Second attempt at rare strips for the wife – what did I do wrong this time. Think I crushed it.
Posted last week and realized my effort was sub par. Let’s see what you think of these.

They look a bit raw and should have been seared more.

Grill was not hot enough when you tossed them in, no sear and grill lines. Internal, well that’s up to you if you like them that rare. Only wake to check is with the therm then you know for the future x amount of time per side is whatever degrees you get for how you like it finished.

What are you using to cook it?

Did you bake these? Why do they look like they were only cooked with indirect heat?

Yes wow

I’m pretty sure those steaks have a decent crust. Just a bad pic. Doneness is perfect for me and lots of steak-eaters! Great wall to wall color too.

Need to develop that crust! That’s a critical part of the flavor and texture development

Did you use an easy bake oven?

More sear, please

Looks so gross. Like a piece of seal 🦭 chopped off on. Plate 😂 get some sear on it. Hotter pan or grill it.

This is what my crust looks like when I reverse seer. I think the issue is you need to pat it dry before seering.

So evenly done. Perfect for me

Way more salt. When searing, press it down for a more even sear. About 30 sec more on each side to move from rare ro medium rare.
Also, at that heat and end result, it sounds like you basically took it right out of the fridge and onto the pan. Id let it sit at room temp about 10 min to equalize temp for a more even cook.

Definitely would reccomend you use a sharper knife and make sure you’re cutting it without sawing at it.

After I season everything and leave it in the fridge for awhile, I put them in the freezer for a bit. I get a great sear and a rare middle. If you think it will ruin a texture or or anything else, try it first and see what you think.

If you want rare you don’t to reverse sear… Just take the meat from the fridge straight to a ripping hot pan for a couple minutes on each side.

Are you basting it with the ghee while your searing?

Those look good to me, but could use a better sear/cust. I’ve moved to using a cast iron pan with a bit of wagyu beef tallow for searing. So much easier to get a perfect sear

For me that meat is a really dark red which indicates the animal was really stressed out when it was slaughtered. Stress converts to a chewy piece of meat.
