It's easier for me to post a video than to have to write the story and list all the pics individually.
I finally remembered how to get the video up. Not the best quality, but you'll get the idea of how the cook went. The sound level was good until the steak hit the skillet, the mic was facing the skillet, so that's what you hear. I did this with the old Flip Video.
B T W, notice that the "edge-to-edge" effect was not compromised with a sear before and a sear after the bath.
