Got a nice grass fed ribeye from a butcher in Brooklyn. Reverse sear and cast iron. Was delicious but probably a tad overcooked. Still struggling to get a better crust.

    Color looks great to me. Sear not so much

  2. If you like rare ribeyes, you missed. But that’s perfect.

    Usually ribeyes need to be 1 rung above where you normally like your steak because of all the fat.

  3. Nope, looks good. I always cook ribeyes to med rare at minimum, which I think you’re at, bc the fat has to get to temp to begin rendering. Anything before that, I think you’ll have a less flavorful, chewy steak.

    That looks great! The fat trim can use a bit of work. That’s not ur fault though. I blame the butcher.

    Lol, that fat looks delicious.
    I would love to have that steak for dinner.

    Looks great to me. I dont like it more rare than that personally

  7. May I ask how much you paid for that bad boy? Looks delicious

    Here’s something that changed my sear fundamentally: Broil the pan for 20 mins before cooking. And of course, dry dry dry.

    Any rarer than medium rare on a ribeye is too rare for me to be honest. Fat needs to be at least somewhat rendered for me to enjoy it. This looks beautiful though a better sear would be great.

    Looks good to me. Don’t wanna go too rare on a ribeye and leave all the fat unrendered

    Just needed a bigger sear on that fat! I’m not sure i could eat it in that state… but the meat looks great

    Oh Lord…. Now I’m craving some steak… 👍

  13. Looks like you didn’t cook it in a hot enough skillet, and didn’t let it rest.

    The doneness looks great

  14. Looks good to me. Just gotta work on that crust. I tend to like my rib eyes more medium rare to help that fat render. I like my leaner steaks rare as hell, but ribeyes I cook a bit more.

    I want more sear on it but this is perf!!!!👏

    For ribeye no, you should go closer to medium if anything. For strip, filet, sirloin, tri tip, Denver, I aim to finish at 125 after resting. Ribeye I aim to finish at like 133-135

  17. Less rare is usually the call with ribeye. For me, order of importance is:

    1) maillard reaction
    2) rendering
    3) croissant

    Nah you want ribeyes (a fattier cut) cooked more medium.

    Your sear really suffered as well

  19. Looks perfect, you can give it to me if you dont want it
