@mclaincausey Awesome! Thank you for the info. My wife is really good at cooking steaks in a pan on the stove. She has done that method, I have never tried. And neither of us have experience with charcoal grilling. Being able to do that level of grilling a steak is our dream! Haha

@Danimal506 If you ever happen to come across Jealous Devil charcoal briquettes or the hardwood,I highly recommend both. Their XLMax briquettes are the best. Home Depot carries them,as well as others.

My go to kettle accessorie is the vortex. About to put some steaks on right now. I can go low and slow and then have a hot spot to sear. Biggest bonus is I don’t have to listen to my wife complaining about a cast iron skillet that is filthy, although the best steaks I’ve ever had came out of cast iron. These are 95% as good.

128 after slow cook and sear. Resting will get a bit higher temp.

Sliced and ready. I grew up eating meat grey, the way my parents cooked. Met my wife and every time I grilled for her family everything was overdone. Finally got a Thermapen and asked everyone what temp do you want. I’m a rare guy now.

Agree fully.
And understand the “too much work” thing too @seawolf ; I am the same way about steak. Just don’t want to do them inside. I also don’t want to fire up my Komodo unless it’s a long cook. So what I was describing happens on my gas grill. Low and slow on the grill, then while I’m resting the steaks I turn it up all the way with a skillet on.
One of my favorite indoor methods I adapted from Serious Eats many years ago. Basically the idea is to heat your oven to 500F with a cast iron skillet in it and then cook the steak in that hot skillet. I can’t remember if he suggested this part of it I added it, but I would put the hot pan with the steak right under the broiler to impersonate a salamander for a couple of minutes each side. It worked well but was extraordinarily messy and fills the house with smoke because our hood is terrible.

@Jett129 Rhank you for the tip, I will look for those!
This is what I used tonight. I liked them a lot. We made burgers. I ate them too fast to take a good picture lol I’m just happy they aren’t burnt…

@Sage954 Ramsay himself couldn't cook a more perfect temp! Looks great.
-
@Sage954 Love that cleaver! Steak looks perfect too!
I made this badboy (3kg dry aged Holstein ribeye) on sunday for my girlfriends coworkers get together.

It was lovely. I loved getting that nice crust and not smoking out the whole house with eau de boeuf.

@Tago-Mago And now I get to do it for fun!
-
@seawolf What sort of mitt do you use for handling the skillet when it’s on the grill?
-
@jat I really only needed to touch the pan twice, once to put it on the grill, and once to take it off, and I used my trusty fireplace gloves that I bought years ago when I was heating my home with a wood stove. They're insulated enough that I used to be able to pick up burning logs and move them around without any issues.
