I use the grill as HerbcoFood suggested but also use a SCREAMING hot cast iron pan. If I do cast iron or grill I normally give it an ice bath so it allows me a little more time to get that maillard reaction just the way I like it without overcooking the steak

Unfortunately PTSD and sensory deprivation tanks don’t go well together (at least not for me). Glad you enjoyed it but I will have to live vicariously through your experience

Camo hat is one of my favorite!
Congrats Chef
