Been fighting a head cold for a couple of days and since I don't teach classes on Tuesdays decided to break in my Grill Grates. I set my Blaz'n Grid Iron to 350°, then bumped it to 400° for the actual cook; Grill Grates hit 537° in just over five minutes from the preheat state per my handy dandy laser thermometer.
I picked up some really pretty CAB boneless ribeyes at a local meat market. Simple homemade rub, a little Worcestershire sauce, and some canola oil and it was off to the races.
Four minutes per side and my Thermoworks had it at 131°.
Let it rest for 10 minutes and then it’s time for a pretty damn good weekday meal. Those little Green Giant Steamer packs are perfect for a quick and easy side (Red Potatoes and Green Beans in Butter Sauce).
The Grill Grates are pretty awesome, I'm not going to lie. I left the full heat deflector in the Blaz'n (I didn't purchase the separate searing with half-size deflector) and I think it performed beyond my expectations with the Grill Grates. I did have a bit of an issue with temp consistency from front to back, but that's easy enough to solve with a simple rotation of the steak at the flip.
