How'd I do? I thought it came out really well with just the slightest banding and a flavorful crust.

Process:
– dry brined for a day or so
– in the oven until it hit 122f
– went in the freezer to slow/stop the cooking process. it hit around 130 before starting to cool.
– seared for about 20-30 sec on a scorching hot (800f+) cast iron pan.

since the filet is so lean, using some beef tallow as the fat added more rich "meaty" flavor

    Looks epic, I’d like mine a bit rarer but that’s taste. It looks perfect besides that.

    Absolutely perfect wall to wall medium rare. Tip of the cap to you

    Holy fucking god. I just pissed and shit myself in sheer amazement of the perfection that steak has.

    Looks damn good. A little too crispy around the edges but nice 130F tenderloin rare.

    When did you add the tallow? Before or after the sear?

    Masterclass in filet preparation. Bravo.

    What was the final temp after the sear?

    Now that is a great looking steak. 😎

  8. The inside looks perfect. Hell, the whole damn steak looks perfect. My compliments.

    I’ve never had the patience to do a cool down. I go straight from the smoker to the hot Blackstone for the sear.

    Does the brine give it that bright red color?

    10/10. Wow.

    Side note: Did you slice it with a serrated knife? I’m trying to figure out why it has that mince meat look.

    Wow. Highly edible! Did you just heat the pan on the stove top?
