Reverse sear, caveman.

Because, hey, why not? Turned out very good. Reverse sear is the way to go. As I was taking off the plate setter to bump up the temp for the sear, I noticed the nice clean bed of coals, let them come up a bit in temp and just plopped the nice sized sirloin right on the lump. Called an audible if you will. A couple of minutes on each side, no lump stuck and it was delicious.

Strong work. Great audible. Love the flavor of cavemen steaks.

Looks great, I'd like to try caveman but too chicken to screw up a chunk of beef.

Probably would have been a better sear if I had let the lump get hotter, more glowing coals, etc...so lesson for next time.
