USDA Prime Certified Angus Surf and Turf

Picked up a USDA Prime Angus NY Strip at a new butcher. Got some shrimp from the local Farmer's Market. Steak seared 90 seconds per side then rested 20 minutes. Shrimp devained then tossed in olive oil and Old Bay seasoning.

Look at that marbling!

Not the biggest steak I ever cooked, but this is definitely quality over quantity. 18oz.

Ribeye Steak

Picked up a little bone in ribeye from the Butcher. Seared at about 1800 degrees for 90 seconds per side. Then let the steak rest inside for 20 minutes, then back on the Egg at 375 degrees until internal temp reached 130. Took 34 minutes.

Wildfire Filets

As a gift, I got some of the most awesome filets. These are from Wildfire Steakhouse in Chicago. Easiest thing I've cooked in a long time. Got the egg up to about 850 degrees, and seared for 90 seconds per side. Then let the filets rest for 15 minutes and back on the Egg at 400 degres until internal temp of 130ish. Pefect! Went great with garlic bread to soak up all the juice.

Pork Chops

Pork chops, one of my favorites. Cheap, easy, and tasty as can be!

I sear around 800 degrees for 90 seconds per side, then finish off at 350-400ish (whatever the Egg feels like stabilizing at) until internal temp 160 degrees.

I like big chops...

Here's some smaller chops with veggie kabobs
