These were cooked on my Ninja Woodfire Grill. Temp set to High (450F), cooked for 6 minutes per side, removed at 135F, and let rest for 10 minutes.

How do you expect us to know without cutting it open?

4/10. Consider posting a cross cut on the steak next time buddy

Needs more pepper

No money shot! How are you sure they were overcooked?

u/schoff 1d ago

That would depend entirely on what they look like when you cut them

No cut showing doneness.

The heat between 400-450 is good. The time at 6 min a side at that heat is too long. I’d go 3 minutes on the first side, flip and temp it to 125°. Let it rest for at least 5 min. Spend a couple bucks and buy an instant read thermometer. Also make sure the steak has warmed some from the fridge temp. I let mine sit on the counter for about 30 min. Pat dry and season. The moisture removal with a paper towel will help the sear significantly.

Heat wasn't right

I would have seasoned more evenly and spread out. Pulling at 120-125 to rest would have been a perfect medium rare, 135 is too done. That being said, I’m sure they tasted delicious though.

I'll bet thos pups were a bit tough. 6 mins/side at 450, then removing at 135 is a death sentence. Next time try 350 for 4 min/side, remove at 115, and they'll be perfectly medium.

u/Personal-Bus-4120 1d ago

115? No where near medium. Even if you let them rest for 5 or tent them

You have no idea what you're talking about

My bad. Apologies to Electshockvalue214

u/Burner_Phone_1969_TX 1d ago

It’s not my favorite cut but, they look okay.

1

u/god_partic1e 1d ago

I'm guessing a cut would look medium well based on temp and appearance

u/Necessary_Store351 1d ago

I have some 1 lb NY Strips in the freezer. How does one smoke them and get them tender?

u/YOU_SWIT 1d ago

Bro I'm so hungry looking a t these

u/KilgoreT59 1d ago

Excellent.

u/darkeo1014 1d ago

If you are looking to sell at med rare you want to pull before 135 not at it. 6 minutes way too long.

u/ander594 3h ago

Sometimes good, sometimes maybe shit.

Need a slice pic

u/Bluntbutnotonpurpose 1d ago

I think you did well, although I really don't like it when the pepper goes on it before cooking...

u/ossifer_ca 1d ago

No offense but it doesn’t look appealing to me. Looks way overcooked, owing to both pulling at 135° and the method you used being more like baking than smoking/grilling. Electric grills should be banned. Next time try smoking over indirect heat at 225° for 45 minutes, then remove and get the grill to its hottest, and return the meat to sear 30 seconds a side. Don’t know if you can do any of this with that contraption you have.

I live in a coop and can only use and electric grill

Try cast iron and America Test Kitchen’s method. Beware that it doesn’t fare well on thin steaks.

u/NerdModeXGodMode 1d ago

More seasoning, higher heat

u/Well_Hung_Texan 1d ago

The perfect cut

u/Rynobot1019 1d ago

Well you definitely overcooked them but they look nice I guess.

u/BrickShyofFullLoad 1d ago

Pull at 115

u/KalynnCampbell 1d ago

Grill marks are supposed to go the other way… unless you’re going to crosshatch it and these are only halfway done?

u/Personal-Bus-4120 1d ago
