NY strip steak on a Traeger




I find it hard to make steak the way I like it on my Traeger.  My preference is called 'Pittsburg' style which is sort of similar to 'black & blue' in that it requires a high temperature to sear the meat on the outside (carbonize it without overcooking the inside which I like rare).

Here are the steps I take to make it the way I like it.  Note step #5 is sort of cheating, but it works for me.
  1. Put the Traeger on smoke setting.  After smoke starts,put the steaks on the grill for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Get the steak off the grill and crank the temp up as high as it goes.
  3. Season the steak with Light oil, salt, pepper, garlic (while waiting for the grill to get up to temperature)
  4. Steaks back on the grill & cook at least at 400 degrees for 4 minutes each side
  5. Sear on iron skillet on a gas stove for a few seconds until it looks like you want it.
Finally, if you want to get unhealthy, you can add clarified butter and put that on the steak while it cools enough for you to eat.

PREMISE : Everything should be able to be questioned.  If it doesn't hold up to scrutiny it should be considered theoretical at best. i.e. You should be able to question 2+2= 5 and adhere to the rules below. Even the most volatile topics can be discussed with civility if  followed properly.   Dancratic method is a specific application of Socratic method.  Instead of a group discussion lead by a teacher or leader, these rules can facilitate 1 on 1 conversation for productive truth seeking.  There is no persuasive element to Dancratic rules.   GOAL : The goal is learning something new.  Perhaps understanding a different perspective a little more.  There is no winning, and no losing unless you break a rule- then everyone loses.   5 RULES : Be kind No name calling of an
