TREX steak animal style
I cooked my Birthday steak last Saturday. It was a 24 oz porterhouse. I had the butcher cut it to 1 1/2 inches thick. Worked the BGE medium into a lava frenzy; bellowing the coals like Dante's Inferno. Prepared the meat with salt/pepper & garlic rub. Smothered with spicey brown musturd and sprayed with olive oil. Then I threw that puppy right in the fire. 2 minutes aside. Nice pyrotechnics. Rested 20 minutes. Put the grill back on the BGE and cooked @ 400 till med rare.[p]Fantastic. Thanks TRex for your inspired way of cookin!

Ken from CAL,[p]Did you get good carmelization? I have tried the Trex method but prefer the 3-3-4 method of "dwelling in the shell," mainly because I get one very nicely charred side. But I've wondered whether I really hit nuke temps for the initial sears with the Trex method. Thought?

JK,[p]I usually have no problem getting a good char searing at > 750F with the dome open. Plenty of flames, plenty of heat. If the char is not enough for you, just lengthen your sear time and shorten your "roast" time (after the 20 minute rest).[p]TRex

TRex,[p]You're probably right. I have a difficult time getting my small to that temp...or maybe I'm just not patient enough? Next time I'll shoot for true lava and give it another shot. There are so many fans of your method I probably didn't get it right. Thanks.
