💡 Pro Tips for Truffle Success
Thermometer = truth 📏 – Pull at 125 °F / 52 °C for perfect medium-rare.
Herb remix 🌿 – Swap basil for rosemary or thyme for earthier vibes.
Cast-iron backup 🔔 – No grill? Use a ripping-hot skillet—just vent the kitchen.
Reverse-sear hack 🔄 – For steaks thicker than 3″, smoke low at 225 °F to 115 °F internal, then sear hot.
