16oz Prime Cab Strip Steak

Personally I was pretty pleased with my crust and minimal graybanding. After ten a minute rest it was temping at 135 exactly.

Applied generous amount of salt, let it sit for about 15 minutes for salt to penetrate. Reverse sear @ 200 for 25 min until 100 degrees internally. 3 minute sear each side in a very hot cast iron pan.

I'm still pretty new to this, but would love to hear any tips I could do in the future.

    Perfect medium rare. Great crust, great inside, would be very happy served this

    Great medium rare, good crust. Tell your co worker to buy a steak and see if he can do better. Probably one of these clowns that like it well done. 😆

    Your co-worker is special. IMO that’s on the medium side of medium-rare.

    honestly you nailed it in my opinion. if i were to critique your process at all, i would personally salt the steak for longer before cooking

  5. Dev_WhoDat

    It’s definitely not rare it’s kinda medium rare but also medium at the same time? For some reason to me it looks dry that’s my biggest concern

    I swear people like your co-worker are the ones who send this steak back in a restaurant,then complain later that they finally ate when the rest of the table was finished.

    Your coworker don’t know up from down, let alone red from blue. This is mid rare for sure.

    beautiful medium! maybe your co-worker is slightly color blind? my only addition to your steps is salt for longer to better develop crust & penetrate the meat for flavor.

    Co worker likes dinosaur nuggs and fishdicks

  10. Don’t talk to that co-worker about steak again.
    That would be my main thought.

    Coworker type of dude to tell his parents you said a bad word as a kid.

  12. coworker doesn’t know what they’re talking about

  13. I swear to God people just lie in the title to drive engagement. There’s no way people are this unknowledgeable about steak

  14. Jimpy-Lablover49

    Not at all “blue”. Perfectly med-rare to me

    Stop shagging your co-workers. Find someone who appreciates your meat more

    Team Blue Steak here – way too cooked for my liking lmao

    It is clear your coworker does not understand steak doneness.

    That looks like a typical rookie mistake where you pulled the steak at 135 but the steak kept cooking to 140-142 during resting. You gotta pull it off around ~128 depending on the temp you were cooking at. It looks like closer to medium at this stage.

    The only blue I see is a Blue Ribbon for how nice that was cooked.

  19. Nice fucking sear too. It’s a medium rare/low medium. Also bleu steaks are amazing.

  20. Enough_Ad_9338

    Tell your coworker to stick with chicken, this is a near perfect medium.

  21. GA_Bookworm_VA

    Pretty much nailed. This is nowhere near blue/raw. They probably only eat well done

  22. AlexStarkiller20

    Medium rare honestly. Would be redder for rare. Not even close to being raw

  23. Lord_Fatalis

    If they think that’s blue I can only imagine what they think medium rare looks like 😂 Out here eating wood probably

  24. Pepys-a-Doodlebugs

    Saw this post browsing all. I’ve been a vegetarian/vegan for over 25 years and if I ever ate meat again I would want a steak cooked like this. Your co-worker is a fool.

    Then they don’t know Jack, looks perfectly perfect!
