    My turn for a true reverse seared steak

    Following Huskee's lead. I am also reverse searing a monster chunk of beef tonight. I have a bone in strip weighing in at 2 lbs. it is 2" thick, 21 day dry aged prime.

    I just purchased the gourmet grate system for my Weber kettle with the sear insert. will be using that tonight. I fully chimney of coal right below the sear plate should get that to a good 600°. Will do the reverse sear staring with 250° indirect to 125. Then load up the sear grate and hot coals to preheat. Will be posting pics of the process.

    My new grate

ID:	24898 The final product. It is time I break out the DSLR for food pics. Phone camera doesn't cut it at all. My after shots are no where near Huskees'. The grate was a total success. I think it was my best steak to date. Sorry didn't get a sliced or plated pics. We had some friends over and the wife started making some funny noises when I was going to take a pic while eating

        That's a good looking sear! I gotta hold back on a medal without a cut pic of the inner meat, but by all measures it looks like you ate well tonight

          Thanks for the thought. I sure did eat good. Tomorrow to celebrate my long weekend I am doing a big spread, Pastrami style brisket, chicken, country ham on the mini and the kettle. Should have good pics of that including a final plated pic

        I cannot find anywhere how long approximately to do a 1 1/2 inch steak at 225 to reach 115 degrees. Can someone give some insight please?

          Welcome sir. I would estimate 45 min or thereabouts. Maybe 35, maybe 55. I've never timed it but this is what I'm leaning toward.

        Welcome to The Pit! I'd plan for 50 minutes for the meat to get to 115F. This assumes we're talking about 225F of convective heat. You start mixing in radiative or conductive heat and things could speed up some.

        Have you read the thermodynamics of cooking article? How to sear a steakhouse steak article?

        When you have a minute please read my welcome letter and tips posts. Tip #1 will help you fill out your signature. Once we know what equipment you have and a bit more about yourself we'll be able to help more.
