How did I do? 2 1/2 inch thick porterhouse. The wife likes her filets, I enjoy a med rare sirloin.

    Look how they massacred my boy

    Referencing how the steak was cut.

    Cook looks fine but get yourself a proper chefs knife…and please don’t ever use a serrated bread knife to cut a steak.

    In French, the still life art genre is *nature morte*—dead nature. And that’s what that kitchen scene resembles. That hodgepodge has me questioning so many things, including the use of a too-small cutting board. The desiccating lemons. The butter bell. A random container of mayo. Sugar, I think, sitting next to a cooking appliance.

    Above all, it’s sad to say, that poor steak was butchered twice.

    Steak charred black, cut with a bread knife, OP thinking he ate a sirloin…

    You did bad.

    Sirloin? I’m sure you meant strip. Because that’s what a porterhouse is. A strip and a filet. Almost as good as a picanha or ribeye.

    A tad overdone, but if you like a nice burnt flavor, you’re in the right neighborhood.

    Also, what’s that dish next to it with the knife balanced on top?

    She looks thick bit that ain’t 2 1/2 inch. 2 inch is overkill most of the time anyways.

    Burned the fuck out of it while making sure it was still raw on the inside and cut it with a butter knife

    I can be right over, if you need help eating that! 🤤

    Burned it and forgot to cook it

    With thick cuts, I use a cast iron pan. Sear for 3 minutes on side and about 1.5 minutes on the other (still searing when off heat). Whole pan, straight into an oven preheated to 350. Using the ovens temp probe takes the guess work out.

    Your chainsaw needs some sharpening.

    Looks burnt with a huge greyband. Not great my Friend

    You should’ve turned the temperature down more at the start. Cook it a little more slowly. When it’s almost done, that’s when you turn the heat up for a nice sear.

    Enjoy and sirloin should not be used in the same sentence, imo.

    First off: a porterhouse doesn’t have a “sirloin” it is a tenderloin and top loin (ny strip steak)
    Second, ouch. Think you wasted money just to have jerky.

    That is the most overcooked medium rare steak I’ve ever seen

  18. IndependenceDizzy891

    Looks good…when are we replacing that crusty lemon what is it about two yrs old .

  19. Im_a_Tenn

    Looks medium enough, but get a sharper knife! (Non-serrated blade)

  20. CharacterKoala6214

    If you can afford that steak, you can afford to pay someone to teach you how to cook it.

    Over cooked prob as stated and or not and or rested correctly
