I wanted to make a steak and I followed a guide online bc I’ve never done it before. Does it look okay? If you have any tips I’d appreciate it, maybe I should get a meat thermometer so I can be more accurate…I marinated it for like 2hrs and then I cooked it on its sides for 2 mins each and then in the oven at 400° for 9mins then i let it sit for 7 before I cut it up 🙂

I’d destroy that
Sear could be more even, but pretty good for your first time!
Looks really nice. Was the sear done when pan was at it’s hottest (using hi temp oil)? Sear Could be a little more, but no biggie. Looks good
Yes just render the fat a tad more.
How did you sear it?
You used the reverse reverse sear technique.
Flip it around. Oven as low as it’ll go for a long time. Then sear on a ripping hot cast iron or stainless steel pan. Flip every 30 seconds. 2 minutes later, you’re golden. Rest 7-10min.
Hells yeah I’d murder that 🤤
Looks good!
What counts is how did you like it?
Is there really this many adults that are first time steak cookers that just so happened to be a member of r/steak?
It looks okay.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If it tastes good it is good.
I’d eat it all.
Also why do all posts on this sub sound like a sensitive virgin teen Michael Cera type asking if he’s doing okay his first time? 😆
Looks good! Keep practicing!
Looks great for the first time.
Pat dry before searing, preheat a preferably heavy pan like cast iron/stainless steel/carbon steel, flipping constantly isn’t bad and can reduce gray ring
Great looking steak, especially for first time! Just practice the sear and it will really pop!
Once you get the inside to a good internal temp (I usually get it to 115) that’s when I take it off, I coat it in Wagyu tallow and crank the heat up super hot and then throw it on for about a minute at that high heat each side to sear it. Comes off at about 135 degrees (medium rare) for me.
Looks yummy
Yes, it is good.
Not okay
temp seem great!! need more sear though, and i think you might want to render the fat side more.
Amazing for ur first time bro good job
loooks perfectly cooked for me tho
Perfect , that’s just how I like it 👌 compliments chef
That’s up to you, G. How did it taste?
Is it ok for you?
Crust could be better, and it’s a bit overdone for my taste (that’s subjective though, if that’s the temp you wanted, then great job!). The grey band is a bit thick, and the fat could be rendered better. Overall, it’s not terrible, I’d eat it. Practice makes perfect.
