I like medium, but I can't cook a tender steak no matter how many methods I use. The meat ends up tasting good, but hard to chew.

:mjcry:

My parents put A1 on their steaks tho

4 minutes of high heat on one side in a buttered skillet, sea salt and pepper, 3 minutes on the other. In the oven for however long it takes scramble some eggs, to clean the stove top, do dishes and pour a red. :blessed:

Shytty preparation

1. 4 min on each side??? Too long... especially if you’re working with a thin steak. A 1.5-2 really only needs 2 minutes MAX per side

2. That butter will burn on high heat the moment you put it in the pan... use clarified butter or ghee if you want to oil the pan with butter...

3. If you season with salt AFTER the steak is in the pan the salt will not penetrate the steak... season with salt and pepper and let the steak sit and come to room temp an HOUR before it hits the pan, and pat the moisture off the steak to ensure a crust when you sear the steak... seasoning with salt beforehand draws out the moisture... excess moisture gives you a steak without a crust...

4. If you put that steak in the oven after the way you cook it, it will be done way too much... after the steak has been seared on both sides, and has been basted with fresh butter (put in after both sides are seared and the temp turned halfway) take the steak out of the pan and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes... after 5 minutes THEN you can cut into the steak...

Medium rare to medium depending on the quality of the beef.

Get the stove heated

Let it sit at room temperature

Rub olive oil directly on the steak (not in the pan)

cook 3.5 to 4 minutes, flip and repeat

add a tablespoon of butter towards the end

let it rest on a plate and :eat:


The only time to ever cut into the steak is after it's cooked or it'll lose all of tenderness

Medium ribeye is OK, but IMO it’s best when medium rare. Most like ribeye medium rare.

The extra fat is the best part of the steak. If you want a flavorful cut of steak you WANT the cut to be heavily marbles with fat...



I can cook steak properly, and bro... well done sucks... you might as well eat a leather jacket.

i like the fat which is why i prefer ribeye but undercooked fat is gross to chew. it's too chewy and jelly like. i prefer having fat where i can chew and it falls apart. now i want a steak y'all:takedat:
