    Like @DMW said, depends on how thick. The ones I do are usually around an inch thick, and I do them at 400-450 until around 140 IT.

    Around inch or so, I'd go hot and fast direct (450*-500*), flipping every minute or so until 140* like @jeffwit mentioned.

    And do you let them sit until internal temp is 145 or do you eat them undercooked?

  • They will keep cooking after you pull them off the egg. Nothing to worry about. They will go up a few degrees.

    When cooking hot and fast, they will rise 5* easy by the time you get them to the table and cut into them.
