Just tried this recipe on the firepit and it was the most tender rib eye steak that I can remember.

Did a flame sear steak last night with Filet Mignon and it was FANTASTIC!! Did not use the dry brine or sear sauce as mentioned in recipe, just applied olive oil, cracked pepper and Truft salt before putting on a super hot grill (used oak wood for fuel). After searing each side for a few minutes, I place filet mignon on upper grill and covered with warming dome for about 8 minutes.

I repeated same steps as in prior comment except this time used a nice thick rib eye steak instead. Results were equally amazing!!
