My boss gifted me a steak for Christmas. How did I do?
Haven’t cooked in months and where I’m currently living my resources and cookware is extremely limited. Tried my best.

Great sear, little more on the raw side for me

Great sear. The steak needed 4-5 mins in a 350 degree oven though. Bit too rare for me.

Sear looks great, agreed with the comment on the oven or let it rest a bit more after finishing.

Bring steak to room temp before cook

How on earth did you manage to wait this long to cook it?

I’m jealous. I seriously asked for steak for Christmas this year, and nobody got it for me. I don’t think they thought I was serious. I was serious, dead serious.

After you get that sear throw some butter in there and reduce tjhe heat so it will cook the inside more n not burn the outside

Pretty rare for my taste but fix it how you like it.

You did great! I agree with the other comments that a few minutes in a warm oven and this would be perfect for me. If it’s how you like it that’s all that matters.

Looks like you cooked it cold tbh. Great sear tho.

I mean if your boss is giving you steaks I’d say you’re doing great!

Lower the heat and let that sear build as the center cooks more

If you enjoyed it great, but a meat thermometer should be next on your wishlist

Cook it slower (lower) to get the internal close, then high heat sear. OR reverse-sear it: bake it low till the internal looks *almost* done, then sear it hot and fast on the grill.
If you’re using a frozen steak, definitely reverse-sear.

You still alive, great job on the steak. Let it rest next time for an hour to get to room temp the. Cook

7m per side is for burgers, not steak. The gray band is a little thick for how rare the center is. Flip every 45 seconds for a sear, then rest it at least 10 minutes for a thinner steak like that. You’ll get a more consistent cook temp, with a thinner overcooked gray band, and the same sear. The temp from the exterior to the interior is too drastic in this case, no matter how rare or done you prefer it.
Edit: That fat cap looks delicious to chew on, though. 😆

A good carpenter never blames his tools. Can you give more specifics on temps and resting? I think you’re going for that perfect mid-rare consistency all the way through, I may be able to help.
The sear is great, and I’d eat that all day.

Too rare IMO

I like rare and medium rare. Not too big on raw in the middle, but the sear is nice.

Is it stuffed with pudding

If you like rare then this is a nicely cooked steak. I don’t see a problem here!

Too raw

i think you have to rest it a little more. I usually rest it with a pot cover over it. make a more even cook without the grey line.

Turn down the heat from as high as possible to medium and it won’t burn on the outside or be raw at the same time.

That’s raw, dawg

This is one case where I think you should’ve stopped at the first pic. I was with you until I saw the second pic.
