0.8 LB Delmonico cut. I took everyone’s advice, I bought a cast iron without the grill marks on them and didn’t use a paper plate. My process was simple, I salted and peppered generously and preheated my oven to 220. Steak reached room temp when the over finally preheated. I probed the steak and let it get to 117 and took it out and let it rest for 10 minutes while simultaneously patting it dry. I then seared both sides for around 90 seconds and seared the sides for around 15 seconds. I only seared for that long due to the thickness of the steak. I can’t be humble about this one, I apologize but this was beyond extraordinary. The $120 steak I bought at the five star steakhouse council oak doesn’t even shine a light to this one. Sorry for the boasting once again. Cheers r/steak !

    You’re ruined, now. Your last comment is proof of it. Years ago I could enjoy steaks at a nice steak house. Now, it takes the most top of the line place to impress me and frankly, I’m not willing to pay that much at a restaurant when I can do almost the same—minus the cut quality—for a fraction of the price.

    Beautiful steak, welcome to the reverse sear club!

    I want to try this method but the damn it every time I try to sear it even with the microwave vent fan on trips every fire alarm in my home. It’s such a bummer

  3. LOOKS AWESOME!!!

    One little suggestion is Pepper AFTER you cook it. It can burn and the flavor gets muted. Fresh Ground / Coarse is best.

    Again, this looks great!

  4. Awesome job. We make better steaks at home than the best steakhouses. You helped prove it!

    People come here with some questionable work—and I still support it with enthusiasm. This is top tier. Bravo, sir.
