Yet Another Steak Thread (Partial Failure)

[NikolaeVarius]

Made myself a nice little steak today.


Put some rock salt onto it, and let it sit for about an hour and a half.

Wish I had a cast iron pan, but stainless steel works decently enough.
Did 2:30 a side on highest heat.

Nice browning, obviously middle doesn't have as much as I would like.
Afterward stuck it in a 475 degree oven for 2 minutes a side.

The Steak Resting for 5 minutes.

My Brunch.

Partial Failure. The steak was more medium well, I was aiming for medium rare. I should drop the length of cooking to 2:00. Crust was damn awesome though, and it still tasted great.

Any other suggestions?

That looks disgusting. You suck.

Which is why I consider it a failure. I would never have thought that 2:30 a side was too long.

thought with stainless steel you weren't supposed to put it on max heat?

That looks medium to me. Not perfect, but I'd eat it.

Haven't read anything of the sort.

Do you have a grill?

This is how I grill my rib steaks:

1. high heat, lid closed
2. when grill temp is about 500 I put the steak on leaving the lid open and heat on high
3. 4-6 minutes per side depending on thickness
4. if flare up occurs for longer than a couple of seconds, move the steak somewhere else
5. take off heat and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes under tinfoil

enjoy!
