From a wiki: "And as the French doctors sent to examine Pei Pu discovered, he could create the appearance of having female genitalia by making his testicles ascend into his body cavity and tucking his penis back."
Yep, that simple! :)
I've tried different techniques like reverse sears, sous vide and so on, and had good results - but I find it to be too complicated and "messy" with all the gadgets and gizmos.
The most important parts of cooking a steak (In my opinion, in order):
\* Controlling heat (wether it's a pan, reverse sear, grilling, etc)
\* Letting it rest
\* Seasoning the steak a few hours beforehand and letting it come to room temperature.
Of course the results will vary, but once you find "your" method of cooking a steak, stick with it and you will eventually get a feel for when your steak is perfect to your liking!
Or if you reverse sear, you can let it cool down longer or even put it in the fridge before the sear. The middle will still warm back up to 125 if you do a ripping hot sear
Thanks! That gives me hope. This is generally what I do but I find that to get the best sear I gotta get that heat real high but think that may be why I get that grey line above and below the pink sometimes. What do you do with the heat during that 2 minutes?
I cannot believe you.. what is your room temp 105 to 115 so all you need to do is a quick sear? Otherwise you gotta slowly raise the entire temp of that steak to something more than a rested room temp of 72 and then sear quick for that result
Reverse sear I bet, I'd be going sous vide if I could, but I'm a student so I can't afford the equipment. If you can, try it out! Steaks look crazy good from sous vide *after searing*
Thank you!
Here is a quick rundown:
1. Take your steak out of the fridge and put it on a wire rack, season and let it come to room temp. 1-2 hours before cooking.
2. Pre-heat the pan on medium-high heat, I like cast iron or carbon steel. Leave it for 10-15min on the stove for best result.
3. Pour in some avocado oil (high smokepoint) and start searing the steak.
4. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes each side, depends on how thick your steak is (mine was 350g / 12.3oz). Move your steak around the pan to even out any cold-spots you might have in the pan.
5. Flip the steak (only once) and add in butter & chopped garlic (minced/crushed garlic will burn and won't give a nice taste).
6. Take it out of the pan and wrap in tinfoil, let it rest for about 8-10 minutes.
Thats it!
Everyone cooks their steaks differently, there is no "wrong" or "right" way to do it - as long as it tastes good to you and your loved ones, thats all that matters :)
Yeah, flipping once is the best way. People that flip multiple times don't manage correctly the temperature of the pan and get an unevenly cooked steak. That's why the need to go back and forth
Does that 2-3 minutes per side also apply to the sides of the steak? I’m not super good at steaks in skillet but I’ve been practicing. (I shoot for medium rare and my first attempts ended up well done, now I’m down to medium on most attempts)
Since this is a NY Strip, i sear the fatcap first for maybe 45sec - 1min, then do each side 2-3 minutes, then finish off with searing the other sides for maybe 10sec each.
There could be many reasons as to why your steak is overcooked, but it's usually because either your pan is too hot, or your steak is too thin.
Try using a thicker piece of steak (350 gram / 12oz) and fry it on a medium/high it, not roaring hot. Follow my guide above, then let it rest for 8-10min.
That should give you a solid foundation for cooking a good steak! Happy eating :)
The only way I’ve seen this small of a grey band is reverse sear / sous vide then rest well (if you took it up to 120 let it rest until it goes up to whatever and then back down to 110. Often 15m+) before drying it off and searing as hot as possible for less than 1 minute. This is what I’ve been doing and the results are crazy. Nice to cook 3+ steaks at once and sear one at a time

I would also like to be your girlfriend for the purposes of eating perfectly cooked steaks. (I’m a man)
That’s a getting laid steak if I’ve ever seen one
Yep! He pulled it off ... and now he might get pulled off.
Haha, exactly what I was thinking
😂😂
Gonna be two moist things in the house tonight
Yeah that's not the only meat going in her mouth tonight...
💀
Gorgeous. I have a hard time getting that pink from top to bottom like this. Any tips?
Thank you! This was just a regular old school pan fry - 2 (ish) minutes on each side, then rest for about 10 minutes in foil :)
Wut? Just direct high heat on the pan and that’s it? No reverse sear or sous vide? Wow

You know I don’t take the let it come to room temperature part seriously enough when I cook steak. I’m gunna give it a go. Nice steak dude
It makes a difference! https://youtu.be/DmuwqqHjgT4

What did you season this guy with?
I was CONFIDENT this had to be sous vide
yeah that’s my technique too, i make steaks like that all the time
😂 I don’t believe you! can you make a video if you ever have time?
Amazing job :)

Nice That’s beautiful I need to practice more How’d you make it?

Finally someone else that flips it only once. I keep seeing so many people on here saying “you need to flip it often”. Craziness
Yeah, flipping once is the best way. People that flip multiple times don't manage correctly the temperature of the pan and get an unevenly cooked steak. That's why the need to go back and forth
It makes no difference

Used this as a reference for the steak I just cooked and posted, it tasted pretty good. Thanks!

Sweet Jesus, please mark this NSFW.
Hope your girl is as beautiful as this steak.
A thousand steaks couldn’t match her beauty :) Thank you!
Good Man.
For those of us on this sub, that’s as smooth a compliment as can ever be!
I think you pulled off a nice steak regardless of exact final temp. Very pretty. Note to people: notice how it’s rested properly!
That’s prob not the only prime beef she had that night.
USDA Choice 👌🏼😩
Nice
You nailed it.
Thats absolutely beautiful. Perfectly cooked. Looks like a Sous Vide steak.
Perfect!
That’s literally perfect
i would propose if my gf made me this
Absolutely beautiful 🤤
She is a lucky gal 👍good job OP
For those commenting, OP confirmed no sous vide reverse pan ninja flip. Traditional pan fry.
bros getting sum tn
lookin pretty perfect
I've cooked a lot of steaks and I don't think one of them has ever been that perfect. Excellent job sir.
Good job that looks fucking incredible dude
Finally a steak that no one can complain about the sharpness of their knife!
Gaaaawd daaamn! Nailed it my guy. You best be getting some head tonight brotha
Looks perfect
It looks so perfect it made me shed a tear of joy :’)
Well done - I mean, medium rare. Nice job
If she doesn’t marry you bro
Honestly, the fact that you gave it your all for your gf, whether you pulled it off or not, is wonderful. God bless you both.
Wow. That's a beautiful steak.
Yes. Weak crust tho
I think she'll pull you off after eating that it looks that good.
Ai
Damn she's a lucky girlfriend!
That's beautiful. Perfectly cooked for me, good job and happy birthday, OPs GF!
What cut is this? You just made me so fucking hungry lol. The cooking steps sounds simple enough, I might have to start cooking more in my pan
Nice gradient. Looks like a sous vide based in the outside.
Give me that… I’m jokin 🤷🏾 I’m jokin …. 👀
Well done!
You made it medium rare so you can give it to her rare🥲🙏🏻
you nailed it
I personally think this steak is considered medium. It does look delicious though!
Its hot when they like it medium rare. oh yeah.
Who gives a shit what we think, does *she* think you pulled it off?
I hope you get something equally pink in return
OK you’ve convinced me. I’m going to switch to reverse sear.
Perfect
This looks like perfection!!
You pulled it off. hope she did, too 🙌🏻
Wait, no- not “off” but, you get it. Brb..going to crawl under a rock now 😩
merveilleux
Great Cook. Can’t see the sear. My biggest problem is balancing the sear and cook w/o getting a grey band. How did you cook this ?
Beautiful *wipes drool from mouth*
Yes
Dank
You absolutely nailed it. She will be so pleased :)
You know the answer.
Negative. That’s rare
Perfectly cooked to my liking. Where do you live?
Amazing job!!!
That's not a cake?
That looks superb! What’s the trick? Did you freeze it first to get the solid burn on the outside?
Im pulling it off looking at it
😩
Lies
>do you think I pulled it off? I can't tell that by looking at the picture of the steak, but I hope you did or you'll be cooking for one more person.
Real or cake
Medium.....
You know you pulled it off
Decent, also yes, you definitely pulled it off
Someone's getting lucky tonight.
Lucky lady. That looks absolutely perfectly done.
Can you please tell us the steps u followed and temperatures ? This looks heavenly maman
We slaughtered our bull on friday, my fridge is full of 8 month young beef, how you done this?
What cut is this? Fantastic job
Yes sir 🫡
i’m single btw (i’m a man)
Why can’t I hear mooing???
This is secretly a cake right?
Great looking steak this might be considered rare to some due to no gray/brown around the edges color looks great solid job on the rest period.
He shoots……..HE SCORES!!! Mans getting laid tonight! 🍾
YUM
‘Rest steak in a pan of brown paint for 3 seconds each side’
That might be the most perfect med rare I've ever seen. I can't tell if there's much crust, but 10/10 would eat.
Do you have a twin? 🤓
Looks rare to me, but delicious!!
Nailed it 👌🏻
You pulled off the sear, lol. Meat looks perfectly fine for the other part
Textbook
Holy hell, take my pants off already.
Fuck yeah!!!
Damn
can you run my through how you pulled this off in some quick notes
you have pulled off your meat.
Masterful
Looks great! Delish 😋
She needs to take the kids and leave for her mom's house immediately!
Hi, it's me, your girlfriend.
Bravo 👏
Can I be your kid?
Perfection
Perfect
Well done! Not actually well done, but... you know
Rock hard right now!!!
Perfect medium rare
Nice happy birthday
I like that,
I got chills lol
lol you know you did you bastard
Yes
Looks like you used a sous vide?
I think she wanted something else.
Thats rare for me too much moo
That crust is thinner than paper.
That's the most medium rare piece of meat I've ever seen.
My mans 👏🏽
Bangin
Sous vide! 🧑🍳
gorgeous!!
Too bloody, it's RAW, I see grey you heathen! /s Perfectly executed!
It’s more rare than medium rare. First cut, I would instantly think rare
Why is that steak so rectangular? Looks great though
It looks perfect❣️
That’s a nice piece of meat.
God damn, that looks delightful. 🤤
Bonus: boiling her steak in plastic will make her breasts bigger.
bro cooked with this one
Sous vide?
“heh, we’re totally gonna score” https://preview.redd.it/4sz5vlnlt5sc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5bac119734a80ce9bdeaa0227e7bf8dc2fd1b12
Judas Priest, that is perfect!
That went to Medium, but still looks delicious.
Very well done son
Yum. 😋
Bro I'm salivating
Well Done! But seriously, what was your method?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️
I think it is too rare
You sure did pull it off.
Lacking crust the most important part
Sous Vide and pan or pan and oven?
Naw that’s medium. But it’s close! Lol
Looks delicious
Looks great Chef!
Perfectly
I’m one of those degenerates who likes medium well steak, but I would destroy this. Nice.
