60C (140F for us mericans) seems really warm, that should make it medium/medium well no?

Yeah if i'm cooking regular steak i'd do it at like 54-56, they always seem to recommend going higher when cooking tougher/cheaper cuts though?

Coincidentally had another one going overnight for 24hrs while i was posting about it today, decided to treat it like a regular steak and got it super dry, used clarified butter and weighted it with a heavy pan, results were A+!

All,

Had a 20oz bone-in ribeye ("U.S.D.A. PRIME, Illinois Corn Fed, Aged 21 Days") at Cut in Vegas. Was disappointed when I cut into it and the first slice was pretty much medium. But after a couple of overcooked pieces, the rest of the steak was a perfect medium rare, and the sear was even better than it looks in these pictures. Their process is "Grilled Over Hard Wood & Charcoal Then Finished Under A 1200 Degree Broiler…"

online menu says $56 for that cut which is shockingly low to me...go buy that piece of meat at a butcher and it runs what $30-35? would have guessed the upcharge to be much higher

Probably $15-20. I pay $12.99/lb for boneless prime ribeye in the midwest. They prob dry age in house and with bone is inedible extra weight. not sure what's special about Illinois corn fed. Sounds fairly standard.

Still a great piece of meat. Just saying it prob didn't cost the house more than $20.

most of the profit for restaurants is from the drinks not the food so it could definitely cost more. when you add in the overhead, the labor, etc. i doubt they make that much on that steak.

I have 1.08 pounds of beef tenderloin in the oven for reverse sear here I can't seem to find my thermometer does anybody know roughly how long I should have listened for at 210 will the steak be brown or just warm? its been in for around 30 minutes already should I take it out now? I'm going for medium rare 110 degrees Thanks

Watch the Gordon Ramsay pan seared steak vid that was posted a couple days ago. He talks about using your a part of your palm/thumb as guidance in order to get a rough estimate of the temperature.

Also, fwiw I did a 1 inch thick ribeye the other night at 225 and it took it about 50 min-1 hour to get to 125 internal temp

first ever attempt on a reverse sear BTF. did low and slow at 200 for ~45 mins or so. then I seared in with salt, black and red pepper in bacon fat/butter for 90 secs each sides then edges using the weighted pot method. served with corn on the cob and zucchini.

little gray ban as I left it in a hair long I think. and keep in mind I only have a basic teflon pan, cookie sheet and no thermometer.

They were selling semi boneless choice ribeye yesterday at my local grocery store at $5.99 a lb. SIX BUCKS A POUND! I snapped up three packages (8 steaks total) and will be making two tonight.

They are well over 1.5 lbs each and pretty thick so I'll be cooking them in the oven then searing them off. Pictures to follow.

Those are some damn fine steaks. Whoever enjoyed them in a dark basement in the early 80's probably had a great night.

Steaks are in the oven at 225. These are almost like miniature roasts, they are both around 1.75 lbs and thick. Salt & pepper, will pull when the interior reaches ~125.









These were $5.99 a pound. Will finish with a sear in butter after they come out of the oven and rest. Plan to serve with a mash of potatoes and cauliflower with garlic.

Lol the pics looked funny. my kitchen light as you can see has a yellowish tint. Lol so I tried to get the steak to look more like it did IRL by shutting off the light and turning the flash on. Lol faIL. we're in our mid twenties I would give you a picture of us, but I'm fugly and you already have one of her if you look hard enough

Mexican fresh cheese (queso fresco). You can get this at Costco or whole foods, but if you can't get your hands on some you can substitute using a mix of feta and ricotta.
Parmesan cheese

All the ingredients are mixed in a blender, and you adjust the quantities according to the taste and texture. This video is in Spanish but it can give you an idea of the quantities and the order in which to mix the ingredients. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmp-...e_gdata_player
