    Holy FUCkin smokes. Looks delicious.😋

    Real good. Way too much shallot and garlic used for 1 steak. I’m sure it tastes great, you can just get a lot more out of your product. They both appear to have barely cooked. So even though you were only using them for extra flavor while basting you missed the mark a bit there. Otherwise, if this was really your first time cooking a steak you should be very proud. Looks great.

    I know that looks amazing friend, congratulations

    Nailed it! Looks great. Would you change the ratio of garlic & shallots or did it come out to your liking?

    You have a very nice pan and Japanese carbon steel knife. You use aromatics and butter and deliver a perfect cook and want us to think this is your first steak attempt? Color me dubious.

    You’re either a liar or a steak cooking prodigy lol

    First attempt?! Very impressive!! I was worried you weren’t going to have your pan hot enough but it looks fantastic 🙏🏽✨

    This is unrelated to ops steak (looks great), but I’ve always wondered, why do people slice their steak into strips? Is it just for pictures? Doesn’t it cool down faster? I’m just not a fan personally, but maybe I’m missing something?

    Excellent and even harder to cook on an electric hob so great job.

    looks good

    I’ve never once pan fried a steak, only have grilled; maybe I’ve got to try it once

    1st attempt honestly a great job really pretty sear, Things I would recommend use a preheated skillet to start the sear, as a personal preference I like to season the steak first and put that side face down first, also use tongs to hold the steak vertically and try to get a nice sear on the fat along the sides (lot of flavor), butter baste with fresh herbs on top as a finishing step, and remember to let it rest for 5 min.

    Awww see you did a horrible job. You should send it to me express so I can further inspect it. JK, you did a wonderful job from what I see

    No salt and pepper? There’s also a lot of great spices that would make it delish.

    You may have missed your calling. Drop what you’re doing, go to culinary school, share your natural gift to the world. Man I’m hungry

    Becomes expensive if the handle of a knife breaks off every time you cook a steak.

    First attempt? There are people on here who have been cooking steak for years and still can’t get it right.

    You did good kid…

    This looks so good and an excellent first attempt, would devour this.

    On a separate note, I only found this sub recently and I feel like my life has just begun!
