      I prefer to reverse sear any thick cuts of meat.  Cook indirect at 225 until the internal temp gets to your desired temperature (I like to pull at 110-115), pull the plate setter and the meat, raise the temp to 550-600 and then sear both sides for 1 minute 30 seconds, turning 45 degrees every 45 seconds to get your cross hatched grill marks.

      Salt, pepper.  Throw in a ziploc bag and try to get out all the air.  Get a big pot - like 6-10 quarts and fill with hot tap water.  120F is ok.  Throw the bag in and let it sit in there for at least an hour.   Take out of bag, dry with a paper towel, season again and sear.  Cast iron is the best.

      Let steaks sit out of fridge for 30-45 min, salt and pepper, and grill directly at 325 until internal temp is 135-140. Let sit for a couple min and enjoy

      All three suggestion above produce great results in their own way.

      Add vote to the reverse sear camp!

      I'm still a fan of a regular sear.  Fire up the egg to 600-700.  Put the filet on for 2 minutes per side (feel free to rotate each minute for cross marks), then shut the egg down for approximately 4 minutes until you've reached your desired temp.
