After lots and lots of attempts at cooking a great steak on stainless steel, I’m finally happy with the result. I used to not get a good crust, and fill the whole house with smoke.

This was a ribeye cooked in a stainless steel pan. Basted in butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme. The aim was medium rare. Please excuse the chips. They were an afterthought to the main event.

Changes were:

  • a good piece of meat
  • oiled the steak rather than the pan
  • used a meat press to get that crust

  1. The steak looks amazing and the presentation is right on point!!

    How is the appetizing to anyone? How can you eat a dead animal.

    At very least, do the world a favor and educate yourself on where your food comes from. Watch Dominion.

  3. Nailed the Medium rare. Beautiful sear. The ribeye is king.

    10/10. This is steak at its peak. No fancy garnishes needed.

    Putting the grass on top of the steak doesnt make it grass-fed (joking, its a joke…JOKE)

    I have the same problem. Can you specify exactly how you prepared that meat? I know so far to pat it dry and use avocado oil for higher temp point. But i m a beginner and i dont even know when to put steak after making the pan hot? Exactly how hot? Is there way to tell me exactly? What meat press? I did not such a thing existed. I know i m asking alot lol. Anyone? And link for that press will be appreciated. I failed many times as you can tell

    What’s the logic behind oiling the steak vs the pan? Is that specific to cooking in stainless steel?

    Looks tasty 👍🏾 fries coulda done with a touch more colour & crisp, but, that’s just me 😉 each to their own. Overall, stellar job 👌🏾

  12. Separate the cap next time and cook it on its own!

    Stupid question – but do you folks place the cooked steak back on the same cutting board you seasoned it without washing the cutting board in between? Maybe I am paranoid so I always wash the board after I’m done seasoning, while the steak is cooking before I place it back.

  14. The fries also look like a great accompaniment.

    I usually season mine with Salt & Pepper and let rest to bring to room temp. Slice the garlic. Use Rosemary & Sage. Roll the Sage leaves and slice them (there’s a culinary term for this). Leave a few whole. Put oil in a Cast Iron — heat. When cast iron is to heat add steak 3–5 min per side then add butter, garlic, herbs. Cook another 5-7 to preferred doneness. Spoon butter over top. Let rest 5 min. Serve.

    Excellent effort OP. I’m going to try medium rare next time. As I prefer rare but probably not for a ribeye🤔
