Rib-eye Steak

As an aside, I joined in on the Kickstarter for the Searzall. Can't wait to use it.

You know you are evil, right? 😀


BTW I'm waiting on the Sansaire. I'm trying to be patient as I'd rather have a well finished product instead of something of lesser quality to make a production schedule, but it ain't easy.

Now only if there were as significant a price drop in chamber vacs as in circulators... ah, maybe someday.

exactly. I hate threads like this because you get 1-2 people (usually the same 2 idiots) that go off on how home cooked steaks can't be good.

Are they as good as top tier steakhouses? fuck no. I can't buy the great steaks or age them the same.

Are mine fucking good? hell yeah. Are they the same as top level steak houses? lol

though i will say i can make a steak better then most resturants like apple bees, outback etc.

That is my deal with steaks. I have no doubt a high end steak place will serve a better steak than I can at home. But I have little faith a chain restaurant like applebees or texas road house\outback can do it. The few time I have tried chain restaurants a lot was left to be desired.

Backed it too. Hope it pans out.

134F for 45 minutes in a sous vide and then sear each side for 30 seconds on a hot skillet.

preferable. but pan searing and a short trip into an oven will do the job pretty well, but i cannot do it as consistent. thats where the sous vide method shines. /the duck, it will melt in your mouth

Luckily for most people they are able to fool themselves into believe they can reproduce a steak from a world class steak house at home. My friend is one, he'd whine about "what? you're an idiot for going to places like Donnovans and paying $50 for a steak!" Then he'd proceed to invite me over to have one of his steaks, cooked on a $2,500 high end grill with IR. All that money spent and the steaks still paled in comparison to one I could get at Mastro's.

Your friend is a shit cook = you cannot cook a steak at home that tastes as good as a restaurants.

Ah I see.

They must love you down at this Donnovans place.

So you guys like $50 pizza slices and beers that cost $25?

Why not just bring it all to one tent in some 'adult-friendly' campzone and work out your culinary vices?

You can make a great steak under a 500F broiler.

The problem is most buy cheap meat.

I have had decent steaks in those places.


At applebees, I'd never order a steak.

At Road House, I did but that was like 10 years ago now I think and all of them are ran out of our area since they went down hill.

Outback locally is good, but the founders (they live down the street from my 'rents and they went to high school together) are local. They started a new chain PDQ, which is VERY GOOD!

Many chains have corporate and non-corporate ones.

Waiting on one of these to be delivered very soon now:

Ordered the black one because, once you go...

What is it with blokes and steaks?

Its a lump of meat that you apply heat to.

Theres not a lot of culinary technique involved in cooking even the best steak.

Friend is a great cook, his steaks are perfectly fine, probably better than anyone else I know and I know some actual chefs. I went to his house in Vegas and he made me a Kobe steak, no not the bootleg stuff from AUS or some other place that actually Kobe inspired beef, I had an honest to goodness Kobe steak. Which he cooked on his grill that costs more than a 75" LCD television.

How was it? It was great, but compared to the steak at Donnovans it wasn't great, it was just good. He served me steak that cost more per ounce than a 24oz one at any of the high end steak houses I've been to. If it's not due to those places have ovens capable of 1300 degrees, then I don't know what it is. Because I've had steaks at dozens of peoples houses, and dozens of world class steak houses. And the 10 best all go to the restaurants.

Unfortunately I hear its extremely difficult to replicate restaurant class steaks. One of the reasons is that they dry age their meat, which is difficult to do well at home. Then there is the heat aspect.

And to be honest, I think a lot of the difference is in the basting used.

Steak in an oven? That sounds like something a woman would do. A blond woman.
