    Mop,[p]Good luck with it. I have a meeting this evening right after work so I wont be able to post but will be interested to see how things work out. Just a note, I've never tried this method with a sear and dwell, I always cook my steaks direct over a relatively moderate heat, like 350 or so. Dont know if it would make a difference but I did want to let you know.[p]Go for it and get ready for some good eats.[p]Troy

    Troy,
    The sear & dwell method works well with the olive oil rub. I use it nearly everytime! Makes beautiful marks on the steaks too![p]Dr. C

    Dr. Chicken,[p]Good to see ya Doc, I just took a quick look in here before calling it a night. Thats good to know about the sear and dwell even though I dont cook my steaks that way, I know most people here do. You're as much a part of this olive oil steak thing as I am, I definitely want to give credit where credit is due, I just answered a few questions one time about how I cooked my steaks. [p]I'm still trying to fight off this darn flu. I was great this morning and then I went to the career day that our local High School puts on. We put up a little display and talk to the kids about our careers etc. Great thing they do and glad to participage. I got back still feeling OK but now I'm really starting to fade, just absolutely NO energy at all and ache all over. But, this too shall pass. I have a few leftover burgers from last night that will serve as dinner for the family and then its off to the couch with the paper. Have a good "day" at work, talk to you soon.[p]Troy

    Dr. Chicken, I`m going to use my "mesh" grate for the steaks..
    I`m as we speak running the egg way up in temp to clean the grate due to the last cook, when it`s cleaned off I`ll close it down enough to get my 350º and being the egg was so hot I should be able to get some nice marks at the same time ....I hope....[p]Mop[p]

    Mop, after getting tips from Sprinter and then Dr Chicken himself who put Spinter onto the olive oil idea for steaks I bought two beautiful New York strips on Monday for egging this Saturday night. I immediately slattered them real good with an olive oil that has roasted garlic in it. I then wrapped them individually and then sealed them into a plain plastic bag in the frig. Waitin 'em out til Saturday!

    one feral kat,[p]Don't you get almost the same effect by marinating in wishbone dressing? Maybe some extra undesired spices and herbs, but about the same oil effect? I am going to try your method with olive oil also.
