Been a while since I've cooked a steak but was happy with this ribeye for the mrs and I last night. Bonus doggo included:

Was going to post this just to revive the steak thread after a week of hiatus.

I need to work on my sear game and less greyband, if anyone has tips on grill techniques I’m all ears.

The grilled romaine and elote street corn inspired grilled corn was awesome though.

Whoah, heading over to volunteer at the food bank, brb!

Damn Da_Nit, that looks perfect to me. Exactly how I prefer my steak cooked.
Corn is A+ too

Been frustrated by thin mail order steaks since COVID and found that Pat Lafrieda lets you specify thickness up to 2”. Check out this 30-day dry aged beauty.



Here are the results, reverse sear on the Weber:





Pulled at 110, and then seared. Crazy thing with the aged beef is there was barely any juice on the cutting board. Wild.

Also, kudos to Pat Lafrieda for sending it fresh not frozen!

Crazy $$$ but it delivers.

Dry aged seems harder to tell the doneness. Pulling at 110 and then searing wouldn't lead me to think it would look that rare. The pics make it look like it's more rare for my taste, but it's definitely cooked perfectly.... the sear is great for bone-in. Nicely done!

Is that a ribeye? Kind of shaped like a strip but seems to have a a cap and eye.

That sear is terrific. Also interesting that you took it off at 110. I’ll cook 2” strips and if I pull at 110 they look much more cooked.

I’m a big Pat LaFrieda fan, have his book on meats.

A *tiny* bit rare for me but I’d still smash the hell out of it.

YO YO EMERGENCY

steaks are currently in sous vide, if I am searing on a grill, do I melt butter and baste, or no basting?

You need to dry the steak very well with a paper towel then you can sear it however you want. I baste because I like to stay active but it’s really not necessary. On a grill, probably don’t bother.

Yes, a ribeye. I don’t have a pic of the other side, unfortunately. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

So how did it come out.

Ehhhh

I think there was too much moisture on the steak to get a great sear. The steak still tasted good. No pics so you know it wasn’t great

I feel like it’s hard to make an excellent steak but it’s even harder to make a bad steak.

My Weber kettle is getting a little long in the tooth. The bottom vents are rusted and no longer work and I’ve got a bum wheel.

I’m looking to upgrade perhaps substantially, but I can’t decide if an upgrade to something like a big green eg would be something I’d like. Anyone have charcoal grill suggestions?
