Those look great! They're perfectly medium rare. You pulled these at 104?

Did they arrive frozen or were they in cold packs without being frozen?

2-day delivery. Free if you order over $99. They were frozen solid.

Yeah, the filets were 104. The ribeye was a little thinner and was around 110-112. I then placed them on a cutting board and covered with foil for 10 minutes.

So I’ve alternated between high heat grilling and cast iron over the years but lately have leaned more towards the grill. For this experiment I did both. I cooked two filets and two ribeyes.

Did both of the filets and one of the ribeyes on a 550+ degree grill for two minutes per side and then let rest (covered) for 10 minutes. The thermapen read about 104 at the time I pulled the steaks.

The other ribeye I did on a very hot cast iron skillet with butter. About a minute and a half per side. Then let rest.

All the steaks were fantastic. Consensus among those eating (me included) was that the grilled ribeye was the best of them all, followed by the grilled filets, and finally the cast iron ribeye. This isn’t to say the cast iron cooked steak wasn’t good. It was excellent, in fact. Everyone just preferred the grilled meat.

All in all, pretty pleased with the Piedmontese.
