Cooking Steaks FYI

Found this on a web site. Probably nothing new but here it is.
Grilling – Outdoor
1. Steaks should always be at room temperature before they are cooked. Remove your steaks from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Preheat grill to maximum temperature.
3. Rub both sides of the steaks with coarse kosher or sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
4. Place the steaks 3 to 5 inches from the flame to sear the outside and seal in the juices.
5. Sear the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
6. After the steaks have been seared on both sides, remove from heat, and brush both sides with extra virgin olive oil. This will help form the crust that adds the touch of perfection.
7. Return the steaks to heat and cook on both sides to a desired doneness using the timing suggestions in the chart below. If using a gas grill, reduce the heat to moderately hot to hot. Or, use indirect cooking for gas, charcoal, or wood-fired grills and move the steaks to the warm side of the grill.
8. Transfer the steaks to dinner plates or a platter and let rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Don't forget searing time= 1 minute per side per inch of thickness. (Mad Max? Naked Whiz? don't remember who's rule that is but it works!)
1" thick steak would be seared for 1 minute ea side. 1.5" steak would be 90 seconds per side, etc.
If you hot tub it first, you may need no further cooking after the sear.
If you do the reverse sear or reverse TRex, you roast it first and sear at the end to finish. -
Don't give him too much information! He's already pretty confused!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Nope, not me. I sear for as long as it takes to get the sear I want. Usually 2-3 minutes per side.The Naked Whiz

A couple days ago I saw a pod cast from Cook’s Illustrated where they explained how to cook the perfect steak. They proceeded to explain the reverse TRex procedure!

Al, with his PRIME dry aged porterhouse! I got a pic but not a taste

-
Whiz- at what temp for 2-3 minutes?
(at 700 mine blackens up pretty quick). -
You should have traded the beer.

I don't worry about the temp. I just want a hot hot hot fire for searing. Probably a minimum of 700.The Naked Whiz
