At what temp do you pull your steak?

Before I got a thermapen or other meat thermometers, I always used the poke test: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/the_finger_test_to_check_the_doneness_of_meat/

129 or so for me, family is around 134. I pull it at whatever temp anyone else wants it for theirs. I like mine reddish and still juicy, and I don't force others to like it the way I do. I would be pissed if someone took it to 160 for me and told me its better that way.

Reverse sear I'm pulling in the 115 - 118 range for me and the boys and let the wife's get to mid 120's before pulling hers. Then, rest and sear down low. Perfect every time for us. The resting part is key as I found early on I was searing way too soon after my initial pull and my temp would rise more than my target. My first response was to pull at a lower temp....like 110 or less and then sear. That was ok but then one time, by accident, it took me longer than normal to get them back on to sear and they were under my target. That is when it hit me that the rest period played a key role and I have gone back to my higher temp pulls, a good rest, and then onto sear and haven't looked back.
For thinner steaks I go direct down low and flip and flip until I like the color and just pull without measuring temp now. I generally end up in the low 120s and mid 130s for the wife.Joe - I'm a reformed gasser-holic aka 4Runner Columbia, SC Wonderful BGE Resource Site: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramicfaq.htm and http://www.nibblemethis.com/ and http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/recipes.html
