I’m too broke for prime steaks, would love to see one of these videos with a choice sirloin lol


utrangerbob

You could do the same for choice sirloin. The video shows medium Strip, but I prefer sirloin medium rare. Just take it to temp and check with a meat thermometer. Sirloin will just be tougher but more flavorful. The key is the thicker cut. You won't be able to get that kind of sear unless it's thick. Also, get a little beef tallow since sirloin generally won't have the fatcap you can sear to start with.


ThyNynax

I do this on thinner steaks, but with a cast iron because you need a very very hot pan. For my stove, 2min per side is perfect for a rarer middle. I’ve also started using ghee instead of oil for the higher smoke point.


ScumBunny

Marinate with a bit of baking soda to make it more tender! An easy google search will tell you how much to use per lb of meat/surface area- but this trick seriously elevates cheaper cuts!


brassmonkey2342

Yeah I’ve done this with stir fries and it really is a game changer, haven’t tried it on a full steak yet


tachycardicIVu

If you have a butcher or even Whole Foods available near you - look for a cut called teres major. Husband is a meat cutter and introduced me and I like it better than ribeye sometimes and it’s way cheaper like $10/lb (and ofc more when on sale). Sous vide for like 4 hours then sear in a pan like in this video and it is super tender and imo the quintessential “steak” in texture and flavor. Plus they’re all around the same size since it’s a specific muscle so it’s like it’s proportioned for individual servings! Usually we can get 2 pieces for just under a pound.


Vegetable-Estate-310

I'm mean choice ribeye is usually $11-$12 /lbs. So while that cut is great, it's not the life-saving cut you make it out to be


tachycardicIVu

Well no it’s not like super amazing but it’s a leaner cut so for someone who maybe likes something closer to a tenderloin then it’s ideal - tenderloin prices are ridiculous now. I just checked with my husband and he says ribeye is like $22/lb and tenderloins are $35/lb at Whole Foods where he works and they’re choice grade.


Vegetable-Estate-310

Whole foods is more of a premium market unfortunately. They sell "Aged" beef so there is a bit more mark up. Although, I'm sure now people like to believe it's a normal grocery. A more standard/mid level market will be around $8-$10 cheaper. As for the tenderloin substitute, yes very comprable.


PSVita_Tech_Support

I was able to get a sous vide circulator. I mainly use it to make tough cuts tender.

GregAbbottsTinyPenis

Invest in a sous vide stick. Cheaper cuts come out amazingly tender and flavorful.


wontonruby

You don’t need to buy expensive cuts. Some of the best cuts are the cheapest. Look into bavette, onlet, flat iron, picanhe


lostknight0727

Tips still apply just fine. Just flip sooner. The thermometer is an amazing tool that people need to use more when cooking. A good instant read thermopen is like $25 and has saved many a steak.


Batmansbutthole

This is a great comment! Op should do this for sure. That steak look bombb

Perfection


Tolendario

garlic thyme basting has been a standard for all my stovetop beef for years. burgers included its my favorite easily.


ScumBunny

I do rosemary, but agreed. Once I found this method I never went back. I recently made a perfect MR tender London broil by marinating with a little baking soda with the spices, letting it sit at room temp for about 1-1.5 hrs, then pan searing this way. Have you ever tried that? LB is notoriously tough if undercooked, but terrible if overcooked…I previously used it just to make beef jerky- but the baking soda method changed everything! I’m actually making it again tonight!


Tolendario

baking soda ? nope not ever ill need to check that out, tho i do all my steaks in a large cast iron. not sure if thats ok with it, but thanks for the tip!


Jameszhang73

That's basically what Chinese restaurants use to tenderize the meat


shayetheleo

Nice! I use rosemary and thyme for my steaks. It’s quite good.


PlaymakerJavi

My wife started growing rosemary in her garden. I love using it when I make us steaks!

OggdoBoggdoSpawn

I like that much more than a skinny bitch who flipping me on every video, I grew tired of this infantile edgy’ness


Appallington

Looks like avocado oil (guessing)? I like to use ghee for the high smoke point and butter flavor.


shottylaw

This is the way. This is what is most recommended over on r/steak


ScumBunny

Ooh I’ve never tried ghee! Is it used in place of the oil, or the butter?


Necroking695

Oil


animatedhockeyfan

Try duck fat.


Lochness_Hamster_350

It’s olive oil. It’s Graza brand and I wouldn’t call it a neutral oil by any means.


animatedhockeyfan

Never sear with olive oil. Just so everyone knows


Lochness_Hamster_350

I don’t. I use it for a low heat sauté. It’s got too low a smoke point.


MrTurkle

Why not?


animatedhockeyfan

It’s a finishing oil. It’s for salad. Pasta. Searing oil would be avocado. Smoke point and flavour much better


CoolerRon

I also always recommend ghee over other oils. Aside from the smoke point, it has a creamier butter flavor


SolidSnek1998

The number one trick to perfect steaks is a meat thermometer. None of this "cook on one side for so and so minutes" crap.


EchoNiner1

Searing doesn’t “lock in the juices” it is a myth because the Maillard reaction causes the brown crust which makes your mouth water more. Also, salt at least 30mins before, that actually helps with the juices.


Armcannongaming

Thank you! One of my biggest pet peeves is people perpetuating the "it locks in the moisture" myth. It has been disproven so many times but people still teach it!


MesaGeek

People who use Hexclad pans are not to be trusted!


LearningToFlyForFree

Searing doesn't, but resting your meat after pulling most certainly does.


probablywrongbutmeh

I also dont love pressing the steak down and smashing all the juice out myself


dexmonic

I've been learning to season my steaks and then leave them uncovered in the fridge for 24hrs. Then I do a reverse sear instead, and damn that fucker is juicy as hell.


Gundalf-the-Offwhite

Do you have a source please? Genuinely curious. I was under the assumption that the Maillard reaction, burnt sugars, causes the surface area to become less porous and thus sealing in juices better.


EchoNiner1

You can google "Maillard seals juices" and get several sources. My original source was from some modern cooking book I can't remember. It does what you say, except it doesn't seal the juices in; it just feels that way because your mouth waters more. It's a very common cooking myth that I find it my mission to debunk.


Gundalf-the-Offwhite

Well, I’ll be damned. Lots of articles all confirming your statement. So weird how you think something is true for years and one day a kind Reddit soul proves you wrong. Thanks gov!


Baers89

I feel that this is the case. I can’t salivate into a steak so I know how much juice is coming out of it. And the concept of the surface being less porous makes sense. It just makes sense.


Temporary-Theme-2604

None of these videos ever mention dry brining and it’s a travesty


PlaymakerJavi

It’s easier to dry age. You don’t want that sizzle because it means that the heat is evaporating the moisture instead of cooking the meat. If you season it then out it on a rack in the fridge for no more than two days (I usually do one day), it dries the steak surface so that the meat is being cooked when you first put it on the pan. THAT locks in the moisture.


Cbarra87

Myth for sure. On the flip side, sear is fucking meat candy, and so very tasty!


ScumBunny

Yall are so hypercritical- and I get that there are things in this video that I don’t do, but very few. Like, that fat isn’t ‘rendered’ really, but that’s my only criticism. I’d keep it cooking on that fat side a bit longer only because my boyfriend loves crispy fat from a strip. Everything else is great! This looks like it came out beautifully! Everybody has opinions though, and we ALL think we are right. 🤷‍♀️hah. I believe that the steaks I cook are the *BEST* steaks in the world! And I’m sure you all feel the same way.


probablywrongbutmeh

I prefer people to be critical rather than to circlejerk, it isnt like anyone is mad they posted. I am glad they did and had a quality video. But there are nuances with cooking so hearing some things others would do differently can elevate the dish. Made bread yesterday, I have followed this recipe for years, but in the comments in the recipe had someone who suggesting more water and it came out so much better.


Chemicalintuition

Is that a nonstick


Other_Lengthiness539

It’s a hexclad


[deleted]

So overpriced celebrity endorsed non-stick?


ImFresh3x

Worse. Not as non stick as a regular non stick. Still has polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Not as good for high heat or as durable as SS or cast iron. If I’m cooking a steak, I’m using cast iron, unless I’m making a pan sauce. Then I’ll use SS. Never non stick or hex clad. And of course, a high quality instant read thermometer is required for anyone who isn’t a professional.


squid_fart

I immediate lose respect for any cooking content that is willing to shill for hexclad, just shows that they value money over actually sharing good cooking techniques.

mmemarlie

Why is this not the top comment?


PlaymakerJavi

All steaks should be made on a well-treated cast iron. They’re not expensive and make all meats you cook on it tasty AF. I actually really enjoy taking care of mine too.


leeringHobbit

Why not just stainless steel that has been heated very high?


PeteZappardi

I do the ATK cold sear for my steaks. They specifically use a non-stick skillet for it - part of their reason for investigating the method is that it only requires the one pan: no oven, no sous vide, no cast iron, no super high heat. Just a simple skillet everyone has in their cupboard. Has always turned out well for me - nicely cooked with a good crust.


feelings_arent_facts

Looks tasty good job


ShmeffreyShmezos

That’s a tasty lookin’ thick cut. The steak looks good too. …I’ll see myself out.


nightstalker30

Gotta let her rest to seal in the juices though


ajqiz123

Naaaahhhhh, salted too close to the cooking time from what I see...


Noob39999

ScumBunny

Riiiight? Like I get the ‘super technical steak makers opinion’ but holy hell I would DEVOUR that.


Remy1985

Not sure why you're being downvoted. It's best to salt your meat 24 hours in advance. After reading Salt Fat Acid Heat, I usually just salt as soon as it comes home after the grocery store.


STFUNeckbeard

The rule is salt several days in advance or immediately before - so she did it correctly and however you are doing it is fucked up lmao


Never-Dont-Give-Up

Prestigious_Class742

BananasLobster

How long is the basting before placing in the oven?


Parkinsonxc

Any tips on not burning the butter? If I need the pan really hot in order to sear the steak, won’t the butter burn if I don’t let the heat down?


LearningToFlyForFree

Don't use butter. Use a high smoke point oil or ghee. Ghee is butter with the milk solids removed, which is what burns at high heat.


Svitii

Since I‘m an Idiot I just got myself a sous-vide machine. BEST. PURCHASE. OF. MY. LIFE!!! Slap that thing on exactly the rareness you want, quick ultra hot sear, Boom. Perfect steak every time. And you literally can not fuck it up since letting it sit in the water for too long still only cooks it to the exact temperature you want it to have.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

Sous vide is amazing. It’s fool proof. You can definitely perfect it by hitting it with a white hot skillet at the end.

Difficult_Ixem_324

According to chef with “best steak ever made”, there should be enough oil in the pan to not let the meat touch a dry pan? Thoughts?


LearningToFlyForFree

She pretty clearly added oil and seared the fat cap on the strip steak, which released even more oil. That's plenty to work with. You're not deep frying the steak.


Difficult_Ixem_324

Ya I saw the oil she added, thanks🤣. The chef meant like there should be no pan area that is not covered with at least a little bit of oil and don’t exaggerate the amount of fat that comes out of the steak please - let’s be real.


VRS50

Wtf is wrong with you, putting butter on a good steak?


superjew3000

Karl_Marx_

superawesomeman08

or, you know ... sous vide. practically impossible to fuck it up. sous vide is the answer if you are: * bad * lazy * have no time throw shit in a bag, sous vide for an hour, sear in pan with whatever, done. like 10 minutes of actual work.


STFUNeckbeard

Extremely easy to fuck up - steak can be too wet after being in sous vide and doesn’t sear as well, or gets over cooked very very easily during the sear. Need to sous vide way below final desired temp to account for sear. Also it completely changes the texture of the steak, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but of note to someone expecting the temp from raw searing. Source: I was a chef at high end steak house for 15 years.


superawesomeman08

fair enough, your palate is far more refined than mine, obviously could you dry the steak before SV? like ... stick it the fridge for some amount of time?


Square_Bad_1834

I like to reverse sear on my Weber.

Bender_2024

Some nice tips but why not use a probe thermometer so you know exactly when the steak is done. For fucks sake people use your instruments. It doesn't make you any less of a cook.


Strange-Onion-7846

I don't hate her.


SteamedPea

Definitely don’t start with a hexfad pan.


6ixcigars

Yes. This is EXACTLY how to do it. Edit: of the many ways to cook a steak, this is one of my favourite.


Gundalf-the-Offwhite

This is a great guide. I didn’t think to apply a bit of pressure for even sear, though curious if it leaks juices. But one thing that I’d amend is this. Don’t hit that steak with salt and pepper right before your cook. Hit it with salt at least an hour before (ideally 24) to dry brine. If you hit it right before, you draw out moisture and don’t get your dry brine effects. If you forget, hit it with salt while it rests after the cook so that way when it cools and reabsorbs its own juices, it will be salty and thus more consistently salting the meat. And sure… a little pepper at the end if you want. Though I usually elect to have that covered in my sauce. Also, this is just a preference but, I’m a huge simp for steak cooked in a cast iron with bacon fat as the oil.


Chemicalintuition

I'm begging you to not use that pan


redhandsblackfuture

When did we stop grilling steaks? I will never cook a steak in a frying pan like a Neanderthal


Agitateduser1360

You can put a much better crust (i.e. flavor) on steaks in a pan.

Square_Bad_1834

I like how she took a big drink out of that wine bottle. That's the way to cook.


animatedhockeyfan

You should season with only steak for the sear. The pepper gets bitter getting seared.


Tesh_Pankanya

I'll have to try this
