Ok, it’s not my first steak, but that seems to be what people say in order to get any interaction on their post. This was a snake river farms wagyu boneless ribeye steak. Turned out pretty good! What do you all think? I like pulling my steaks at 130 degrees and eating them at medium…about 135 degrees. I know that’s not rare enough for most of you, but it’s how I like them. How is my crust?

    Wow openly click baiting the title is a choice lol

  2. Very very good. About 5 degrees outside of perfect for me, but well within good range.

    It looks really solid. I’m a little surprised you got a crust with applying the butter beforehand. Next time try applying the butter while it rests or as a basting and see how the crust compares

    Overall the steak looks bomb though!

    Personally I like seared crisp crust and rare inside. (AKA blue style) Hard to get right without very hot cooking surfaces or fire..

    It’s okay but underwhelming for a first time cook

  6. You did decent! I would have taken it off earlier. The butter is an interesting choice. How was it?

  7. Great job! Cut it with a sharper knife and not serrated. This steak is beautiful

    I find even a choice. Piece of meat is much more tender when the butter goes on while it rests otherwise it looks amazing.!

    Looks good despite how you use compound butter on raw steak. The butter will burn before you get the crust so I’d recommend blasting after you got the crust or just put it while it’s resting.

    Avocado oil next time. And more seasoning up front. Like another poster said you’re fortunate you got a bark without the butter burning.
    But an A for your first cook!

    Don’t butter raw meat, add that at the final minute or 2. Milk solids just burn.

    Sure, and Michael Jordan never tried a sick dunk until his rookie year in the NBA 😉

    You nailed every part of that, from purchasing a top notch piece to prep to sear to plate to “yes please, I’d love some”

    As others have said, you could use some technique tweaks but it looks amazing. 9/10 I would eat that steak.

    If heard letting it sit for the right time allows it to bleed and avoid it all in the plate

  16. Looks wonderful. I’m sure it was beyond wonderful to taste.
