275 degree in oven. Approximately 20 minutes due to thickness of steak. Hot grill, seared for approximately one minute, rotated to get cross match marks for another minute. Flipped steak over, cooked for approximately one minute,

Set steak on plate and let it rest for approximately 6 minutes before slicing.

Just as easy, if not easier than sous vide and cooked to my liking. Deliciousness.

Is that a filet? It's big. Looks good. Try 225 instead of 275 just for the heck of it

Looks good. I love a big arse filet. I agree with whoever said try 225 instead of 275 when you have time. Reverse sear is damn near impossible to beat on a filet.

Definitely try a lower cooK temp. Lower the better but 225 is very slow for a thick cut. I typically do 250.

Also - not sure if it’s right or wrong - but when I learned to reverse sear, I was told to let rest before searing.

Agreed if a fatty piece such as ribeye. For a lean cut like filet you are only trying to take to temp. Going low like that won't make much of a difference as you're not trying to melt the marbling.

The reason for this is so that you don't have to rest it after the sear. If you do it on a grill, you can cook it slowly to temp, remove the steak and let it rest while the grill is heating up to searing temps. Then put your steak on for a quick sear and when it comes off, it's ready to eat.
