Dinner served, paired with some tasty scotch



Good stuff!
Nice scotch there. For years I couldn't drink that. The Islay scotches smell remind me of Dettol antiseptic. But now I sometimes crave on especially after a meal

A jaccard cuts through the fibres but leaves the cells intact. Ice crystals rupture the cells, releasing the intracellular fluid.

My answer was going to be significantly more bs than that.

Also I'm kind of sad I didn't get more comments on my steak. I thought it was very well done! And the sauce picture is perty.

Red wine reduction sauce. Nom.
Sear could be a little better, band could be a little better.

But love the wine reduction (steps on how you made it?), and I'm sure it was delicious.

Better?

SEAR WAS BOSS, PLEBIAN.

I got this 'bottle' of stack wine where it comes as 4 prepackaged glasses of red wine. So I chopped some onion, sauteed in the pan and deglazed it with a glass of wine. Reduce to syrup consistency, season to taste. Super easy.

Bought some ghee, excited to give it a shot this weekend.

Thinking I'm gonna do some fillets with a pan sauce. Any recs? Did au poivre last time so something besides that.

Try the red wine reduction. Besides that and au poivre there aren't that many amazing pan sauces for steak. If you wanted to try something else you could make a bearnaise.

I like mushroom sauces, but they involve wine reduction

EDIT: oh also this sauce is super easy to make and out of this world:

gobbo: I thought yours was a little overdone for my liking, too much overcooked gray band, and the sear could be better. Still quite solid work, but not GOBBO-LEVEL imo. Sauce looked great, though!

squash: Yum. But that does look like a pretty wide fat strip for a prime steak (but the rest of the marbling does look incredible).

durango: Very nice, but a little disappointed you didn't take the opportunity to do a mirror-image plating there.

ET: Damn!!!!

All: Good looking stuff all around, but of recent steaks, CR and ET are a cut above imo.

For a near 2 inch thick steak all done in a pan I thought the gray band was really small.

gobbo,

I feel your overall steak game is A+, but your pan game could use some coaching!

Gobbo's was slightly overcooked imo, but still awesome and a great sauce.

Wow the blue cheese sauce looks amazing

Currently cooking a grass finished ny strip. Looks worse than choice and cost 20.99$ a pound

Should be delicious, will report back

Gobo worst stake is probably better than most of our best.

I'd pay for that before our 50 to 100 dollar plates around here.

Tenderloins are fairly easy imo. but to get strips and ribeye to come out the way you guys do is nothing short of steak alchemy.

the attempt my first reverse Seat soon. I'll make sure to post.

Very nice. Any noticeable differences in taste with regular beef?

That cow definitely needed to cut on its exercise and allow some fat to accumulate in its muscles.

Hard to say on flavor since i rarely cook ny strips. I know it's way different in ribeyes. Cows just don't get nearly as fat compared to grain finished which is too bad since I would love the best of both worlds.

it's grass fed, so it actually has to forage for its food. while walking 3 steps from the grass you've just eaten to the grass you've not doesn't seem like much, it adds up over 8+ hours/day
i guess like grass fed cows are sorta the college jock vs the couch potato that is the regular cow

Yeah, she was probably the hottie of the lot. Too bad it wasn't wetleg who cooked it or we may have gotten sexy cow pics.
