Fantastic tips! Thanks!

I have been a bit out of sorts lately because I had been doing most of my meats on a charcoal grill. Weber 22" to be specific (I swear by its versatility) and for most steak apps I would make a hot side and a "cool" side, sear both sides at about 6-700 degrees for 30 seconds to a minute depending on thickness and then move to the cool side and cover. After five minutes or so, do the finger test (took me way too long to realize tongs don't cut it in this regard) and flip again if necessary.

However, indoor cooking has made me think I don't know what I am doing on the proteins I used to grill but the tips you gave me give me hope. The coffee tip is something I am totally going to use.

BTW, is that a NY strip cut or something else?

Cheers!
B
