Cooking A Good Steak - Page 903 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

40min is a long ways to drive to get groceries when you have 5+ other grocery stores within 5min, including Sams. I'll probably make the drive soon though, just to check out the costco hype.

WF boneless ribeye. reverse sear with cast iron.

made the amateur mistake of not adding enough oil/butter to the pan for this one so sear is kind of weak. second one looked better but I didn't take a picture. interior was perfect besides the little bit of gray band.

I bought a house and two months later it was announced that Costco was building less than one mile from my house. I felt like I won the lottery.

Ive always wondered if I would know when a piece of meat has spoiled. I just opened a ziploc with a pork tenderloin in it and WOW. Theres basically no chance of missing it.

Yeah, if you don't feel like throwing up the moment you smell it, it's probably fine.

Fired up the kamado using a chimney starter and placed the coals a few inches from the CI grill grate (gotta remember to take some pics of my setup). Rotated every 8-10 seconds and flipped every 30 seconds. Didn't let it rest long enough and rested it on the plate that's in the pics instead of a wire rack or something similar.

nice. looks like it has some char but you didn't overdo it.

no pics, but I just made what will now be my go to steak leftover sandwich.

caramelized half a yellow onion, then sliced the steak thin and seared it on med-high for a minute. melted some nutty swiss on baguette in the toaster oven, then put it all together and spread some horseradish cream on the bread.

Nah there was definitely some char. Just enough imo. I love a little char on my steak.

Semantics i guess. Looks like standard/regular grill sear to me, not like crunchy little bits

I have made the mistake of using too little oil for a sear in cast iron - what does using too much oil do?

splatters everywhere, makes your stovetope look like a war zone, gets you a better more even crust.

I don't wanna only post good steaks, so I'll man up when I screw up.

Parents invited us over for dinner tonight and wanted me to cook 4x rib steaks.

Show up right on time and all the sides are already done, mom says "steaks should only take 10 mins right?"

Everyone was already hungry/impatient, crap.

Had to do my best with 0 low and slow, just cranked up the grill and tried my best, meh.

All over temp, but crust was salty/crunchy at least.

Finished temp was 143* like poor people eat it :thumbdown:

Yea, I figured it would be off-putting to some, and like I said I want to post my bad ones too (I really like the crunchy/saltiness of it, a lot don't).

Pictured is the one I ate that was much more infernoed than the others, to spare my family of instant cancer.
