My butcher had NY strips on sale...half price. Had him cut a loaf with inch and one half thick chunks. I've, for some reason, had trouble with steaks. Fingers crossed. Poppers and turtle egg apps.

I find strips cook faster than sirloin or ribeye. Probably the one cut that I've accidentally overcooked more. Based on how we like 'em, medium rare is overcooked.

Little Steven said:Broken record here (or scratched cd) hot tub themFor strip loins (rib eyes, chops) we have used the "poor man's" hot tub, that is the reverse sear, which is sorta the exact opposite of a TRex.Indirect low and slow, 200-220 grid with your chosen rub and smoke. Take to an internal of of no more than 120. For 1-1/2" will take as much as 30 minutes or more. Pull and hold while you change set up for direct high heat (open the egg up), grid on fire ring (I usually put my plate setter right on my CI grid so when I remove the setter the CI grid is already pretty hot) - takes maybe 3 or four minutes. Return steaks, maybe 1 minute a side gives a nice browning on the already almost finishes steaks.The 30 minute low and slow allows the steak to take on more of the smoke and rub flavor, or so SWMBO says.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

To big for the trex method. Seared at 600...3 minutes per side. Took off, broandught down to 400 and finished at 135. Best I've cooked. Thick steaks are easier to me. Used my maverick probe to keep up with temp. Used DP raising the steaks...Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

I didn't realize until yesterday that the Maverick ET-732, which I picked up in August with my Egg, has probes that are rated to 700 degrees, vs the probes for the ET-73 which were rated to around 400 degrees. Sure makes doing a thick steak dummy proof.

I meant I didn't use my smaller grid directly on the fire as I do most of the time.
