Like I said above, I prefer to put the steak directly on the hot arse charcoal. Only works with lump though. Trust me on that one

Boil steak in milk. Add jelly beans before serving.

If using a skillet, what does it matter the heat source? Seems like waste of charcoal.

keep that steak moving at all times, slowly pushing it in a circular motion around the pan while applying pressure this will get you the most even, quickest, and best crust
Other than the improved results, can you expand why moving/pressing a sous vide steak during the sear works better? Releasing moisture so it doesn't steam the surface? Getting more heat to the surface, quicker? Other reason?

Did about a 2" thick strip last night. Olive oil, cracked pepper and salt. Med/high skillet for 5 minutes. Flipped and put in the oven at 425* for 5 minutes. Remove and rest while I wilted some spinach. Delicious medium rare.

I meant hopefully he wasn't putting it on the grill. Can't get a good sear there.

A benefit of putting a skillet on the grill rather than the stove is that the smoke is outside, not in your kitchen.

I have put a skillet on my primo before and got a great sear.

Right, cause you had the skillet.

Directly on the grill will just give you grill marks without a proper sear.

Heat a small skillet very hot (skillet should be just barely big enough for the steaks). Sear steaks (I prefer rib eyes) to desired doneness -- about 4 minutes a side usually does it for me. Remove and keep warm. In the skillet, add a little butter and saute some finely diced shallots. Add cognac and ignite. When the flames die down, add beef or chicken stock and Dijon mustard (creole mustard also works well). Add any liquid that has accumulated around the steaks. Whisk sauce to blend. Serve the sauce over the steaks and garnish with some chopped parsley.

My bad, I misunderstood what you were saying.

I'd only do this with fairly thin steaks.

Otherwise even going to medium rare inside, the outside edge is going to be past well done on a thick cut.

For thick cuts, reverse sear.

Valid point but it's never been a problem for me. I've never tried that method with a really thick steak but it works fine for something in the ~1-1/2" range. For a thick filet or something like that I could see it potentially being an issue.

But regardless of what method you use to cook the steaks, the sauce on this one is the key.

I just bought one of these for ~$30 to solve that problem. 12,000 BTU, gets my skillet plenty hot, and I can do it outside without smoking out my apartment.
