You did a fine job on that steak. Looks perfect. I'm becoming sold on the reverse sear.

Bought two ribeyes yesterday, cooked one via normal method.

I know how I'm cooking the second one.

is it that much better than getting the grill up to 700+ (on an egg) and cooking it to medium rare?

The intent of this method is that you can cook your steak precisely to the done-ness of your liking throughout, then sear at the end for a nice char. No chance of over- or under-cooking since you are bringing it exactly to medium rare nice and slowly. You could do it on your egg as well.

Thanks. looks fantastic. as soon as I have my new grill installed when they finish my kitchen, this is likely the first thing I try to do. I'm thinking a cowboy ribeye.

Did you flip that sucker at all during the indirect process?
How many beers must be consumed to cook this perfectly?
I'll probably try this in my oven soon since I don't have a grill with controllable temps.
However, I am a fan of the sear then oven method. But this just looks so damn good.

No flipping until the sear stage.

Did you have a thermometer in the meat cooking?

That steak looks exactly like mine does when I cook it sous vide. Excellent work!

Looks awesome

1 hour is a long time to wait on a steak but the results sure do look good.

If you go oven, then sear, your crust on the outside is better because the outside of the steak is much drier when you do the sear. This gives you a crunchy crust and super moist inside.

If you do the sear first, the steak is still moist on the outside and moisture slows the searing process.

Let me know how it goes. The key is bringing it up to the correct temp slowly and then letting it rest before you sear it. This gives you a nice crunchy crust and then even temp from edge to edge. Cutting the steak open was amazing, and the flavor/tenderness was off the charts.
