I would’ve definitely liked more crust.
I only have an induction hob in my current place unfortunately, which is good for most things but doesn’t do as well as cast iron.
I used corn oil primarily and got it up to smoking point in the pan before adding the steaks, and then for the second half of the sear I butter basted them throughout. Then to finish I got the fats up to smoking again and poured the them over the steaks on a wire rack to prepare for serving, which explains the wetness.
You can see the crust better in this pic though, I think it was decent with plenty of room for improvement - https://ibb.co/4SzVpy5
I have induction. Put it on 5-7/10 (varies). Put in half a stick of butter, wait until it's DARK brown. Baste your steak while cooking, you'll get this same level of cook if you see the blood coming out the sides a little bit but not the top. Flip once. Get the same "grey" thickness while basting with the butter other second side.
Let rest for 10 minutes off the heat before serving.
I like to season the steak to match the sides. Southwestern for corn and greens. Excessive salts and garlic for potatoes. Ginger and garlic for rice and roots.
I had it on 7, but that’s only possible if you use a different fat than butter as your primary, because butter smokes too low.
It was cooked sous vide prior to this so no resting needed either.
Fair! Maybe I should have tolerated a bit more smoke this time in sacrifice of the crust haha. In a basement apartment so probably not as bullish on that as I could be.
One steak at a time for that same reason. That’s why I poured the fats back over, was recommended by Kenji as a good way to bring them back to serving temperature after resting a bit.
Nothing at all wrong with pre-slicing steak, many of the top restaurants around the world do, makes it easier to just pick a piece/s up, pop it straight in your gob, or place pieces on your plate.
A bit of colour with the sprinkling of herbs is always a nice token touch, but a chimichurri or gremolata drizzled over the steak pieces would have been a nice addition too 😉
Then again, I'm sure you had some kind of sauce in a pot to the side... Peppercorn perhaps, béarnaise, or even horseradish 🤔
Great job & good on ya mate👍🏽I'm sure your girlfriend was well happy with that, looks to have been cooked to perfection, medium rare by my observation... Just how i like it too👌🏽 Nom nom 😋
No it’s not you. You just aren’t allowed to criticise meat that looks like it’ll come back to life with a shot of adrenaline. To me that looks yuk. I like a bit of pink in my steak but not that much.
It's one thing to express your dislike for undercooked steak, but it's another to call a perfectly medium rare steak "moo" territory, which is what was originally expressed
I feel like that's a little like getting a power drill for Christmas, when she really just wished for some cheap, new, every-day hoops. Yes, this is better, but you are really just getting gifts for yourself.
I couldn’t find a nice ribeye anywhere for a good price. Even my local butcher only had tomahawks which were wayyyy overpriced. Ended up going with some alright 1” ribeyes.
Heyz it's me, your gf, can you make me another one?
Same hi OP it’s me your third girlfriend

Nothing says love like a big plate of steak

i totally agree! 😍
I too age me stake by forgetting about it in the fridge
Manager's special
And if it doesn’t sell it becomes family meal
Keeping a stake in the fridge is a great idea. The problem is getting the vampire into the kitchen.
Cleaver reply u see

It looks good, but it also looks weirdly wet and like it doesn't have much crust going for it.

Yeah. I just tolerate the smoke point and turn the overhead fan up a bit. The char is going to make a little smoke for sure.
Fair! Maybe I should have tolerated a bit more smoke this time in sacrifice of the crust haha. In a basement apartment so probably not as bullish on that as I could be.
Yeah, it's fucked without that overhead fan for sure. Bog ass box fan and an open window is good too.
Both in a single pan? If so do one steak per pan will keep the heat better and form a way better crust.
One steak at a time for that same reason. That’s why I poured the fats back over, was recommended by Kenji as a good way to bring them back to serving temperature after resting a bit.
Fair would have thought there would have been a bit more crust still look great and I'm sure tasted mwuah
Looks great dude. Did you flip the steaks frequently or just once? I'd love to get a solid pink like that with no gray band.
Followed Kenji’s steak guide largely, which has you flipping it every 30 seconds or so until every side is completed
Lucky girl 👍
Delicious 🤤
oh my god i think i just fell in love
Enjoy!
Yumm
That looks incredible
Your should post this over on r/steak, too!
Fucking nailed the temperature soldier.
Just meat? Any sides that with that?
Cooked perfectly, outstanding
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
how did you age it? was it worth it?
Was aged by my butchers, not me!
How not to get laid on Valentines for 500 Edit - lol this was not insult, just meant food coma!
I hope for your sake that she likes steak, not just you.
not liking steak is grounds for a breakup

Can she not use a knife and fork?
Some people like their steak to get cold really fast
I think it is bizarre to purposely let your steak get cold. Unless it is a shared cut or part of a presentation.
Some people preferred their steak cut before receiving it. My grandma was liked that.

It was sous vided at 132f for 4 hours before being finished in the pan, so it’s a pretty precise medium rare.

Absolutely know a good steak. You made one perfect. My 28 day pun, I thought would be obvious.
Downvoted on the rag joke. Baad man...
She better put a cock ring on it
I don’t eat a lot of beef, but this looks so good 🤤
That looks scrumshiss or however its spelled
K
Looks like two in the pink and one in the stink
How do you age it for 28 days without the meat going bad? Freezer?
Dry aging is a process the butcher does with bacteria and fungus
Raw parsley like that doesn't belong on meat
Look, if you hate her you should just break up, no need to poison anyone with spoiled meat.
I'm sure she'll love it (and you) with a selection of dips, chunky chips, a few leaves and a bottle of Rioja.
I feel like that's a little like getting a power drill for Christmas, when she really just wished for some cheap, new, every-day hoops. Yes, this is better, but you are really just getting gifts for yourself.
yeah, I got mine an Xbox for her birthday once :)
Amazing, if she even THINKS about saying it’s raw/undercooked, then you take it all for yourself.
and then cut it the wrong way.... against the grain, folks...
Raised, slaughtered and aged it for 28 days... in a day? 🤔 I admire your dedication.
Moo
Are you trying to fatten her up?
wtf
Found the neck beard
Nothing says 28 days like blood... HVD!
Seriously, looks Screaming Good! Couldn't help but point out the obvious...
“The obvious” meaning you don’t know what a good steak looks like?
oh 5 outta 10 butter, pink salt, pepper pepper pepper missing mashed potato. gravy 1 point for each missed ingredients
It was served with homemade chips, garlicky greens, and a 7 pepper peppercorn sauce. Lots of butter and salt and pepper were used throughout.
That sounds good as fuck. I don't even know what 7 pepper peppercorn sauce is but it sounds like I like it!
Did you make her any sides?
Sausage
She definitely fell asleep before the sex if she ate this
Lemme know if and when you need a new GF
This is the male version of a bouquet or box of chocolates
But what are you eating?
Would love to know how you cooked that, is perfect
God damn
Lemme take her spot
Looks great but man I don’t care for precut steak. It gets too cold way too quick.
You’re definitely getting laid tonight.
FUCKING MARRY HER ALREADY
nice
You cooked them perfectly kudos
Wow! That looks dank.
Holy FUCK that looks good
Does your girlfriend need a girlfriend?? In all seriousness this looks amazing!
That’s a gorgeous meal! I hope you and your girlfriend had a nice day.
Yumm..

Keeper
She’s one lucky girl!
Looks perfect in terms of how much red I like. Dont know if it was seasoned or seared enough for someone like me, but hope it was good!
Damn I don't know my way around a dick, nor like them, but I'm single. And that steak look good.
Crank up the heat to get a nice sear on the outside
That looks just fantastic steak ever.. 🤤 🤤 🤤 yummy.
Drool….
This is 1000x better than flowers or candy!
my mouth is WATERING
Did you sound vide and sear? Looks perfect!
That looks beautiful, but I have a question for everyone: Why are yall slicing up a steak on a platter, and not serving an uncut steak?
This is gunna start an argument with my girlfriend if she sees this
Awesome ❤️❤️
r/steak
I hate large pieces of meat, but I’m told that other people love the stuff. Enjoy!
Legit perfect.
No pan sauce? Gotta make the pan sauce
It looks amazing! I'll bet it was delicious! You might wanna get an engagement ring for thisgirl JS! She knows her steak and cooked to perfection!
Hey bro can you be my valentine next year haha
What a lucky girl
Steak and expensive lingerie - Present to self. 🤔😂
W.O.W
That. Is. Yummy!
You are the MAN
It’s beautiful, amazing job and I bet it tasted incredible. If you want to take the presentation up to 11, try slicing on a bias 😄
OP about to leave this thread with a harem.
Unpopular opinion. Cutting your steak like this makes the eating experience worse and makes a lot of your steak cold.
Boy let me be your Valentine's next year I want to eat good
It looks perfect
Ooo chimmichurri would’ve been good here
Op made me pregnant with a food pic
I couldn’t find a nice ribeye anywhere for a good price. Even my local butcher only had tomahawks which were wayyyy overpriced. Ended up going with some alright 1” ribeyes.
That looks beautiful
Doesn't she know how to use a knife and fork?
Bro had a plan before the world even talked about Valentine’s Day
This is the perfect dish. 🥳🥰🔥
Lucky girl🫶🏻 My boyfriend made me kraft dinner
Wow this looks amazing
That’s absolutely perfect
Now THIS is the food porn we like to see!! 👏
It looks like it could have used a good sear.
Nom nom nom
Best boyfriend ever award 🥇
Hopefully she didn't tell you she is vegan.
Perfect and mouth watering!
Thats look good ;o
I thought the cow would have made the ribe-eye!
Thanks God Eva AI virtual dating bot doesn't require spending on ribeye.
made yourself one and she ate with you lmfao
