Based on Kenji and Chris Young’s experience I was comfortable with 225F. I just should have started it earlier. Hindsight is 20/20 right? Still came out great it not quite edge to edge medium as I was hoping. No complaints from family!
Quite understandable! I never have a problem with a little transition from crust to the desired doneness. Rarely does anyone notice. Glad it turned out well ( well, med rare?) !
