Monday Night Steak

Didn't have the best start to the week at work so I spoiled myself with a steak last night.  Kept it simple and seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic before searing it at about 650.  I got good grill marks by my standards and consistent color throughout.

    Great looking money shot! @lousubcap is really restraining himself here. I know he loves a good money shot.

    For sure.  The money shot tells the final chapter of the cook.

    was that just a sear flip sear done? that came out incredibly even

    Looks great. I need to cook a lot more steaks.
    Grill marks are excellent.

    You did that really well. The close up of the cross section is one of the very best I've seen for a steak,

    Isn't it great to have an Egg to even out a crappy workweek start?

    Yea I tried doing most of the searing with the lid open and then when I flipped the last time snuffed out the fire and let it ride for a bit to bring up the internal temp. 

    Honestly I think I just got lucky it turned out so well.  I have done reverse sear and sous vide cooks that haven't cooked that even.  It also helped that it was such a thick steak.

    Thank you.  It was a personal best for me.  Almost brought a tear to my eye
