Saturday nights Strips

CigarCityEgger · August 2017

New York Strips were on sale at Publix, so SWMBO decided that was for dinner. Only my second attempt at steaks on the egg but definitely an improvement over the 1st batch.

Hoping the neighbors dont mind.

Pulled at 135(shooting for earlier, but these damn beers keep distracting me), came out to a nice medium. Paired with a baked sweet potato with brown shugga/buttah and a spinach salad.

Thanks for looking, hope everyone has a great weekend!

Jealous. I am jumping in with some unsolicited advice given you said you've only done steak on the egg twice so I take that as an invitation to share my favorite method.

I bring the egg direct up to about 800-900 degrees, I put the daisy wheel on when it first hits and the temp drops to about 500 within a minute as the thermometer was just being kissed by the fame and it's not really that hot. I remove the daisy wheel and let it come up again and by the second time you are actually very hot.

for about and inch and a half steak I do a 30-45 second sear, rotate 45 degrees for a another 30-45 seconds flip and repeat and take the steaks off the grill and close up the egg to something you'd use for about 200 degrees.

in about 30 minutes the egg will be somewhere between 350-450 depending on ambient temps, 400 is perfect but if you can't wait anything in that range is fine. Put the steak back on for three minutes per side and then let rest for 10 minutes for a perfect medium rare - medium (1.5" cut)

this is method makes the steaks look like they have been prepared sous vide as the color and doneness is perfectly even from charred crust to charred crust.

Love your view, and hope the neighbors don't figure out what's really going on
