You’ve just reminded me that I haven’t eaten today ... and now my stomach won’t stop gurgling.

That looks great! I’m literally salivating looking at your picture.

I made some steak a few weeks ago and tried out the “reverse sear” method, which yielded some very evenly cooked meat. Low temperature in the oven for a while, then super hot cast iron grill to get a nice sear after taking it out of the oven.

That’s pretty much what I do, sous vide style.  But only for certain cuts, like NY strip.  Ribeye I still do with heat and cast iron only.

That looks delicious! Lots of steak, little bit of salad. We’re having steak, too. But they are the lowly Chuck Eyes from WM, pan fried. Spinach wilted in bacon grease, 3-cheese tortellini with pesto and a spoonful of cranberry sauce for sides. Dried mango slices to chew on with after dinner drinks.

Hmmm good tip. I’m a relative amateur in the steak game. I’ve just been watching lots of youtube recently (thanks for making me stay inside all summer covid!) I came across some reverse sear stuff and was intrigued. Do you just cook on cast iron for ribeyes because they are tender and juicy enough to not need anything so complex?

I’m always teasing myself with the prospect of getting a sous vide, what a cool device! But m y partner won’t let me buy any more cooking gadgets for the time being. I’d have to give up my air-fryer or my insta-pot, neither of which i’m willing to do .

O my wife made her own mac&cheese.  The only real we had a fancy steak is it was on a crazy sale.

Of course you can, oldest best kept secret. What do you think the tray at the bottom of the toaster is for? To catch drippings for sauce, duh!

Did almost the same the other day, but my eyes were bigger than my stomach at the meat counter. Asked for 2" thick, not realizing that would make it over two pounds. So delicious.

Filet mignon on the barbeque, I won’t cook steak on an ything but a ‘q.

Also, marinate in Worchester sauce and steak spice for a few hours, let the steak come up to room temp then on the hot ‘q she goes!

I tried cooking a ribeye in the sous vide, and I didn’t feel like the fat rendered as nicely as it does with just the high heat of a cast iron pan. I really like the sous vide with leaner cuts (leaner NY strip, tri-tip ), or the tough cuts (short rib), but a well marbled steak like a ribeye or a fatty NY strip I feel is still best with just high heat.

we have pork chops sometimes. the best way to do it is with ah-so sauce on the grill.  I saved a piece for lunch tomorrow.

reverse sear is the best sear.
