Awwww, what a cute little steak.

Mine is far from what I'd consider to be a good looking steak. (The surface didn't get a nice crust (I got lazy/impatient). But, unfortunately, once the knife goes in, the camera goes down. It was still a perfect medium rare; they all are.)

Maybe this weekend I'll head down to the butcher for a couple more of his nice ribeyes.

That's about how mine turn out too. It looks great to me because I know what a good ribeye cooked like that will taste like.

Custom cut, hand rubbed with a mixture of white and balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and Montreal steak spice, broiled at 550 flipped only once, 38 oz pre-cooked weight. I know this can't be an entry since I did it a while ago, but come on, how often do you get to talk with other steakmen?


What cut is that?
 
those are great, i went to quality meats and they have a 8-10" bone in ribeye, i took the bones home to mount on the wall.. gf says no way 🙁

that looks and sounds gross

sorry
 
Nah, it has to be like Masterchef, 3 cuts of meat, you have to cook one rare, medium rare and well done. Just one cut to your liking is no challenge.
 
It's almost 9pm, but I've been waiting for the 2 1/2 pounds of filet to hit room temp. Already removed the silverskin. Got the corn on the cob ready to go; got the baked potatoes going. Salad with strawberries.

Pics? Maybe.

edit, why not. Reserved some of the fillet for steak subs for lunch. Decided that after I seared it, I'd toss a bed of fresh mushrooms under it & let the juices from the steak absorb into them, then cook them down for a minute over high heat while the steaks were resting.

Being meat masters there shall be a steak off. He's a master. I'm a master.

I buy whatever meat is the cheapest. Then I keep it on my Forman grill till it's brown all the way through. That way I won't get sick from eating expired meat.

Can I enter too?
 
Well done?? A true steak master would rather toss a steak in the trash than cook it that way.
Just about any true steak master would rather toss a steak in the trash rather than eat one well done. However, a true steak master can cook a steak well done, and do it justice in the process. It's the cooking that matters. Cooking a medium-rare is relatively simple. Cooking a steak well-done and making it not taste like an old dried out boot in the process is the most difficult of steak cooking tasks.

No, you have no idea of steak, and do well with pouch based meals.

Bull shit. You've never seen a chefs reaction to steak tickets have you. If it was legal they throw well done steaks on the floor. Steak should be blue rare to medium rare depending on the cut and preference. Period.
 
given spidey doesn't wash his hands, i wouldn't eat anything he cooked....
This.
Unless you want to get Fluminant Hepatitis, Cholera, Shigella toxin, Giardiasis, Typhoid fever, Rotavirus, Ascariasis, or C. Diff, I wouldn't touch anything Spidey cooks.

Spidey has already admitted plenty of times that he does not wash his hands after he uses the bathroom.

Actually, I have. I do private parties on occasion and have done quite a bit of catering, including groups as large as 125. I'm not one of those prima donna dick chefs who gets all bent out of shape because someone doesn't have the exact taste in food as I do. A true chef can meet a request, do it well, and meet or exceed a customer's expectations.
