take about a tablespoon of oil (any kind, cheap is fine) and about 1 - 2 tablespoons of salt (larger grain is better but any kind works), and scrub it with a papertowel. the papertowel will get black. rinse with water, and repeat if needed. when you're finished dry it off.

Lol.

That over-rustle gif gives me the fits! Thank god for *******.

Got some prime filets at Costco yesterday, about 1.75'' thick some nice marbling for a filet.




My new standard when I have the time is the oven reverse sear, which allows for better temperature control. Oven at 200F until 110F internal temperature, then rested for ~15 minutes and seared for 1.5 minutes. I'd like to shorten the searing time but I don't get a good crust otherwise, I guess my gas stove kinda sucks. After searing:



Served with potatoes, brussel sprouts, and a sidecar.



The meat was extremely tender and nicely cooked throughout. I'd like to minimize the grey band a bit but I'm pretty happy with the results as they are.

EMCs:




ETA: adbl0ck is a banned word? wtf? Also, the pictures don't show for me but it seems like clicking on the links show the pictures. Not sure what's going on.

I know it's a steak thread, but is it cool if I post my smoked brisket pics?

ET: damn, another great looking steak. You are playing at a very elite level!

Sylar: IMO sure! Note there are also pretty solid BBQ threads in both OOT and EDF

Sauce bosses: did you guys make that whole pioneer woman recipe for one steak? That sounds delicious, but also super intense!

Good point, I'll just post there.

ElD, I've always made it when doing steak for two and split it between both and it was still quite rich and filling. Eating the entire portion on a single a steak would be.... impressive.

^I'm sure I eat a lot but I could kill your average steak pretty easily and I doubt that it's an uncommon thing.

I assumed the recipe was for 2 steaks, so I cut it in half for 1 and I think I was right. And even still, there was maybe even too much for just 1. I think the full recipe could serve 2-4 steaks and a half recipe could serve 1-2. (where the low end numbers are if you are using the sauce as a full topping, and the high end if you are using it more as a side for light dipping)

I made like a 1.5x portion and used it for steaks for 5-6 people.

Can't believe how long I waited to use ghee. Definitely giving it a 9/10 for flavor and a 10/10 for searability.

Made this today, pretty satisfied considering it's my first time cooking (pork) tenderloin and considering the tools I have to work with. 100% stovetop FWIW
Def need slightly lower cooking time + higher heat next time and gotta find a large pan to press down on the meat

no rly, like i said the first time i posted a pic, i suck at this, i'm just starting out, have **** utensils to work with, good quality meat hard to come by, etc etc

HELL, I WAS A VEGETARIAN FOR 2 YEARS


but i'm gonna keep posting since i got great feedback last time and since i can always count on ppl to honestly bash me when i've done something terrible. which is a good way to learn

That looks pretty good Jah... for something that's not a steak and doesn't belong ITT.

This is the steak thread, pork isn't steak, wtf.

(fwiw I'm mostly just having fun with you, I don't care that much and it looks delicious. perfectly cooked inside)

oh so only beef is steak? i honestly didn't know this, i'm from eur'p ya see.is it just beef or is it everything but pork/fish?
in my language, the equivalent word of steak is usually used next to the time of animal, so you can have "steak of beef" or "steak of pork"

Technically steak can be a cut of lots of different meat but in the US it's pretty much exclusively used for beef.

crazy murrricans

Jah,

GET
THE
****
OUT

WHAT THE ****!?!?!??!?!?!!!!!

THIS IS NOT A ****ING PORK STEAK THREAD!
OR A SALMON STEAK THREAD!
OR A TUNA STEAK THREAD!

THIS IS A STEAK THREAD!!!!!!!

ROY, GOBBO, DURANGO, NOOTKA, ET, OTHER STEAK HEROS I'M FORGETTING IN THIS FURIOUS RAGE, SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE THIS THREAD WITH SOME DELICIOUS REAL STEAK!!!!!!

But that pork thingy isn't a steak even by that broader definition. Although plenty of roasts have been posted ITT, several by me.

Senor,

Beef roasts are of course awesome to post here!

I know!

i think its safe to say that the occasional beef roast is ok to post. gtfo with anything else though (even though that does look delicious)
