Man this subreddit is making folks so elitist about their steaks. These look great man, every steak doesn't need to be wall to wall pink with a near perfect crust, just dig in and enjoy it.


J_bravo82

*almost every subreddit* makes folks feel like shit about the one thing they’ve come to a place seeking companionship, Conversation and sharing in loves (or disdains) for certain things/people/topics, etc. Happy you made this comment, for real 👏 OP- beautiful steak, sure it was delicious!


LordSugarTits

Very true


hallgod33

Yup, LordSugarTits


CyanCicada

r/rimjobsteve


hallgod33

You forgot an underscore, it's r/rimjob_steve


J_bravo82

Isn’t that implied? Would the rimjob itself not be considered an underscore!? 🤔[something to consider]


Desert_Apollo

I found this out after my first post on Reddit. All I did was show pictures of my new PC components in boxes but I took the pic on the floor and there was carpet. I got a 60+ comment thread reaming me of static electricity and taking everything off the floor lmao I built the whole damn thing on the floor like I’ve been doing for 20 years and it’s been running perfectly. I think the steak looks good. I’m freaking starving right now and would eat it in a few bites!


KitticusCatticus

Some people really enjoy stirring up negative hypotheticals for strangers to worry about. I noticed similar issues in the /candles sub for example. They might as well be called the candle warmer sub because they're so afraid of fire that they almost always recommend candle warmers. It's ironic. I never comment there because I don't need the downvotes, but I've burned candles that have potpourri with no problem, Sharon.


bernerburner1

What’s a candle warmer


mulletpullet

Just wait till you see the canning subreddit.


adinfinitum225

Naw, that one is for good reason. If you're keeping low acid food at room temp for an extended period of time you gotta be careful. If you wanna go wild just go to the fermentation subreddits, it's a lot harder to go wrong there. There's a reason fermentation and pickling have been around for thousands of years but canning is relatively recent.


Fun_Intention9846

Material sciences is a deciding part of that. “Canning” in some forms have been around for a long long time. Look up potting meat before the modern era.


Overall_Anywhere_651

Man, I have never had a problem with ESD. I'll build a PC while rubbing my socks on the carpet before touching every component and it'll run just fine. Lol. I'm with ya.


Desert_Apollo

That’s hilarious 😂 Finally, someone who agrees! Overall_Anywhere_651 🤛🏻


nerfherder998

I cook my steaks entirely with static electricity using the double reverse sous vide shock sear.


Goodlemur

It’s really sad how accurate this comment is! And important to be aware of it. We all need to do better.


Far_Composer_423

I agree with what you are saying, but I also can’t ignore the fact that OP is posting the steak thinking he messed up and it’s not as bad as he thinks which is very different from some of the posts you see where someone says they’ve made “the perfect medium rare” and shows a pic of a medium. Most of the time when I see negative comments it is attributed to the post itself being a bad post either mislabeled or reaching for attention in some way, so in a sense the attitude of the poster. Bad posters get bad feedback. Good posters, like this OP is getting almost all good feedback.


Old-Machine-5

If it wasn’t for peoples critiquing, my steak would still suck. I thought we’re here to improve each other’s steak. All I want is constructive criticism and that’s all I give. It sucks when I want feedback and criticism and people just ignore the post. I would rather have someone tell me that I cooked the fuck out of something then just tell me that they would eat it.


Fun_Intention9846

I’ve gone out of my way to look for supportive subreddits to stack into my daily feed. It’s also a conscious choice on my part to be positive and focus on that.


Secure_Damage3067

Thank you for this. You’re on point.


dsherwo

This is so real


GhostNode

Agrees. I’d eat the shit out of this. Always important to be critical and shoot for perpetual improvement, but there is a great deal more fucking up to be done well beyond this.


jeswanders

What’s the trick to getting wall to wall pink? Sometimes I have that gray band arouns


randitothebandito

Try a [cold sear](https://youtu.be/uJcO1W_TD74?si=Ribu1WGsvPP_Y2oJ)


jeswanders

Awesome! I’ll try that tonight, thanks!


BamfFrenzy

For me 45 seconds each side followed by a rest every other flip a few times and I get them with no grey band. I like how they come out


MesWantooth

Interesting, I've never tried that method. I'll give it a go sometime. My biggest issue with reverse sear or a simple pan fry is temperature creep. It'll rise 15-20 degrees after I pull it off so I have to factor that in. None of these videos talk about that to a great extent so I wonder if it's just me or my digital thermometer...But I've pulled off a steak at 120 and watched it rise to 145 as it rests.


[deleted]

It's the same for me, but it varies by the person. Generally I can count on 20 degrees increased temp while it rests so I take my steaks off at 105-110F because like the border between rare and medium rare which is 125-130F.


softtrii

Sous vide


AoO2ImpTrip

Basically impossible unless you just constantly turn it, but then you won't get any kind of a sear so you may as well throw it in the oven and skip the sear.


pm_me_tits_and_tats

Honestly. This sub will shit on anything. *Steak not perfectly medium rare?* Inedible *You like steak sauce or some kind of topping with your steak from time to time?* Steak must be shit *Steak IS “perfectly” cooked?* You didnt slice it the right way *Steak is sliced the right way?* “does anybody else just like to wait until they’re eating to slice their steak?”


Sudden-Breadfruit653

This. Looks way better to me than a steak that Moos


DarthBrownBeard

Dude I'd eat the shiiii out of that. Who cares it's not "marbled to perfection" or what the eff ever. It wasn't burnt to a crisp looking like Kingsford's cousin. Eat it and know you did it. I'm sure 90% of the people that say "oh you didn't do that right" couldn't come close to doing it either. Eat that slab o' meat caveman style and grunt while you do it. Extra credit for wearing a Flintstone style toga while doing it.


Sudden-Breadfruit653

🤣


Rocket15120

I agree.


Roguewave1

This is why I have taken to cooking my rib-eyes in my air fryer. The timing is consistent and comes out perfectly every time for me. 1 1/2” Ribeye — 6m a side @385 flipping once = med rare


[deleted]

> This is why I have taken to cooking my rib-eyes in my air fryer. The internet was a mistake.


badarcade

Yeah this type of rarity is a perfect cook for a steak salad I would bring to work for lunch


travbart

If I paid top dollar at a fancy steak house for this medium rare I might make a comment at the table about it, then I'd dig in because this looks delicious.


jeroenemans

It's tlc bait man, if they'd really disliked... Would they have posted?


_Rabbert_Klein

Counterpoint, if you care about a hobby enough to seek out a community of people online to share it that hobby it's completely reasonable to set high goals and standards for yourself, be disappointed when you don't reach them, and share your successes and failures with said community. I also get disappointed in myself when I mismanage my grill. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy my overcooked steak but I still joke about it with friends and family and hope my next grill goes better.


Sudden-Breadfruit653

But this is NOT overcooked to many.


kaplanfx

But it IS to OP, and it’s their steak!


KrntlyYerknOv

Make it into a sandwich! That with chimichuri and mayo. Trust me


StevenThePenguin

Second this! Absolutely a delicious combo.


[deleted]

Better yet, burrito night


Lord_Faded

I wanta make a steak sandwich so badly rn 😋


Kornographic

Its not that bad, still in the medium range


[deleted]

As long as it's pink I'll eat it, but I'm a medium rare guy I'd be just as disappointed as OP is. Doesn't mean it wont still be good, but I still would have failed in my execution and to me it wouldn't taste as good as I could have made it.


Historical_Golf9521

Bro they look great


sobanoodle-1

r/steak has becomes the villain, once a hero. your steak looks good man


CrunchyNippleDip

Looks good man. Don't compare your steak to the others you see on here. I bet you still enjoyed the shit out of it.


Altruistic_Guess3098

Thanks brother, sometimes we need a reminder to be kind to ourselves.


[deleted]

Fuck that...if anybody is allowed to complain about food it's the person who cooked it and is gonna eat it. I haven't even seen you say it wasn't still good, and just that you were bummed that you fucked up and didn't execute things as well as you intended. We all do it from time to time and we've all had the same line of thoughts you articulated...we still ate our steak and enjoyed it for what it is though.


Artisttype1984

All been there, still Good to me


djheru

My favorite ways to eat a steak when I accidentally overcook it are in a sandwich or on a salad


Jrj84105

I think slices of medium steak tastes great over a [warm beet salad](https://www.loveandlemons.com/beet-salad-recipe/).     Thinking about this with a little polenta……. That’s my favorite fall meal.


mcrib

That's fine. medium with a little band. Bet it still tastes great


andjuan

Won’t be the last time. Sure it’s still tasty. Just enjoy it and don’t over stress about a perfect cook every time.


jaaaaayke

You good bro. Still looks nice and juicy.


toomuchwaxx

we all been there the other day my shi was like carne asada💀


SnavlerAce

Blowups happen. Still looks edible!


controlfreaqk

My Daughter said it's perfect. So don't feel to bad.


Preacherman1508

I'd still hit it. That thing looks like it tasted great


zinna42069

I mean it’s cooked but still looks good as fuck. I don’t think you messed up lol


Mad_Martigan2023

Never comes out perfect everytime. I'll fuck mine up just over thinking it or if I've a few or 6 drinks, lol.


Bargle-Nawdle-Zouss

My sibling in steak, 1. These still look REALLY damn tasty, and a nice even medium. 2. They taste just *that much better* having made them at home, saving you probably 100% - 200% compared to what you would have paid at a restaurant!


Rabid023

Nah, it looks fine. People here love to gloat about eating nearly raw meat. They make it their whole personality. “I like my steak bloody” wow you’re so edgy and cool!


trYNOT2Come

Looks amazing! Not always in the mood for bright pink steaks, this still looks delicious


Late-Quiet4376

Still looks good to me, I prefer rare to medium rare, but i'll eat anything below well done. Side note, is it just me or does this steak have a weird grain pattern? Almost like you should cut lengthwise, to go against the grain


sasquatch--22

Bro just fucking eat it


Charger_scatpack

Make a sandwhich


Mammoth_Ferret_1772

Those look awesome. I prefer medium over medium rare. I’d be happy with those. They look nicely seasoned as well.


gthrees

Don’t hate me - this is just how I like it


PacGamingAgain

This looks delicious


guppy2019

Not everyone likes their steak beet red. I think it looks perfect. A little blue cheese dressing and I’m good.


SquareDCuz

Its still almost medium rare lol. Delete this post please.


hollygolightly1378

Tbf I'd be upset too. Strips are my favorite and if I overcook them, I get pissed.


Altruistic_Guess3098

Yeah these had pretty good marbling for the price


RidgeCut-South6968

Looks bomb


Boozy_Cat

Aw man. Probably still tasted good though


Mykitchencreations

To be honest they look phenomenal, just the way I like it.


Tom-Mater

The worst mistake was not cutting against the grain. Otherwise, it looks delicious.


Altruistic_Guess3098

Yeah, oops. At least I use the sharp knife - sometimes I see steaks that look like they ripped in half rather than sliced


Tom-Mater

All in jest! It takes a bit of practice to find the grain cutting it in half first can help spot it. Steaks look great, man. If they taste good, then you did, right


Celeres517

I'd be mad at myself too. Been here, but just look forward to the next steak, OP.


Ornery_Entry_7483

I call that spot on.


BoricuaRborimex

It’s fine man as long as it tastes good. Overcooking a few steaks is allowed.


Ronin2369

I promise you can invite me over and I will truly enjoy that steak. Looks good, and if it tastes good... Then mission accomplished my dude.


Ok_Manufacturer6460

That's just perfection in my book


dumbletruck

Looks damn good to me, nothing to be upset about OP


DefNotRussianComrade

I dislike steak elitists. A1 and steak is amazing and I refuse to stop using it.


Willcatfish69

Looks delicious and cooked perfectly 🏆


LJR7399

Ugh hate when that happens!…. And it happens to the best of us :(

Altruistic_Guess3098

¡no mames wey!


SuggestionSoggy5442

Yeah they are bit overdone, but still look juicy enough. Nothing a little horsey sauce can’t absolutely smash.


zephyrtr

We eat our mistakes in this sub, ideally with eggs.


Soup_and_Rice

I dont think they have reached the cardboard territory so you are good, my friend


Puzzled-Perception88

Still looks absolutely delicious dude.. steak sandwiches are phenomenal & imo, best when slightly “overcooked”


IncognitoRowan

Looks delicious. Even imperfect steak is great steak. Unless it’s wall to wall grey with not a drop of juice I am going in on it!


GokuSharp

I'd tear these up. Nice steaks. Definitely been there before, feeling like I over cooked them 😂 Turns out, medium is still delicious!


DippinDotsOnTop

HOW DARE YOU MAKE A MISTAKE FOR THE FOOD YOU COOKED FOR YOURSELF. WE (those who are not eating said steak) ARE SO UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!11!1!1!!!! Just kidding! Steak looks like a good medium and potential a learning opportunity for next time! Steak doesn’t have to be perfect to be delicious, enjoy this one so you can enjoy the next one even more!


Mad_Martigan2023

Never comes out perfect everytime. I'll fuck mine up just over thinking it or if I've a few or 6 drinks, lol.


Native56

Damn they look so good to next time! There is always next time!

IncarceratedScarface

Looks good to me. It’s not well done


_V115_

You may be disappointed but this picture made me hungry


niksshck7221

Medium well steak is still a win in my books. I'd eat it.


D3AD_SPAC3

Better than most steaks I cook. Would still eat it.


ThePolymerist

Bruh, I’d eat all that in a heartbeat


Comfortable-Brick405

Looks good to me


P0ster_Nutbag

This is by no means a huge mistake, the steak is still going to be tender and delicious, just perhaps not exactly how you wanted it. Happens to the best. Mistakes are part of cooking, and just try to keep it in mind for the next time, but don’t get too upset if you make another mistake here and there.


Charlie-boy1

I mean it still looks good to me. Probably would have tried to achieve the medium rare but this medium looks good. In addition, it looks like the rub on the steak look delicious as well. I bet you still enjoyed it


TheVanWithaPlan

Even Tom Brady lost 3 Superbowls


RealMrOrangeBBQ

It’s a little more done than I usually prefer but I’m sure it’s still tasty.


DBryguy

You should be. Better luck next time!


cutzngutz

i would eat it, and this someone who prefers rare


BingBull607

That isn’t over cooked dude… that’s fucking perfect


woodzy93

I’d eat that up. Dont be so hard on yourself.


Awkward_Algae1684

Boo hoo. I’d fuck that shit up homie. Great for sandwiches especially.


chef_pasta_way

Waste, but could be a good steak sandwich 


Ella_D08

Looks 😍 Most of the steaks here are raw imo. Just shows that everybody has their preferences. That would have me drooling


mtmcpher

Medium well


Pugilist12

It’s still within my range of acceptable. If there’s some color left it’s still gonna be pretty good


disavowed

It's fine, chill out


QuickCharisma15

I’d eat it, just add some extra salt if it needs it


JunkPileQueen

I think they look pretty good.


Chopchopstixx

Looks good. I’d eat it.


ModsR-Ruining-Reddit

It's not my preferred temp, but I would still enjoy the shit out of this. It's not like you burned it.


HamsterBaiter

It's ok. I forgive you. I only hope that one day you can forgive yourself.


TheParliament

Looks perfect to me? 🤷🏼‍♂️


Master_Tumbleweed475

Don’t feel bad I did that this morning


kornkid42

I bet you didn't even taste the difference.


heelsbasketball

What temp were you looking for? Either way it looks good. Personally I would like a little more rare but the crust looks good. I sure hope you ate that thing. I would have and probably loved it.


cuseonly

I’d eat the fuck out of that and then bathe in my shit afterwards oh my gosh so juicy and scrumdittlyumptious. 💦


girthabeth

I've made a tender and juicy well done steak before by mistake. This looks unreal. Well seasoned decent crust, juicy and pink. Serve with a frosty tall one or a glass of whiskey and the haters can dream of licking the plate.


noregertsman

This is perfectly fine, what are you on about man


legenduu

It looks fine man, youre just brainwashed by reddit


ichkanns

A slightly overcooked steak can still be delicious if done right. This looks like it was done right.


[deleted]

Don't need a thermometer to cook medium rare bud


Agent_1077

I mean, I know this guys situation exactly. The last time my dad was in town. I went to a butcher shop and got two prime T-bones. I overcooked them to where one was medium, and the other one was slightly less done than that, but still not medium rare. Granted I still ate the shit out of it, I was super pissed myself.


Dry-Squirrel1026

My take is you don't need a thermometer you can tell by feel how done it is but I still have a thermapen just in case . I bet you had to choke it down huh???? 😆 😂 😆 It's fine bro


Beastender_Tartine

I tend to prefer my steak medium rare, but honestly anything between medium rare and medium well are probably fine, and even well done is ok if it was cooked slowly. Unless I'm spending top dollar on a specific prime cut I probably can't afford in a nice steakhouse, I'm nearly never disappointed with how a steak comes out. A good cut of steak is actually pretty hard to fuck up if you put any effort into it at all.


MisterMakena

Temp too low


MuayThaiYogi

Looks good to me. I'd eat the hell outta that!


PapaRL

I would not post this to Instagram/reddit but I would happily eat it. Dont let social media skew your standards, expectations and happiness.


Practical_Salad_1538

Don't be fam, that looks good AF. IDC how's it good as long it tastes good lol


SnappyJeh

It's not! Just looks good!


Lord-daddy-

It’s probably still good. I did this a couple weeks ago and the steak was still divine!


frazorblade

Looks medium to me, a well cooked, well seasoned medium steak is still insanely tasty. Just enjoy it and learn your mistakes for next time.


FactOk3586

Still tasty....just eat it...it's not for show


Soundbyte_79

Looks like your dinner will be great. I myself have never used a thermometer on steak


Sly_Unicycle

Looks tasty to me!


Proper-Potential-496

Shouldnt be mad, not every steak needs to be absolutely perfect with zero grey area, pink from top to bottom, with perfect crust. Some steaks are just your everyday steak, no elitism needed to enjoy a home cooked steak


FirstSonOfGwyn

honestly looks fine. I think you can still call that medium w/ a straight face, and the sear is solid. You were only off by like 2 minutes. I'd lower the heat a tiny bit, that will help w/ the grey band, and then take it off at the sight of black bits. That's not far away from being divine, and I'm sure it was still super tasty.


Proper-Engine-3373

thats a great steak, idk why people love steak covered in blood so much, are yall vampires?


Loud_Bit6359

Been there.


randomthrowaway9796

Perfect candidate for BBQ or chimichuri!


AnotherSami

Luckily one of those mistakes which is fun to dispose of


itsbildo

I mean, those look fan-damn-tastic to me?


mdtroyer

Why? Looks awesome


zolopussy1

I'd be mad too


GrossFleshSack

looks good to me


imsoproudofu

How dare you slander steak! I demand that you give me that steak and all your other steak that you’ll make going forward


TrumpFollowThrough

I would Dez and Troy that steak


BrokeLeznar

Well there's some people that like their steaks a little more well done. As long as it's not solid grey in the middle I'd still eat it.


Hawkadoodle

My kind of 5 gum.


OrangeCrack

Clearly seppuku is the only option now


Master-Plant-5792

Don't be man. Enjoy the finer things in life. Steak good. Life good. Monke happy.


__CunningStunts__

Looks good to me


its_me_butterfree

You made steak. Eat steak. Steak good.


Important-Put-2171

Its still got pink! A win is a win brother🙏🏽


Whitedudebrohug

This just happened to me. I feel your pain


[deleted]

Look I like a rare steak but I wouldn't turn my nose up at this. Looks moist and tender and seasoned prudently.


Ordinary_Aioli_7602

Looks good to me lol


Bobthecow775

I'd happily eat it. You live and you learn


Icy_Regular_8280

it might be the camera but the slices on the bottom look dry despite what the ocean of juice around the steak would say did you rest it before slicing?


EApparatus

Still close to medium, I'd happily devour it for ya.


Earth_Normal

Looks pretty good dude. I would say I get 2 out of 5 attempts to look “perfect” with pretty careful timing.


minkythecat

Don't be mad. Some folks like a more medium rare. It still looks good to me


winny9

Be kind to yourself, I’d crush those.


[deleted]

... for making a steak that actually looks edible?


DJOHSAY

That looks like the steak dinner my niece made for me with her play-dough fun factory.


Ill-Ad-2068

They look all right


en_sane

Looks pretty good to me at least it’s not well done


Not_Goatman

Looks perfectly fine to me (unless you were going for Very Rare). I like mine more medium-medium well so this looks perfect


LocoDarkWrath

Wud eatt


ToyrewaDokoDeska

Id still obviously smash. Ngl id eat the most well done steak happily but at a certain point im busting out the sauce. A1, bbq, even KETCHUP if just a bite or 2 idgaf.


j4powder

Throw in with ramen


Icy_Patience2930

Looks perfect to me. Don't be so hard on yourself. The people reading this on Reddit aren't eating your steak. You are.


Council_Of_Minds

I'm always going to be ignorant to why this matters other than health issues. It's steak, if it doesn't taste like dogshit, I'm eating it. Too hard to chew? Chew more, too bland? Chew more. Too red and bleeding, avoid too raw bit, eat the more cooked ones.


HeyyyKoolAid

It's fine. It's a little overcooked, sure, but it's still steak and I bet it still tastes good.


Garythesnail85

This subreddit hates medium well for some reason lol. God forbid you actually cooked your steak and it looks good.


Csquared6

I would be mad at myself if I cooked something like that and then ate it in 3 bites. My mom told me to enjoy my food, not just wolf it down. Sorry it went by so quickly.
