Took the leap today and reverse seared a filet mignon, then did a little butter/pan sauce/blue cheese topper. 

Man what have I been missing out on!

    More and more I am becoming convinced that lower temperatures give me a lot of forgiveness on timing when steaks will be done.

    I really like bringing a couple of steaks to 125º, let them rest all squishy and inedible looking while the egg comes up from 250 to 500º... then tell my wife "3 minutes" and fire one of those puppies to 140 and the other to 150 and bring them inside.

    She does the hard work of salad, but thinks I'm doing the hard part.

    Great looking dinner you got there @joeybrown105

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.
