How long did you let the meat rest before you cut into it?

looks good except it seems you forgot to cook it

>>677740550
what are you talking about, that's a nice sear.

Looks too pink and undercooked I would eat it but I'd have to microwave it for like 3 more mins. But still looks good tho

>>677740430
I didn't wait

You didn't dry the meat good enough to get a good sear

>>677740686

Do it.

Cook the meat, let it sit for 5 minutes, then cut into it.

Is it really that bad to reheat something in microwave?

>>677741283
You are supposed to dry all of the water off of the steak before it hits the pan or it doesn't sear well. I usually cook steak in oven at 250 for 20 min, then dry salt and pan sear with cast iron 3 min per side

>microwaving a steak let alone a filet mignon

The fucks the matter with you?

>>677741108

Yeah, that is a real thing. Searing the meat seals in the juices but still dehydrates the meat on the outside - by forcing the juices inwards. If you do let it rest all of these tasty and delicious juices will come pouring out onto your plate. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes under some tin foil and these juices will work their way back through all of the steak with no pressure build up in the center. You will have a delicious, juicy steak right to the last bite. Google it. It's a thing.

I would've cooked it some more but if you like it rare go for it.
Also if you want it super tender put a slice of butter on it as it cooks

>>677741818
This is true

>>677741818

Typo. If you *don't let it rest all of these juices will pour out. Fuck that shit

>>677741818
Searing sealing in juices is a myth

I usually put the rub on and leave in the fridge overnight in a baggie.

>>677741739
It didn't have water on it.

>>677740325
to under coocked for my liking

The meats juices on it are water. You have to dry with paper towels before searing

>>677740325
Looks pretty nice man, could maybe do with being a bit rarer so the blood pours out as you carve into it but it still looks nice

>>677740686
please light yourself on fire.

>>677741701
Yes, microwaves are good for cheap quick meals like spaghettios not real food like steak.
The reason why is because microwaves don't cook food, they just agitate the water molecules in your food until they heat up instead of applying natural heat to the dish. This is why hotpockets are famous for being frozen I'm the middle and why they come with that little cardboard bed to further distribute the heat more evenly.
You cook steak on a grill because you have more control over your heat distribution without ruining the texture of your dish

>>677742405
I usually go for medium rare but this was the first time I've cooked a steak this thick.

>>677740967
>Cook the meat, let it get cold, then cut into it.

I'll pass.

>>677742088
Sear or not, letting it rest is real. Even if it had no dear, cutting into immediately after removing it from the heat makes the meat piss out all of is juices. You niggerfaggot.

>>677741818
I always thought it was because the meat tenses up when applied to extreme heat, so its more tender after you let it rest

>>677742671
I would still eat it but for my liking I would have cooked it a bit longer

>>677742712
when the meat starts to cool it reabsorbs some of the lost liquid and you end up with a superior product

>>677742577
microwaves do cook food, just not evenly, and not in an appetizing way

>>677741818
searing doesn't actually effect moisture content, but it does give it a superior texture and flavor.

>>677742712
actually it's not all that bad.
it tends to be at the perfect eating temperature if you cook it medium and let it sit for 5 mins like anon said.

fucking plebs with their dry as fuck overcooked shit tier steaks
the only way to make it worse would be to add ketchup

Secret to a juicy steak: boil it until 165° F while you are boiling, heat a pan. Just before your steak is at optimum temperature, oil your pan. Pull the steak straight from the pot directly into the pan and sear to lock in the juices.

>>677744638
This.jpg

Fill your biggest pot with water, bring to 133 degrees. Find out what to leave the stove on to have tenperature of water remain at 133. Use a cooking thermometer for example. Maybe it'll require you to have the stove on 2 for 5 mins, then 3 for 5 mins, back to 2 again, over and over.

Put meat in plastic bag, submerge plastic bag in water (keep opening over water) to let air out, tie up bag. Drop bag in heated water, leave for 2-3 hours. Give meat a quick sear before serving. Remember to let it rest for a couple of minutes.

Google sous vide, never turn back.

Shit steaks anyway

How do y'all cook steak?
I do it like this.. but looking for a better way
> apply olive oil and rub night before, store in fridge
> take meat out an hour before cooking to warm up
> cast iron pan, very hot
> splash of olive oil, toss in meat
> fresh thyme, fresh garlic, some quality butter
> dont turn it much, toss in oven to cook center

It comes out ok, but not great. Garlic and herbs get burnt to a crisp. Steak is unevenly cooked.

Maybe this is not the most objective source, but I found others as well.

I prefer butter though, tastewise.

>>677743525

uhhhhhhhhhhhh, learn some shit. A microwave is an oscilating electromagnetic wave. Water molecules are polar in nature and the wave, which switches from a positive charge to a negative charge, cause the water molecules to flip over and over, thus heating and cooking whatever it is you want. It's cooking. If we're going to split hairs over the definition of cooking then this is retarded.

The steak looks like it turned out ok, but frankly the side dish of maggots looks like they could use more seasoning. If you don't mind me sharing a pro tip, you should scream insults at your steak for at least an hour to make sure it's properly tenderized.

>>677747033
Honestly, get this:
http://www.amazon.com/Sansaire-Sous-Immersion-Circulator-Black/dp/B00KSFAB74

I use it, perfect steaks, fish, chicken etc, with no effort. Vacuum meat in bag, throw in for a couple of hours, sear at high temp for a really short time, and you have perfect meat.

>>677740325
Too under-cooked for me but next if you seer your steak then cover it and let it sit out until it is completely room temperature your steak will be cooked more evenly.

>>677747033
Yes, those ones, you should use just 1-2 drips of oil (as neutral in taste as possible) to 100% avoid sticking

>>677747561
No, but the general consensus is that olive oil don't take high heat very well, it changes in taste and this taste affects the meat being cooked. I have always been told to use rapeseed, sunflower or similar oils for cooking. Olive for salads, garniture etc.

>>677744720

>>677749584
Takes time, but you can leave it to itself. Just throw it in there a couple of hours before the meal, and go do something else.

You can try once using the method described earlier, big pot with lots of water (takes long to change temp) and monitor temperature every 5-10 minute, adjust.

> use fresh thyme and crushed garlic cloves to season the butter/oil mixture.
> rest for 5 minutes and slice.

If for flavour:
If flavours aren't oil soluble, then broil in marinade for 30 seconds a side after frying to one level before required done-ness. (If oil soluble, then low temp cook herbs / spices in a 4:1 ratio of butter/oil for 2 minutes before adding steak)

If for tenderness (i.e you have shit-tier / un-aged steak):
Pro-tip: rest steak in between bruised papaya leaves overnight before cooking.

cover it in tinfoil on a ceramic plate, dumb ass. doesn't get cold at all.

and 10 - 15 min has always worked better on the lean cuts for me.

aside from that, it actually looks well done - you know, not "well done", like, good job, and it is probably pretty good tasting. thumbs up to OP, if this is you.

honestly this sounds like it could do well for a ribeye roast.

fuck yes I make that shit. cube steak is the best fried-steak cut ever rand it;s literally the meat that's too shit to stuff into hamburger even.

>>677749913
DON'T use extra virgin olive oil for frying ANY damned thing!
Extra virgin must be used raw. Standard cheap-ass olive oil fries beautifully.
Pro-tip: If you dont know which you have, look at the colour, the greener the olive oil, the less suitable for frying.

>>677753436
haha thats pretty fun

my favorite cut is skirt steak. so much flavor and still considered as a "cheap" cut.

if you do it, for the love of god, do not use diet root beer otherwise the whole thing will taste like shit.
also, be sure to use whatever kind of root beer you like if you like a certain kind, because it will reflect in the meat's flavor.
otherwise, go nuts.

>>677753313
all supermarket steaks are wet aged for 10 - 15 days min. the vacuum packing/shipping/storing process that 99% of American beef undergoes before reaching the end user constitutes a relatively decent wet aging process.

this is part of the reason that supermarket beef cannot be truly dry aged. if you're about to claim that you have, then you;re full of shit,, and the only you;re fooling is yourself.

>>677753470
and then there's that guy
>>677753975
For cooking I'd always reccomend dark beer

>>677749421
>>677746364

use veggie oil in pan. if you're oven finishing, as you would if you're masterrace easting masterrace steak, searing in veggie oil in heavy bottom pan, then brushing on butter as that bitches slides into the oven gives you restaurant finish steak. which isn't necessarily great steak, it's just how they do it at most decent restaurants. adding the butter at the oven stage still lets you get the flavor without caramelizing/buring the butter in the searing process.

>>677753151
Because this is how I learned to cook a steak. I've never had a better steak cooked any other way, so I don't change it.

>>677754048
>not buying your cuts from the butcher

>>677754511
>butcher is like 45 mins away
>steak from him tastes on par with costco steak
>costco is 10 mins away and significantly cheaper

>>677749767
Why not?

>>677754511
yeah, hate to break this to you, but there's no way in hell your butcher is selling you meat that's still under rigor mortis. unless they're specifically selling you a dry aged cut, you;re still buying a wet-aged cut. and if they're selling you a dry aged cut, well, then that's awesome, and I have no complaints. a lot of butchers don;t have the room in their store to do it properly on large volumes of beef and bullshit it or just straight up lie..

>>677754114

This;; guy,,, (Seriously, are you borrowing a friend with MD's keyboard?)
A) Not American
B) Don't you have butcheries in your country?
C) Who said it needs to be dry aged? Leave the fucking thing in a warmer drawer for 30 minutes, and its dry (and warm) enough to cook.

>>677754924
found the cuck. enjoy your bitter, shitty, overrated steak.

Would this be a good time to bring up the idea that choosing to be a chef is a HORRIBLE career choice? Some of you actually went to school(and paid tuition) to do this?

Looks like you cooked it to 115-120F. You really want it closer to 125F (130F max limit) for optimum taste.

Get a reliable meat thermometer and try both temps and see which consistency you prefer. Take temp no more than twice. You don't wanna poke too many holes in it and let the moisture out. Looks good anon.

>>677740325

Here's a tip OP. Pick up the steak, give it a good slap and pick it back up. Then put the meat next to your ear. You should still hear the cow mooing because that shit is not cooked kek

Whatever faggot I usually do it with a pretty balanced IPA. Sorry your palate is so young and garbage all you taste is bitter.

>>677755227
Most good chefs I know love to prepare food and hate their customers for their bullshit orders like well done steaks or even actually wanting ketchup to roasted pork

>>677755176
my apostrophe key is broken so i use the semicolon to avoid the grammar Nazis from flipping out over your-you;re bullshit

aside from that, the guy in the post i responded to was clearly baging on supermarket stakes for being "shit tier" or "un-aged", which is crap.

and I;m high, so i thought I was heading off his argument about dry aging, but in retrospect, i might have been overzealous.

>>677755227
Yup, it's on par with acting / singing as a career choice, you are HIGHLY unlikely to get rich, but you get to do what you love.
Depends on what makes you happy, I guess.

>>677756123
>>677755994

>Being a cannibal wannabe

Just eat the raw fucking meat then.

I came here to eat food, not trash.

A good way to make good food is throw water on it, then put it in the microwave, i do it with steak because it really brings the flavor out, but because it generates high amount of lulz.

>>677756373
who the fuck eats steak well done?
you cook all the flavor out that way and if you have leftovers and reheat it, it tastes like total shit.

>>677756373
Eating raw meat is considered as a very high standard of eating meat, ever heard of tartar or carpaccio?

>>677756259
But getting revenge on waiters is so satisfying. There was a waiter who stole everything he deemed valuable enough, end of the story was that we placed a heated coin on a table, he flicked it in his pocket, got burned an pulled down his pants in front of the customers. Then he got fired

>>677756067
There are sweeter IPAs that have more unfermented sugars that caramelize nicely in beef. I appreciate all styles of beer asshole. Most of the shit Germans export to the US is piss btw, step your export game up if you want anyone to give a shit about your beer anywhere but Germany.
How many different beers have you even had?

>>677756373
>but because it generates high amount of lulz.

Seriously? couldn't keep the facade going a little while longer?

goddamn trolls are getting lazy. i was really looking to lay into a well-done-fag tonight, too

>>677755556
All fair enough :)
Supermarket steaks ARE shit tier, but they are always extremely well (normally wet) aged for that exact reason.

The reason switching aging doesn't work, is that once you have portion sized cuts, you'll dry out the meat before it ages properly.

>>677755520
>>677755610
More or less reiterates my point: what you produce is a temporary product that will literally be shit in 12 hours. There's a good reason Gordon Ramsey is such an asshole- his work is meaningless. A chef's best work is forgotten and gone in a matter of hours.

question to all chefs in this thread;
do you guys eat like shit when it comes to personal meals?
not dates or family or anything, but just cooking for yourself.
I'd imagine, spending all day making these nice-ass effort-intensive meals, and then knowing that when you get home you have to do it again, would drive someone to eat fast food every time they could.

>>677740325
Motherfucking perfection.
[spoiler] Looks like making out with Heidi Klum.[/spoiler]

>>677756726
yeah, revenge can be fairly satisfying, i'll give you that.

we used to wipe butter on the bottom side of the plate's edges, so that when the waiter went to pull the off the tray and give them to the customer, the plate slipped and fell in customer lap. fucking hilarious.

>>677755994
i dont know why u faggots like eating undercooked shit. well done is the real thing.

>>677753436
IIRC most traditional recipes for foods that aren't eaten by anyone who's an aristocrat usually call for cheapass cuts because that's what the people had on hand almost all of the time.

if it isn't well done it isn't a proper steak

>>677757008
Best thing is when one of the waiters is ill and there's noone there to fill in and you just let them have the marathon of their lives and when your job is done they are still running around in panic and you can lean back and relax

>>677756796

I like my steak medium.
that's far from raw.
keep perpetuating your fallacy though.
>>677757423
yeah, I understand that.
just like being a mechanic and dealing with customers and shit is totally different from working on your own vehicle.
there's just this big stereotype that all that chefs personally eat is lunchables, ramen, and hamburger helper.

>>677757560
I'd assume chefs just oversample the stuff they make and the work of those around them really

>>677757465
haha yes, that is pretty funny. waiters used to fuck each other over like this all the time, claiming to be "sick."

this could backfire tho. had one total bitch of waitress end up with three sections one night, and by some fucking miracle, all the tables were turn-and-burns and were all nice to her for some reason, all paid in cash. she ran a marathon but she ended up with 1000 in cash tips, lucky bitch. no splitting of that shit, went straight into her pocket. told the manger some sob story about how everyone had hated her and hadn't tipped at all.

It's kinda dog shit mate. Center looks beautiful but the variation of doneness is ridiculous. I don't really know how you did that. I recommend you sear in a pan then pop it in the oven at high heat for like 8 minutes

Well goodnight /b/ thanks for feedback

>>677758131
The place I work right now is actually pretty decent with tips and our boss makes sure the kitchen workes get their share, too. Only since a new bitch started working as waitress the tips magically dropped.
Also she is to damn stupid to bring five dishes in a reasonable time to the customers and then reacts bitchy if we tell her that she has to be faster because hot dishes tend to get cold over time.
