Title: NY Strip Steak at 275°
Post by: Bar-B-Lew on June 05, 2018, 02:55:06 PM
Cooked it for one hour and it was at 145° when I pulled it.  No searing as my grill is a mess and would have certainly been a grease fire.  I am OK without the sear as I have been cooking steaks this way for last few years although not for everybody.  It is almost set and forget for me at that temp which is what I like about it.

ZCZ has been tempting me with photos of those Memphis unseared steaks and now you're adding to it with that beauty.  I may have to quit reading your posts.   :)

Tempted to buy a Memphis or to cook a steak for a longer period of time at a low temp?

I flip back and forth on it...but it is no doubt a great way to cook a steak!

That looks excellent Lew.  I would bet more flavor infused into the meat that way than my usual sear at 550/600.  I will definitely have to try it.

Doing asparagus with the steak. Usually put them on the last 5 minutes when doing steaks at 600.
Will take a guess and put them on with about 10-15 minutes to go.

The cut more toward the center of the steak. My iPhone tends to accentuate reds so it was not quit this red.

The flavor was very good with much more smoke flavor than I get with the fast & furious method. Also seemed more moist and more tender than F & F.  I liked the “pace” of this cook. Very much a “set it & forget it” method as Lew says. Doing them at 600 can be a mad scramble at times.

Two thumbs up to your method Bar-B-Lew!!

Meal looked great.  Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.  Hopefully, your guests enjoyed it too.  In addition to it being a very simple cook, I enjoyed the flavor.  pretty sure you could not replicate on something other than a pellet grill.  To me, it is the Ronka version of a set it and forget it steak.  Doesn't have the crust layer that some prefer, but the flavor and tenderness met my expectations.
