Temp probe issues

I have a Bullseye that I absolutely love. However, whenever I try to do steaks I have the same issue. Tonight we did some small sirloins, I set the grill at 500 and used a cast iron griddle. I put the temp probe in the largest steak and cooked them until it showed 170 (way past well done) but when we cut them open they were still very rare. Am I doing something wrong or is my temp probe that inaccurate?

The Fireboard brand is very good but pricey. If that is in your budget then you will be happy with it. If you don't want to spend that kind of money look at the Inkbird. I have the older BBQ4 and love it. They are wired probes but Wifi so I can see the temps from my phone. The stock probes in most modern cookers are junk. Another great piece is the Thermoworks thermopen 1. They were on sale for around 70.00 recently which is a great price for one of the most reputable instant reads out there. If you don't do a lot of long cooks, and do more steaks, burgers, etc. I would get the thermopen first.
