Still getting a little grey band, but I’ll continue to post my process until I find the perfect routine. Anyways here it is:

Dry brine with salt seasoning in fridge for 24 hours, sous vide for 2hours at 125F, pull and rest in fridge to cool for 20min while I heat cast iron pan in oven for 30min at 450F, then sear steak in grape seed oil for 30second intervals (2x) on cast iron pan over coals.

    Looks amazing.

    Totally curious, did you get that coal burning hot just to sear the steak on a cast iron skillet? Seems like a lot of effort just to sear when I don’t imagine a burner would work the same?

    Not knocking it just curious. Enjoying the process and not wanting smoke inside is a totally acceptable reason!

  2. The grey band is from dry brining. Try less time for that

    Cook it now and it should be excellent.

    Nah, this is pretty much flawless. Nice job

  5. Would near-zero grey band leave some germs alive?

    Even though you said there’s still a grey band, you’ll never catch me complaining if I ever received a steak as great as this. Well done

    I’m sure cooking this steak took a long time but it was well worth it

    Have you tried ghee instead of grapeseed? It has a much higher smoke point. Might be the key to that last bit of gray. It is also healthier and tastes a lot better to boot.
