SRF black thin flat iron-perfect thickness for the cook:
Side one on the lump:

And the flip:

Getting dark and crusty. Meteorite.

And the required $$$ shot:

Yes, the crust is what makes any caveman finish worth the challenge.  
Go for it!

    Looks just great!  On the fun factor scale, this is my #1 for the Egg.

    Great cook and post.  I love doing this when I am hosting folks I don't know very well.  It livens up the conversation.

    How long per side? I did a ribeye last week for 30 seconds each side after indirect IT of 125 and it was righteous. Never have done one strictly caveman.

    Regarding time per side, I went about 90 seconds per flip and hit each side twice so about  3 minutes total per side.  Hi speed instant read thermo for the win.  Thin cuts are great for the full caveman.  For anything greater than a good inch thick the reverse sear and cavemen finish (as you did) achieves the crust.

    Love it! It’s funny…when I do events and do some caveman searing, I always ask the crowd, “Remember the days when you accidentally dropped some of your food on the coals and had to throw it away? Now watch this…”! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
