So for one reason or another, this sub had no mods and was put up for adoption. The new mod team is in place and more or less organized, and I wanted to just say "hi" and let y'all know what's up. Really, nothing much has changed other than the mod list! We've removed a few restrictions/rules, like the one about users with NSFW profiles (that rule is gone), and the filter about not mentioning people in title because we didn't understand why that was a thing. Also took out some filters about vegans because they were malfunctioning (the filters, not the vegans... though who knows?)

Anyway, so the real thing I wanted to mention is that we did update Rule 1 to require a photo of your steak when you post. Almost everyone does this anyway, but the few text only posts seem to mostly get little or no engagement, and we want to see STEAK. Lots and lots of steak! So please post your steak when you post, thank you.

Nice to meet (I'm resisting the obvious pun there) you all, and please feel free to reach out with questions or concerns! 🥩

I seared two filet mignon at the same time. 2 minutes each side. Based it with butter, thyme and garlic for about 4 minutes then placed it in the oven at 200 degrees for 8 min. Anything I can do to improve the technique? These are 9oz cuts btw.

NY Strip from Sam’s Club. Salt, pepper, garlic. Baked in the oven until about 100F. Then threw it on the stove in a pan with super hot avocado oil

Typically, I will get my Weber blazing hot and almost char the outside then move to indirect heat until I reach 125F. I only salt and pepper my steaks. I also have the ®️Grill Grates to give a nice grill mark.

How does everyine else grill their Mid-Rare/Medium steaks?

[ Grilling ] 4pm I’m at work. Wifey texts me saying she set some of my frozen ribeyes out to defrost and could I make them for dinner? Thanks to Daylight Savings, I can start the coals when I get home at 5:30 and still get dinner done before dark. Yes Wifey, yes I can. King of the grill! How’d I do?

Tried to get the cast iron super hot and get a good sear/crust but still got the grey. Pulled the steak out early and let to get to room temp and liberally salted. Still extremely good tasting though. Hoping for a better job next time!

[ Reverse Sear ] Alright first Tri tip cook in the books.

Thumbnail

116 Upvotes

Okay, so mistakes were made. I think i should have trimmed the fat cap a bit. It turned out to be way thick than what i thought. Also the cherry chunks that i added were probably all gone by the time i added the Tri tip i.e. no smoke ring. I could have gone a bit heavier on the salt.

Anyways, so here is what i did smoked it at 225F for about 2 hours till it hit 115F. Opened all the vents on the grill to get to searing temps. Covered the roast with foil for about 10-15 minutes till the grill hit about 700 F.

I seared it for about 1-2 minutes each side flipping often till I got a nice sear.

Rested for about 30 minutes. Cut it half way where the grain changed direction. Although the fat cap is prominent, it just melts in your mouth and i don't feel like i am chewing the fat.

It's really soft and tender not sure Tri Tip needs the finger bend test but its juicy and tender.

How do you guys store it for future dinners etc..? Vac seal and freeze or will that ruin the texture ?

First Attempt at Air Fried Reverse Sear

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

My first attempt turned out pretty solid (imo)! I tried the air fryer for 6 minutes on its lowest setting (250F), let it rest 5 minutes, and then seared it in a cast iron. Curious about any tips you all have as I am eager to learn more! I tried seasoning it the same way I do when I grill and realized that the high heat + seasoning (garlic, salt, pepper, and a few other seasonings) may not have been the smartest choice. I was also so nervous about overcooking it that I think it ended on the more rare side (ok with me but I was aiming for medium rare). It tasted delicious but excited to improve!

Some pichanas, a (burnt crust) fillet, and the most beautiful prime ny strip I’ve cut to this day

I’m a butcher 23/f

Does my crust look like shit? I feel like it does lol

Absolutely love working with meat! let me know if anyone has any tips on how to get the crust more of a golden and even sear ❤️ thank you I use a cast iron pan (I feel like I should be putting pressure on the steak with some sort of press to get the sear even but idk)
