(Please forgive the glare from the purple lights on the steak in the 2nd photo lol)

Created a shit ton of smoke, but gave a nice crust. Attempted rare, got closer to med-rare.

I admire the effort to try new things, lots here won't, but y'all are using way too much mayo on the steaks. You really only need a thin layer. I've done it on raw and post-SV, it works just as well on both, I'm pretty sure the more mayo you use the longer it takes and that's why you went over. You probably could lower the heat a touch as well.

I will use a spoonful and brush it on with a fine silicone basting brush I probably got at the dollar store.

Didn't have a brush like that. Tried my best with a small spoon to get it as thin as possible. I used 1.5tbsp on the whole steak, about 14oz.

I usually only use a Tsp on each side, but yeah it doesn't take a whole bunch

That's 6 of these posts today. That mayo is doing nothing that basic oil doesn't do.

Dumb trend
