One idea I had was to give the steak a quick pass with the Searzall to dry it out even more than I can do with paper towels before putting it in the pan. I wrote it off as fps but maybe I'll give it a try next time.
So these were both Costco prime NY strips similar to what you did. My technique was SV at 125, 10 minute rest, thorough pat dry, sear in cast iron 45 sec/side in clarified butter, rest 5-10 min, then sear again (do the sides first or last depending on your preference). I judge these to be my best results after many variations of SV temps and searing times. Give this a shot next time and post the results.
