steak on big green egg?

or other kamodo style cookers...
I have had great results cooking ribeye/strips on my egg before, but only cooking for me and my wife, and we both like our steaks medium rare. friday, i will be cooking for more people who may request different doneness for the meat.
for a 1.25 to a 1.5 inch steak, i get the egg as high as i can get it (600-700), cook steak for 2.5 min, flip and cook another 2.5 minutes, flip again, and shut top and bottom vents, and let "dwell" for about 3 minutes, then rest in foil for 5 minutes. this gives good medium rare.
How much time should i add to the dwell for medium? i am thinking another 2 minutes.
any other methods anyone has used with good success?
TIA

I'm not skilled enough to do the T-Rex method on my egg (high heat sear, then closed vent dwell). I've had better luck with the 350-400 range and doing a finishing sear in a cast iron skillet with butter.
Did you get your egg at Tubbs? If so, you might could give Don a call and see if he has any tips. Are you checking for doneness with your fingertip pressure?

For medium, just increase time on grates when the vents are open by 45 sec each side. If they want well done, tell them this isn't Burger King, and they cannot have it their way.

did get it at tubbs and might give don a call. he has always been so helpful and genuine.
i called once to see if he could sell me a cover for my egg table that i also bought from him. instead of selling me something i didnt need, he was honest with me and told me i didnt need one, and i would have bought it from him if he tried to sell it to me. have always been very impressed with him.
not experienced enough to judge doneness with my finger.
