I used to reverse sear everything but recently I've started just pan frying and flip really often to minimize gray banding. This is especially convenient for thin steaks from trader Joe's. My only trick with it is to pat the steak dry before every flip as the steak tends to "sweat" a little while frying. Crust turns out great and minimal gray band! Salting overnight helps too.

    As somebody who prefers medium rare that’s a tad bit underdone for me from what I can see in the picture

    I would eat it, but it seems a little too raw to me

    It’s perfect but I’m not trying to eat and floss at the same time 😂

    It’s a little rare for me but a lot of people love it this way.

    too raw for me as i like medium well. but if you enjoy it that’s all that matters

    It’s a good steak, a little less cooked than I like but still objectively good. Nice job!

    How did you get those fries? Did you make them yourself? Please tell me I wanna learn! What’s that garnish you putting on them. Parsley?

    For that thickness of steak a bit under meduim rare isnt a drama,and prefered by me at least,something thicker though is a completely different story

  9. I’m more concerned about the rosemary. Those look like pine needles from a christmas tree that sat at the road for 2 months.

  10. I’d say just a little bit too rare, but that’s only because of how I prefer it. Either way it looks great 👍🏾

    Just right for a thin cut steak with fries

    At a restaurant I order my steak medium rare. I’d much prefer it be like this then be done medium

    Maybe 10% underdone but still looks good
