You got some 'splainin' to do...

Has to be the toddler's plate, and lets face it great meal for a toddler. wp

hahah 3 year old getting the well done pieces

Ok just caught this thread and looking for a good link to cook a steak in the Oven? Its Winter and tough to BBQ. So basically need a great alternative to the BBQ with some directions

Did you read this thread AT ALL? Almost every single post is done inside in a pan or in the oven.

So I tried the reverse sear and was really happy with the results. I think I overcooked it a little so next time I will likely do the initial cooking stage a little less.

Here is what I did.

1) Bought 1" bone out Rib eyes. Let them sit on the counter for 1.5 hours on paper towel to dry and bring to room temp.



2) seasoned about 30 minutes before cooking with course flake salt and pepper.



3) In a cast iron pan at medium I rendered fat from the sides of the steaks for about 5 minutes.



4) I added a bunch of butter to the pan and cooked each side on medium for about 3 minutes (this was a little too long). I basted the steak almost continuously.



5) I then took it off the stove and let it site for about 15 minutes.



6) I clarified some butter, cleaned the frying pan and brought it up to medium-high. I added the clarified butter and seared each side of the steaks for about 50 seconds while basting them.



7) I then let the finished steaks rest for about 10 minutes.



8) I then cut them and got this.



The final meal had onion rings and garlic mushrooms and was pretty great.



Overall, it made one of the best steaks I have had at home. With slightly less cooking time on the original run I think it would have been perfect.

Nah. It's not tough at all. You just don't like going outside in the cold.
Your grill still works obv .

btw.

Clovis8, A++. Great looking steak! Crustalicious.





I'm drooling a wee bit right now.

any1 interested in a steak cooking contest where you have to cook a cut of steak, take pics (meat only) and vote on who's you'd want to eat the most? IDK if I am skilled enough to participate, but I enjoy observing a good competition.

hell yea, blind test, everyone PMs pics to an impartial party

Clovis: beautiful job! Looks delicious!

oh you're plenty skilled to participate.

you may not win, but more steak pics is always better

i'm more of a medium fan, and clovis' steak looks perfect for me.

could have different categories for cooking methods as well as an overall winner.

of course, the real overall winner is everyone

Doing my usual roast, the Thomas Keller - blowtorch it an cook in a 275 oven until it is 130 (he says a touch lower, but 130 is what my audience likes), only this time I have slathered it with a paste of dijon, garlic, black pepper, worchestershire and soy. Smells absofreakinlutely delicious. Have about 45 min to go.

this thread is so so so so so so fantastic. i am german and u dont get to buy thick steaks a lot (also im not very high-rolled to buy those). also i suck at cooking meat.
just need to say that nearly EVERY steak in this thread looks fantastic, each in its own way.

Ok, so popped my properly cooked steak cherry this past weekend! Overall I was very pleased knowing that it was my time cooking like this. It turned out a little over cooked (paranoid that I was going to undercook), which is fine as my family is more likely to eat it that way anyway. Will probably add more seasoning (Kosher salt & pepper) next time. I also think that I used a little too much oil as well.

As far as process, got the cast iron skillet really hot on high heat and using Peanut Oil waited until it looked like it was about to smoke (same as I would with stir frying). Then tossed on the steak. Cooked them for about 4 min on each side. After about 2 min on the second side I threw some butter in the pan and used a spoon to pour over. You could really notice the difference.

So all in all I was happy. It was definitely the best tasting steak that I have every personally cooked. If you guys have some tweaks please let me know.

Here are some photos.


About 1 1/2 inches thick rib eye.


Seasoned only with Kosher Salt and Ground Pepper.




Waited about 10 min before cutting into.



EMC.

Great first try. Did you let the steak rest and render the fat?

I did let it rest, about 10 min. I did not render the fat. Not quite sure what that means

Oh, forgot to say thank you as well

pics?

well done jibninja

Jib,
very nice first try. good quality steak. sear looks a little overdone. (imo) those look thick enough that a sear and finish in the oven (or reverse sear) would work.

I don't see a lot of fat on them to render.
