I picked up some nice fillets that are about 1 3/4 thick. Would TREXing be preffered or cooked to desired temp at a lower temperature? Thoughts?

those would be perfect for a t-rex treatment....exactly 90 seconds per side at 750+. ..give em a 20 minute rest on a plate uncovered at room temps, then back in the egg at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes per side until they hit 125 internal temps (keep a close eye on em). ..treat em first with a little olive oil and either simple salt and pepper or some dizzy pig cowlick or raising the steaks rub.. ..good stuff!!

Thanks Max! You've saved the day yet again..

definatly trex, i wrap in bacon, not so much for the flavor but because it holds the steak upright and together
fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
i did these filet's at 450 for about 7 mins on each side...they were a good 2" thick, though.

Randy - good looking steak!! I often skip the extra work and do mine at 450 the same way.

thanks! those filet's looked too good and i was too scared to try the whole 700 degree thing...maybe next time.
hope all is well in austin. hope you have a couple of umbrellas... -
That extra 20 minutes is just too long to wait when you have a FM staring you in the face!
