the steaks I have done have been cooked to perfection, however they are lacking in flavor that I get cooking the steak entirely on the egg.

    Maybe the secret is seasoning that you used. I will try it your way next time.
    Your looks great........

    Looks great. My favorite part of bone-in ribeyes is chewing on the bones.

    Without a doubt, there's some serious flavor there.

    The bone is the sweetest part of the steak.....and one I always work on when finished. I don't give a d@mn if I am in the nicest restaurant in the world....I am going to pick it up and work the bone. Nice job.

    Those look great TJ.  If I am cooking sous vide with a cast iron finish I don't bother lighting the egg either. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    My wife looks at me oddly when we do bone-in items and I gnaw on the bone.  I thought she thought it was hot, but apparently it's another item that I gross her out about.

    I think this may be a first that I agree with DMW!

    There's more than one way to skin a cat, I like the looks of those steaks and bones... I'm not "in" on this inside joke, but maybe you should've posted a dirty fork pic too..... maybe????

    Great looking steaks.  I have never used the red fish on steaks before, but I do like the blackened steak magic on steaks and burgers.
