lay the steaks down on either side now and sear uninterrupted for 2 minutes allowing a beautiful crust to form and then flip and repeat this step. 

Cut your heat off after you have temped your steak (look for 5 degrees below what your desired temp is the carryover will bring it up to your desired doneness)
