SRF Wagyu flat iron steak

30th anniversary of our first date - 28th anniversary of our engagement. The dear wife has a very demanding job and in this Covid environment it's been far more demanding than usual. We both wanted/needed a break. Plan A: get out of town for a night or two - stay in nice hotel, have some nice meals. Both are too busy. Plan B: stay home and get out to a nearby very good restaurant. Snow storm cancelled that. Plan C: yesterday, I pulled an SRF WAGYU Flat Iron steak from the freezer (part of a holiday package received last week). I also slipped out of the house last night and picked up a Stag's Leap Artemis, a Maker's Mark 46, and a bouquet of flowers.
Getting to the point - thawed the steak. It was perfectly trimmed and had a great fresh beef smell. Given that there are just the two of us, I cut the 1.9# steak in half - with the thicker half for tonight. Suckle Busters 1836 w some additional course ground black pepper. Egg was 500-600, grate lowered right down on the coals. 30-35 seconds per flip - 2 exposures on each side.
Wife loved it. I think I treated this great piece of beef with proper respect. Very tender and flavorful.
Cheers, y'all!

Thanks to all for the kind comments. That was our first experience with anything labeled Wagyu - I'm a bit worried that my wife loved it as much as she did - did I create a new celebration standard? Hope not!
Oh, I forgot to mention that I also made a sweet potato pie. @JohnInCarolina a tip of the hat to your grandmother, while I didn't follow her recipe, I did review it to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything (vanilla extract) and I used her baking time and temp.Uh, if you look close at the photo you can see the cut line - my slab and my wife's sliver... Love that stuff!Maryland, 1 LBGE -
