Still hard to beat a filet

So I finally had a night to fire up the egg. Stopped by and picked up 2 filets. Hit them with olive oil, smoked salt & bullsh!t steak seasoning. Grilled at 600 degrees for 2 minutes on each side, them shut both dampers. Kept flipping the steaks every few minutes until they hit 135 degrees internal temp. My wife said it was the best steak she ever had. Thanks for looking!

    Aw man.  I just ate a whole rack of babybacks but if I was in the same room with that filet I'd chomp that down in a heartbeat.  Great cook.

    Nice looking meal.  How do you like the looflighter?  I've had one for about 3 years and love it.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    Filets are definitely a treat. Well done.

    The loftlighter is great. Probably my favorite accessory. It lights extremely fast, and you can precisely control the amount of heat you want. I strongly recommend it!

    Steak looks good. Can't go wrong with a nice chunk of meat.

    Careful with that sear and dwell method on fattier cuts, especially rib eye. The dying fire with dripping fat makes for a terrinle sooty smoke that has nowhere to go and can really foul the steak

    filets don't drip at all ('less you have bacon), so you can avoid that bad smoke thankfully. the charcoal isn't burning cleanly, which can mean some bad smoke. 

    One way to achieve the same thing is to toss in the platesetter and let it roast after searing.

    Thanks SmokeLife . Those look great!!!!  I had the same itch this week.  Picked up a 2 pack at our local Kroger.  They were great, but I like your method better.  Will have to give them another try over the holidays.  You BeefEaters have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!  (We raise those little bast@rds on our farm - Eat More Beef!!!!)

    Red Meat. I Love It. I think fat, is America's other white meat. If they made a red meat soda, I would drink it.
    Outstanding presentation, looks delicious.
