I feel like after you get a method dialed in, every steak you make feels like the best one ever. This one really was though. Flavor immaculate.

137 for 3hrs, then rested at room temp ~45min, butane torch assisted pan sear in oil and butter, 3min total sear, butter added halfway to not burn. Medium-high heat.

I salt the steak before bagging at 1.5% salt by weight. Fresh crack pepper on it after the sear. I also sear it in an herb and spice infused oil, that I reuse from roasting the potatoes.

That 45min rest time is what I use to let the surface dry out before the sear, and to prepare my sides.

  2. That is a bone in ribeye. Delmonico is not a cut of beef.

  3. When you rest it, is it just out in the open? Foil would have it carry over cook too much, right?
