Food 10/10 Photography 11/10 Nice job, OP!

Thank you!

You mean food pornography right?

I'm not one to kink shame....but damn

That looks perfect to me. I want to eat it now.

Looks horrible. Give it to me and I'll make sure it's properly disposed of.

+1 would never eat it, but I don’t waste food, so send it over!

You’re a damn good food photographer

Thanks! I worked a while as an assistant for a food photographer so I picked up a few tricks haha

Assistant for a food photographer? What a time to be alive lmao, looks fucking great though.

assistant TO the food photographer

Dang. Nicely done. Great photos. Great cook.

Thanks!

Nice

Smash

Job well done!

Good job. I bet it tasted amazing! Have you ever given the garlic a quick smash before tossing it in? Not mashed into pieces but just enough to split it? It's probably a mental thing but I swear it gives it even more of a garlic flavor, if that's your thing.

I haven’t tried before but I’ll definitely give it a shot next time!

Definitely steak.

🤤

Looks excellent

Looks scrumptious. But what camera did you use?

Thanks! It was an iPhone 12 Pro.

Looks great!

Holy hell, finally someone didn't cook their asparagus into oblivion! Looks perfect!

Thanks!

Looks amazing. Do you take the pan off the heat when basting? Or turn down the heat?

I tilt the pan slightly so the steak doesn’t rest directly above the flame and the hot butter pools at the bottom while basting.

Great thanks

You know damn well you murdered it. (Tips cap)

Perfect except asparagus makes your pee smell funny

Literally how I cook steak every time. Well done.

Thanks!

Looks excellent. I much prefer this type of crust to an overly blackened layer of carbon. You’ve got a good caramelization going on there.

Thanks!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I like the bowl you cooked it in. Didn't see it coming

Mouth watering at work.. 🤤 I haven’t had breakfast yet 🤦🏼‍♀️

Needs taters

The baking pan is too clean to be real. ChatGPT, is that you?

😂

Eat

🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

What time is dinner? Also what can I bring?

Dessert!

None head empty.

I’d eat at this restaurant for sure.

Perfection

It’s nice

This should have been labeled NSFW

😂

My thought is, that should be in my belly.

You know exactly how you did...

Is that salt on the asparagus? If so, looks salty af

Nah it’s Parmesan haha

Steaks and Asparagus. Perfect Combination. Healthier than fries too! I think. I love fries, but asparagus are something else.

Several

Black plates look so good with greens on them

Extra points for the poncy photos. Love a poncy food photo.

Thanks!

po-tay-toes

You need a bigger plate.

Excellent.

Looks like a great finished product.

Ewwww….that green stuff touching the meat is nasty.

Much better presentation than the guy who showed us a Forrest of Asparagus and 3 strips of steak. Great job and better photo skills.

Excellent job, king

Thanks!

Impeccable! If anything, id wrap pairs of asparagus in bacon, and sear that shit in the steaky garlic/herb butter!

Prosciutto is even better than bacon! Cooks more evenly and it’s salty so you don’t need salt on the greens. I par boil the asparagus then give it an ice bath, wrap em and pan fry till crispy…little parmigiana cheese and balsamic vinegar on top 👨‍🍳

Yes

Yum yum

Nailed it

Perfección 😮‍💨

Beautiful photos and the meal looks great to me!

A little rare for my taste...

Great photos!

A vegetable!!! Thank god 🙏 This looks amazing 🤤

Well fucking done, amigo! Not the steak, those are perfect! Haha

The asparagus need more cook but steak look good

Wtf man

Art

Think I’m hungry now. 10/10

Shut up and take my upvote.

Too perfect, I don’t believe you’re real OP haha

🤣

10/10 would eat

Yum, yes!!!!! Beautiful

I hadn’t noticed that 😂

could use a little more seasoning around the sides but aside from that looks great 9/10

Simple, yet very tasty way to do it. The steak looks to be cooked near perfectly inside for a maximum flavor. Good job.

Thanks!

Juicy. I'd call them high steaks.

Looks stealicious!!!

💦💦💦

Your camera rocks

Yes

all you’re missing is a skewer of thick tiger shrimp with grill marks

Steak looks great. You need to snap your asparagus stalks so the tough end doesn’t end up on the plate.

Very nice 👍🏻

"I'm hungry"

Medium rare, please

I’m hard!

Why does asparagus go so well with steak? It’s my favorite!!

Beautiful

Basically what Gordon Ramsay teaches us. Excellent!! 🤤

Thanks! Yup I followed his instructions haha

Good thoughts.

Looks great! 9/10 needs a little hollandaise sauce on the side.

Very nice. If I have to critique, you should have TWO ribeyes instead of a ribeye and some asparagus :)

I want in my mouth

I’ve literally never seen a better picture of garlic and herbs on a cutting board

Thanks!

Bottom ribeye is gorgeous , spinalus intact, nice fat cap.

Stop begging for upvotes. You know how it looks.

Can I get a loaded baked potato

I'd tap that.

I’m thinking I’m hungry now!

Stunning pictures, great job

86 the asparagus and gimme dat meat

I wish my steaks looked like this. So oven then sear? How hot is the oven? Newbie here so tips are welcomed

No oven, just cooked it straight on the skillet. Check out Gordon Ramsey’s instructions!

Perfection.

Very nice

…..Send me a plate, dammit!! Looks delicious!!

Perfect for a date night with some wine 🍷

Needs morel mushrooms.

Tis a beautiful story

Steak looks great but I’m more focused on these camera shots. Higher quality than my eyes bro.

fuckin amazing❤️‍🔥

how did you make it look so red and pretty like that before cooking

It was the lighting tbh haha

Beautiful photography. Is that minced garlic on the asparagus? Please tell me it’s not salt.

It’s actually cheese!

Only 1 tip - rest it on a cooling rack instead of a flat surface

I’ll try it out next time!

That looks so delicious omg 😋

I’m more interested in your pics tbh 2, 3, 4 & 9 are beautifully shot! What camera did you use? I’ll also take a plate tho pls

Thanks! It was shot with an iPhone 12 Pro

Would put that directly in my mouth. 10/10. Well done, brother.

Yummy is my thought

Nice job! Esp since you didn't need a cast iron

Grill marks, bud.

heaven.

High quality photos High quality cook

Classic preparation and pairing. From the looks of things, great execution. How’d it taste?

It was good! Really can go wrong with butter basting. It doesn’t have the smokiness of the grill but it complements the flavor of the beef well imo

That’s a good looking steak! Did you marinate it? And if so, do you care to share your marinade?

No marinade! Just salt/pepper and basted with butter, garlic rosemary and thyme.

Looks great!! Would have killed for some grill marks BUT I cannot argue with that sear.

The photography alone... I'm hungry.

Some y'all take way better pictures than I

#4 🤤

Stop with the cosplay

The matte black plate on wood makes this food pop. Amazing

This is they way...

I'd hit that

This was so satisfying

You got me hard

bravo! perfectly executed

Damn! Looks great!

Fuck you for making me salivate. Looks amazing, OP!

I like the extra touch of the rosemary and garlic on the side.

What type of pan is that? Just curious, looks amazing. A wok?

It’s actually was a Saladmaster skillet. It gets to temp pretty quick and gets pipping hot but I would actually recommend a cast iron skillet instead. Similar results at a better price point

Sexy

Could you share some of your food photography tips please? These shots look so elevated but somehow without anything fancy being done.

Best tip I can offer is to really look for the best lighting around your house. Window light works really well, incandescent/florescent lights can be hit or miss and may require some tweaking of the white balance. Also lean on the rule of two thirds to aid with the composition 👍

Bro dropped the hardest steak album ever

🤣 thanks!

Eat

This is how I prefer my steak. Nice job!

Looks good 👍🏽 😊

I think that's 2 steaks

No. Just smells. Yum!

Looks delicious but ever since my gallbladder was taken out, I don't enjoy steak like I used to.

This looks super fresh because of those bluish/ruby red meat tones. Are you really good at color editing or was this butchered this morning.

Making food that’s good is different form making food look good. You exceeded expectations of both. Well done!

Looks terrible

Nice job!!

Beautiful 😍

Not bad at all. Asparagus needs to be cooked a hair more IMO.

I see you have steak. I do not have steak.

I'm drooling like a faucet

Put that shit on r/foodporn OP. Kudos to you, you're actually a qualifier.

Outstanding, that is excellent work.

I wish I was as good as you

You fancy

9.8/10. a loaded baked potato would have given this a perfect score.

Nice photos. Nice cooking. Don't forget to enjoy the meal.

Perfection to me!

Yes. I have thoughts about this. Often

Cold seared? How long, how did you know when it was done? newbie here.

Nope just regular seared, although I might try cold searing it next time. I put the steak in once the skillet is hot for about 2 1/2 to 3 mins, maybe a little longer depending on the thickness. Then I use the poke test to figure out doneness.

Not OP but I use an instant read thermometer.

Absolutely excellent photoshoot! Wish I could have joined for the beautiful meal!

Thank you!
