Do most of you guys rev the egg up to 700+ degrees and then sear the steak? After the sear and a flip of the steak do you just choke the egg down for a few mins. and then remove. I guess I'm asking how/temps/times do y'all use. Thanks for the help
ps. I went and got the maverick thermometer thanks for the info. on that

    Don't Egg me on,[p]As the other responders have said: the Trex method is king for steaks IMHO.[p]A quick summary if you're in a hurry:[p]Thicker is better for this method
    Season according to thickness (thicker=more seasoning)
    -salt, pepper, a little mustard, a little Olive oil
    Sear at 700+ 90-120 seconds a side
    take off egg let rest for up to 20 mins
    get egg down to 400ish
    finish on 400deg egg 2-4 mins a side.[p]What the product should look like is a seared crust with a perfectly pink interior which is the same color all the way through. Amazing steaks.

    CT Grillguy,[p]Forgot the most important part!![p]Let the meat sit out for an hour before you cook it. Very important.

    how long have you had your egg i was thinking that i read you were a new owner! if you are DO NOT GET YOUR EGG OVER 400deg. you could toast your gasket!!!![p]
    if i am wrong sorry for the inconvience but no one had said anything in the post's [p]if you have had your egg for awhile try the Trex method others have suggested[p][p]

    Don't Egg me on,
    i am sorry to say i would put the steak in the freezer because IMHO you can't cook a steak with out going above 400deg.
    grill some burgers or chicken i never had the problem some have had but i have heard some real horror stories about getting a "new" egg real hot...[p]if you do grill the steak just think how much better the next one will be when you can actually do some SEARING!!![p]
    sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    BENTE,
    I have had my Egg for 1 week. I performed several cooks all at under four hundred degrees. The second day I had my egg it was at 300 degrees for about 12 hours. I performed my first T-Rex ribeye's last night, the fifth time to light the lump, and it was perfect. I had zero problems with my gasket. Several people here recommend that the gasket be seasoned before a high temp burn, but there is no guideline on how many cooks that should be. Good luck and enjoy.

    Specularius,
    that's right there is no protocall for how many cooks. last time i replaced my gasket (hit old one with pizza peel) i ran my egg for several times with nothing in it 350 for sevral hours. let it cool all the way down then do it again. but i'm glad to hear your steak was everything you anticipated.

    happy eggin

    Don't Egg me on,
    I just finished eating two ribeye's. Before I put the meat on the Egg, I salt,some pepper and garlic powder on the steaks. Put them into a freezer bag for a few hours. This will allow the seasoning to somewhat get into the meat. Get the egg to 500 degrees direct. Just before putting the meat on the Egg, I coat them with Zatarian blackend seasoning. This stuff has great flavor. Put the meat on for 30 seconds to get the blackening going, flip the meat and let it go until side down is blackened. Turn steak until other side is blackened. Take the steak off at that point and it will be medium to medium rare. Total cooking time about eight minutes. [p]Chef Jerry

    Jwirlwind,
    Gasket.
    In my opinion, I don't see any cook that needs to be any higher than 500 degrees. I have had my Egg just over five years and still have a tight original gasket. [p]Chef Jerry

    Jwirlwind,[p]I concur--totally! In 13 years I've never seen temps higher than 500 or 550 degrees and only replaced the gasket once on my large. That was simply due to age.

    Jwirlwind,[p]Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to try your recipe next time I egg a steak since I have already covered these in mustard.
