Does Anyone have any tips to not get as much of a grey ring?

    Dang man there’s like barely any grey ring on there, and personally you got the perfect crust imo. Fat looks well rendered too.

    I feel like to get any less grey ring would require sous vide and less sear time.

    but that’s a damn perfect looking steak to me

  2. why people focus on a millimeter of gray is beyond me. The Sear is WAY more important.

    idk man. looks perfect to me. i’d be very impressed getting this steak in a restaurant

    How do you get this sear?

    I heat my iron cast for like 10/15 min

    I leave my steak 2 hs out of the fridge before cooking

    I dry my steak before cooking with some tissue paper

    I don’t add salt to it until just right before cooking to avoid moisture

    What am I missing?

  5. I started a diet a while back and i haven’t eaten much today… my stomach rumbled at me

    I think you’re just bragging about that sear lol

    I would do terrible things to that steak. It looks perfect.

    This is a question of the steak being thin, not the grey band being significant in any way

    You’re overthinking it

    But if you want less grey band, short sear times, and flipping your steak every 15-30 seconds

    I found reverse searing almost completely gets rid of the grey ring

    Dude this is a fantastic cook. Just keep on keeping on

    Any better than that would have to be sous vide and reverse-seared.

  14. Lol, there is barely any grey. Looks great. Good work and enjoy.

    Turn the phone sideways and the first picture almost looks like the U.S.A.

    Looks delicious!

    Don’t worry about a caramelized ring. Carmelization is delicious. You were borderline rare which tells me it was damn cold on the heat.

    You’re actually complaining about nothing. Your results are damn near perfect!

    The replies tell me people aren’t warming the meat and are working in restaurants

    Wasn’t I just in a thread where someone suggested r/steakcirclejerk be a thing. This post right here

    That is a sublime steak. Everything in this photo screams tasty. Mind sharing how you got that incredible sear? In terms of oil level, pan type etc?

    There is hardly any grey there and whatever grey you see in this picture is only going to elevate the taste due to the fats being rendered well. Internally the steal looks beatiful. I would dry vacuum it and hang it in a picture frame lol.

    Is this a humble brag? Cause you earned the right to do it. Awesome job.

    Never change, OP.

    If you’re throwing this away I’ll take it off your hands

    Conplai ing about a grey strio when the fat strip is just barely acceptable.

  24. OP, Did you dry brine it overnight?
    If so, next time don’t. Just salt it 1-2 hours before hand if you want. Or right before cooking.

    I find dry brining, while has its advantages, dries out the outer layer of the steak.
