Good first effort, master. Good looking interior save the one end that was overdone a bit. A few notes:
- Did you oven reverse sear or pan reverse sear? Hard to tell, but they don’t look very thick. For steaks <=1” thick, I think full pan is the way to go.
- Make sure you’re getting full contact with the pan when you sear. You’ve got some nice crispy caramelization happening around the edges, but most of the surface wasn’t flush with the pan/oil when searing.
- ORS typically dries the surface quite a bit, but you still might want to pay dry the steaks before blasting them. That’ll help even more with the sear so the juices don’t just end up boiling the steak.

I apologize in advance.
Rental had a couple of nice steaks waiting for you, cool.
I’d reverse sear on the propane grill. Indirect low temp and finish on those blue flames.

With eco killing it on a regular basis, I think it's interesting to see where he started from:

cooking a 2.2 lb bone in ribeye with dauphinoise potatoes and french beans tonight for a date at mine, in a new cast iron skillet, never cooked in a cast iron skillet before.
i know this is somewhat boring for the thread but whatever i haven't posted a steak for a while so i'll hopefully be back in the game.
