    upvoted because somebody who made a terrible steak downvoted you lol. Great steak and plating, cut with a sharp knife. Would like a description so we know what the the sauce, potatoes are and cooking method.

    Oh wow, looks completely terrific

    Is that a red wine reduction?

    I’m not knocking your plating but I would plate it differently but not sure how.

  4. If you cut 1 potato into 3 parts its still just 1 potato

    Beautiful!! I’m only saying this since I can tell you’re doing some plating so just think about bring your elements together and maybe get some verticality and then you could have some negative space with your gorgeous plate.

    No matter what, outstanding Jeff!!

    I like to shave the broccoli stalks but these look tender.

    Dayum, emphasis on the YUM part. The real question is where are you hiding the rest of the steak, and can I have it 🥺

    Honestly, looks absolutely delicious! Great work!

    Though personally, I’m not worrying about plating aesthetics and would appreciate more potato and broccoli to balance the meat.

  16. Steak looks good. Plating – you arranged everything as a square, while having a round plate. Bring everything right together. Put broccolini under the steak even to give height. Instead of 5 cuts, do 3 thicker ones. Pave, do one long one or two larger. Sauce, 2-3x as much. Only put it under the meat. You can add oil to gloss it up if you want, sprinkle flake salt on it. Not the steak of sauce. Wine sauce goes under the meat. Not over it. If something goes over it then it should cover 1/2 of the meat.

    Tips for the sauce, add chicken or beef stock to the reduction. Like 50/50 and reduce. You can add a splash of balsamic vinegar to it to adjust acidity. Also some worcestershire sauce. It will balance it well. Now at the end, take off heat and add a good nub of butter and emulsify it. Finish it with a tiny splash of cognac. This will give a complex wine sauce.

    As is, I’d clear the plate no problem. Good job.

  17. Awesome. The steak looks perfect but what is most impressive are the potatoes. Potatoe pavé is a lot of work.

    Something’s gotta be wrong with me, that’s a serving for an adult??

  19. Seriously_oh_come_on

    Yes yes yes and yes. Congrats. I’d smash this and want more of it all.

  20. Looks like a lot of work. But the result looks great. I wish I could make as good of a steak as that
