I humbly submit this reverse seared Costco filet as my first r/steak post. Haven’t eaten for 24 hours, and this is one tastes like one of my best examples…is it the hunger talking or did I knock this one outta the park?

Prepared by amply seasoned with flake salt on both sides and local “Green’s Sausage House BBQ seasoning” on the edges.

Smoked on Traeger at 225° until ~115° internal. Seared on CI pan w/ beef tallow until ~130° and rested for 7 minutes.

Obligatory…how’d I do?

    You don’t break your fast with meat, I’m sorry to tell you that you’re still fasting :/

    Your post should be in the steak hall of fame. Interesting picture angle, but perfect. No gray band and med rare.

    Even at this angle you can TELL it’s a good crust and obviously at home and just want a to eat it.

    I’m doing carnivore so my I did water/electrolytes only for 24 hours. Now back to meat-only diet.

    🤷🏻‍♂️

    Well, I think you did indeed knock it out of the park; if you’re into raw meat with all the risks that entails…

    what is it with people thinking you should break a fast with a big steak? you are actively harming your body doing this. also it’s raw

  8. Well, that’s definitely not the way to break a 24 hour fast…

    Did you SP season before if so how long did you let it rest with it? Great Job!
