So with a little help from Reddit, I didn't want to spend too much on my first device. I ended up with the Ink Bird ISV-W200 1000WATT and a decent bath bucket from Everie.
Added hot tap water
Salt and pepper the steaks and sealed
129 for 2 hours
Ice Bath for 30 minutes
Weber 22" Performer Deluxe
Grill Grates at nearly 1000F
1 minute, flip, 1 minute, flip, 1 minute, flip, last minute, flip. 4 mins total.
Final temp was 136F
Turned out pretty good 😊
Thanks for all the guidance!

How do you get your Webber so hot? I’m struggling with this part of the process
why did you add hot water to the steaks…?!?!
I have those same grates but turn em upside Dow to get more surface area browning
Nice fire.
Gotta unleash the fires of hades to get a good sear.
Many people here preach “hotter is better” for a sear but unfortunately what you’ve done here is burn/carbonize grill marks onto your meat without actually getting much of a sear. While it looks nice, it would taste much better if you removed the grates until just before you put the meat on so it will be seared by the radiant heat from the coals without burning from conduction from the grates.
The metal that the meat goes on needs to be under 500F or so or you will just get bitter, burnt meat.
