    Great job OP. That looks like perfection to me

    That is sincerely damned near perfect. The internals are fucking spot on wonderful. I would like only a TINGE more on the outside but holy shit!!

    Cook is absolutely stunning. It looks like you sliced it with the grain, which will make it tougher, but if you cut your bites against the grain that should be a nonissue. Seriously, looks amazing.

    It’s all perfect; the color, the grain, the crust. 😌

    Cook is great. Maybe cut it the opposite direction in future

    A bit undercooked for me but I’d give it a try.

  7. How did you get more greying on the thin side? Ew… wouldn’t eat that with your fork…

    Seriously great looking steak. Probably ate great, but as someone else said, cut against the grain next time. Great job

    Bad, should definatly let me get rid of it for you. Also make more exactly like this for me to get rid of.

    Mmmmm lookin good. Did you use mustard as a binder or something? Why am I seeing yellow specks.

    Cut meat across the grain.

    The cook looks great.

    Amazing. Only thing to improve would be cutting against the grain but I don’t know if it’s possible with your cut.

    Mmmm maybe 4 dipping pots. Salt pepper, mustard mix, garlic butter, mushroom pan sauce. Or a rosemary compound butter mix. Or a stout beer and bayleaf reduction. Or Or Or …

    I appreciate the love. Ima be real with yall. This was the best steak I’ve ever cooked and I have no fucking idea how it came out so well. I was cooking 4 things at once, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and this bacon/ mushroom/ onion chutney? I don’t know what to call it.
    But here’s how i remembered:
    I reverse seared it at 225° for 45 min, it came out about 122°ish and I let it rest for not gonna lie 20+ min, heated up my pan to just smoking and cooked it with some avocado oil on each side for 2 min and then set it on the outside of the pan to come up to about 130°

    One visualization trick that helped me understand how to cut steak against the grain is to imagine the steak as a bunch of plastic straws tied up into a bundle. When you cut against the grain, you are taking the tips off of all the straws with one cut. When you slice with the grain, you are slicing the straw in half, “hotdog” like.

    It’s not a perfect analogy, but it works for me. Gotta love Alton Brown.
