800g Galacian ribeye – reverse seared and thrown into a searing hot titanium pan for 2 minutes each side for that thick crust…

I shared it with family.
They found it too rare. My mother cooked hers to well done 😅

Would you have this differently?

    I mighta cooked my mom one to her preference.

    But if she asked for medium rare then she must actually want medium or medium well.

    Nah man. Only thing I’d have done differently is ate the entire thing before I could even take a picture or serve the mother.

    Why not just cook it the way your guests like instead of trying to force them to like something on account of your personal taste?

  4. This looks like one of the best cooks I’ve ever seen here.

    My mom also grew up eating well done meat and it is still good, no need to be obnoxious about it. That’s high quality meat, offer her to taste it and if she doesn’t like it, just cook it how she wants it. Also what’s the yellow on top in the first pic? Fat or garlic? If it is fat, it needs to be rendered more, imo.

    I think you cooked this steak to it’s ideal doneness, in the abstract culinary sense, I’m sure it was amazing. What I would do in a case like this, is sear them one at a time, so the pan is still hot as I’m serving the first, and if nobody wants it at your doneness, serve yourself, and throw them back on till people are happy.

    Literal perfection. I grew up eating well done steak and since having lived with a PROPER steak eating family, this steak is 10/10 just right.

    That’s perfect for me but my mom would appreciate me cooking a bit longer

    I always find that cooking for yourself is easy probably best to do medium rare but if I was cooking for a group or my family I would do medium as people’s tastes are all slightly different

    for my taste buds I like mine rare but not everyone does. Sure looks yummy. Hope your Mom enjoyed hers as well.

    No, that’s fine. But when people say they like their meat rare, they usually mean medium in my experience. Not people who cook steak often, but gen pop.

    I’d like it ever so slightly more done.. by no means cooked until well done, though. Great job OP! Yum.

    Looks good, it is hard to tell if it is too rare, it could be easily

    I prefer ribeyes medium cause of the large nuggets of fat so I would cook it a hair more so more fat gets rendered out. BUT ultimately that’s just preference.

    People like to eat it how you cooked it and there’a nothing wrong with that.

    Perfect for me, but I know my family doesn’t like to see so much pink when they eat steaks so I wouldn’t serve it to them in the first place without asking if they want it medium or well done because that’s their preference.

    My mother has also grown up eating well done meat and I thought it was proper way to eat it till my late 20’s! How you cooked this meat is more than acceptable….looks really good to me!

  17. Daniel_Plainchoom

    That’s a perfect cook (to me) but likely too rare for a group of civilians and non-enthusiasts.

  18. SlippyBoy41

    No it’s perfect some people have different palates and that’s fine
