First, you should cook at 300, not 250.

Second, you don't have a meat thermometer so you're going to have to go by touch. Disregard the reverse sear method because you're going to frick it up

So yeah I got a thermometer, did 300 degrees, took about 35 minutes. Sorry don't have pics (TD doesn't let you post from phone and I don't have an image account), but the color was perfect, medium rare all the way through.
However, the steaks weren't tender. I normally sear then broil and they always come out melt in your mouth.. Maybe I didn't let rest long enough for the thickness (a tad thicker than usual)? I'm not sure.
Beautiful looking steaks but too chewy. Anyone else experience this with the reverse sear? Or was this just another episode in my life of me fricking it up?

nah, you want the oven as low as possible. you're not cooking a roast, you're just getting the steak up to temperature. 300 is way too high.

Never put an oven at 300 if you are reverse searing, it defeats the entire purpose
