600* soapstone for a ripping hot sear on both sides in avocado oil, pressed with a weight, dome open. Transferred to gas grill over indirect heat until perfect medium inside. Crunchy crust, pink middle…perfect NY strips.

    That might be the perfect crust.

    How long did you sear each side?

    Gotta try this technique next.

    You do this backwards and it’ll reduce that Grey band by 90%

    Reverse sear with this technique 👌

    You have to put the soapstone on a grill grate or it will crack the way you have it now. I know from experience.

  4. Those plates have lead in the stenciling. You probably shouldn’t be using them

    Thought you had a comically large grill press for a minute there. Took me too long to realize this was a jr.
