Great video. The only thing I think you might have been missing on the Kamado side is a bit of wood chunks to add a bit more smoky flavor, at least based on what I see a lot of other people do. Wouldn't make a difference on the juicy end though, so really interesting. I've really been curious on the infrared sear vs other options like this. Do you notice a massive difference between an infrared sear vs just a normal gas high heat sear (or say something like a cast iron sear)?

Great videos, I have really been looking at the napoleon prestige grills. I tried to find your review video but could not locate the one im looking for. In your opinion what is the best coating for the napoleon grills. Stainless, black powder coating I know there are many but you have seen them all. I don't really care about aesthetics just want one that is durable maybe easier to clean. Thanks for your help.

My takeaway from this is to sear the steak on the Kamado and then slow cook it. I want the added flavor. Great video guys

You're using a Meater meat probe. I've one of those things too but I'm a little worried using it with the rotisserie and the back burner on my Napoleon Rogue. I'm not sure the transmitter part of the probe can withstand the heat from the back burner. Do you have any experience with that?

I just got the Napoleon with the IR side burner. Fantastic. I cook my steaks only on that burner, just keep flipping until done. Been wanting one since I saw it on this channel about a year ago. I think it was the Weber vs Napoleon vs Broil King video.

Interesting result. What would happen if you put a waterbucket on the deflector plate?

That’s a good thought!

The cold vs room temp steak is for a more even cook, not about the fibers. Fibers are only tight after high heat, hence the resting period. Also having a cooler steak allows to build a better crust, without overcooking the center. BOTH are fine ways, just depends on what you're looking for. Dry brining will add a whole over level of flavor. #proTip

You are the pro Jonathan

The only reason the gas grill was juicier is because it seared immediately locking in the juice, sear on the charcoal grill initially and then bake like you did on the gas grill and you will get a juicy steak with some honest smoke flavor; I know this because I've been doing caveman steaks for a long time.

I agree I think it’s my choice

Nice video. A few comments: 1. IR burner causes flareups. Probably it was very clean before this test. After a few cooks, it will never be clean again, and any food with fat will give you flames. Some like their food charred, some don't. Gas flames doesn't taste good most of the time. Charcoal fire is better. And for those who don't want the char, there are nice solutions like GrillGrates. 2. The entire comparison is not really relevant. Either cook both directly/sear or cook both reverse. Reverse sear if done right should make the food more tender, and gives you more unified and controlled doneness. Direct takes less time and keeps more juice inside. The carryover on direct is more severe since the middle is less hot than on indirect (heat transferes to less hot areas according to thermodynamics). The recommendation of many grill Masters is: if you have a high quality meat and you've got the time - reverse sear it. Regarding the flavor - at least 90% will agree than charcoal/wood tastes better, and not just because of the smoke. Please keep up with your work and add more vs videos, there are not many who can do it.

Dry brine your steak for a few hours. Never had an issue with dry or tough steak.

@calpromoguy

IMHO: First off, reverse sear, dry method works best with steaks at 1.5" thick at least. For MED rare. Dry method: Season your steak liberally with salt for 24 hrs. minimum. This gets the steak surface dry - and the salt permeates the meat. With your meat probe, low and slow. In an oven set at 225F - cook the steak to 120F. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes at least. On your grill - sear station. Grill the steak. 30 sec per side - 2 times. Meaning 2 mins total. The steak is already cooked. Your just searing. Look up "seasoning steaks" - you'll see many chefs take on dry brining steaks. Alternatively - if you don't do the 24 hr dry brine, season your steak just before you cook. Sear first - then finish at low temp.

@@calpromoguy Agree with Richard. I have Big Joe and cook very similar. 24 hour salt brine on drying rack in fridge. 250-275 with only one small wood chunk until steak is 120f. Allow to rest for 10 minutes outside while the coals come up to temp. Sear until the outside looks the way you like. Inside is perfect every time. Never dry.

putting oil, salt and pepper onto the steak should be done 24 hours before, at least. You then preserve the steaks in the refrigerator for one day or two, then you take them out and let them warm up to room temperature before putting them on the grill. Ask Gordon Ramsey :)
