Reverse seared thick costco prime ribeyes, flash seared on the blackstone after pulling at 115 internal. S&P and MSG dry brine. Basted in butter that I infused with garlic and onion powder, celery salt, and thyme. Would've used fresh stuff if I had it. This got my toddler to eat more than one bite of steak for the first time.
I think im dialing the technique and I'm very pleased with this. What would yall do different? Anything visual you'd recommend? I'm not sure I like how greasy they look, but it obviously tastes good. TIA.

Nice cook, man. Looks awesome.
So, I’ve wondered about this exactly! I put some msg on a brisket the very first time I cooked and had a bark like no other, then spent the next like 7 chasing that bark.
I’ve now used the MSG on a couple and learned some more tricks, and the bark has been good!
Same for “crust” or Maillard reaction on sears. I wish I knew more about it to say for sure.
Looks great. MSG is awesome, I use MSG and salt on pretty much everything savory.
Don’t be scared of msg
Looks great!!! I always use msg
If ur curious why it works, we respond to savory taste in 3 ways – glutamates, nucleotides and salt. You want a balance of the 3 for things to taste savory. Red meat is high in nucleotides but low in glutamates, so a little msg balances it out. This is why mushroom sauce is great on steaks too.
I bought a bag of OG MSG, and I’m slowly working it into dry brines and rubs. I’ve only used tiny bits at a time, but it definitely makes a difference in enhancing flavor.
MSG is the best for most savory recipes! Really adds that umami flavor, don’t be afraid lol
Not a placebo, even the tiny pinch can change that thang.
Msg is great
its not placebo, msg is that ish
MSG = Make Shit Good
Definitely not placebo. Msg is gold.
Makes shit good
They’re greasy because you are literally pouring over oil it (butter basting). I don’t think there is a way around it, but if you discover it, lmk. I think this is like a perfect medium rare. Very nice. I think that maybe the sear looks like it could be a tad burnt, but I didn’t taste it, so I don’t know, and there’s also individual preferences… for example, some people enjoy literally burnt toast, so it’s up to you.
Wow you cooked that extremely well
Nevermind the MSG, bro that steak looks perfect in color.
What a beauty! I bet it tasted as good as it looks! Bravo!
Ohhhh 🫰 OH MY GORD !!! Beautiful 🤩
MSG = Momma’s Secret ‘Gredient
Fuiyohhhh
So we went from msg causes cancer to yay again?
You can add some black pepper meat sauce.
all i took from this is the toddler ate some 🫡
🤜🤛
❤️
God damn that looks glorious.
That is a phenomenal cook of those steaks! Great job!
Instead of msg, try Vietnamese fish sauce (I know it sounds strange but trust me). If you’re not using fish sauce in savory dishes, you’re missing out. It works as good or better than msg.
