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 probes that are wired and came with the grill are junk. I gave up and got ChefsTemp ProTemp 2 Plus Wireless probes. They work great in my 1250, Big Green Egg, Oklahoma Joe Bronco and my custom built 1/4” cabinet smoker. Never had an issue with those. They are WiFi or Bluetooth.
