For the last few weeks I’ve been starting to make steak much more frequently, and a few weeks ago finally got a Costco Membership to get some USDA Prime.
This is the 3rd strip I’ve made and it is my best work. Wanted to get some notes/feedback.
No before picture unfortunately. Here are the steps:
Dry Brine in Fridge: 27 Hours (12pm – 3pm)
Season: Hardcore Black 4 Hours before cook
Bring to Room Temp: 2 Hr
Oven at 200° – 60 minutes
Out at 115°
Preheat Pan: 20 Mins
Rest 10 Minutes
Sear 60s each side + 50 on Fat
Rest 5 minutes
After searing the first side, did a butter bath with garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Used Hardcore Carnivore Black seasoning.

That crust and fat cap on the side 🤤
Gorgeous 🥹
Crust level over 9000
Uh ohhhhhhh that’s a rub with activated charcoal in it, here come the pitch forks!
God that sear crust looks incredible
Looks amazing!
Looks great. If you wanna save some time, I’ve seen studies as to where after 30 min out of fridge, the temp of meat doesn’t really increase a lot.
This is perfect imo, that crust is beautiful. Crust > grill marks.
Looks like it was cooked in mount doom…… to perfection.
Seriously man/lady/other. Don’t use rubs on steaks. Salt and pepper
This looks absolutely amazing 😻
Looks amazing

Black on the outside, pink on the inside. Tupac would approve.
Didn’t read a word of your description and didn’t need to. Looks amazing good job.
Oh my gosh that crust
Excellent !
Looks great! Only thing I don’t understand, 20 minutes to preheat the pan, are you heating it up using a candle?
That fucks HARD
That crust
