They were incredible. Best steaks I have ever cooked. All the tips from my instructor and this thread really paid off. In fact, my adult daughter said it was the best steak she had ever had.

Thanks everyone.

I don't care if its a myth or not. I don't have the patience to wait an extra 5

While the steaks rest, the proteins within it will relax and do a better job of holding onto the steak’s juices

7/8 of my steak can rest while I start eating the other 1/8.

Surprised at how many people go grill to plate and instantly eat a steak

I go to 140 on my thermopop and the kosher salt is the key.

If you like your steak medium, pull it off at 130
