For all things STEAK related. Pics, recipes, hints and tips, articles, anything about tasty cuts of beef cooked to perfection!

Please use IMGUR when uploading original content for others to drool over.

When posting pictures, please also provide some information. Like what you've done or what you plan on doing to the steak.

PLEASE REMEMBER everyone likes their steak cooked differently. Medium steaks may be overcooked to some or undercooked to others. It's personal preference and it's all good!!


Here's a good guide to illustrate different grades of steak


Different Cuts Of Beef

Primal Cuts These are the cuts from the initial butchering process.

Retail Cuts The primal cuts are then cut further to look like something you will probably recognise as steak.


Temperature/"Doneness"

First time prime rib

24 hr dry brine, 4 hours in the oven @175 . Pulled it at 130 and let it rest for 30 min then put back into the oven @475 for 8 min. It was absolutely phenomenal.

Can't get a good crust when reverse searing

I'm really not sure why I struggle with this but taking filet mignon out of the oven after reverse searing the steak is just too damn wet to establish a good crust, even if I put it on a scolding hot cast iron. This is even more true after I flip it, when more moisture has accumulated on the unseared side.

As a result I end up having to cook it in the pan for quite a while, which typically overshoots the temperature. I can obviously take it out of the oven sooner to compensate but I wonder if there's any obvious steps I may be missing? Too much oil? Seasoning the steak too soon?

Thanks in advance!

Why does the oil in my stainless steel sautee pan always pool around the edges of the pan?

This is a calphalon triply stainless pan and I have noticed fat and liquid will pool around the edges when frying or sautéing. Searing a steak for reference. My oven and cook top are level. I’m hunting for a deal on a 12in stainless frying pan and often see the same issue with my Lodge 12in cast iron. Is this normal for CI and SS cookware or possible warped? Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Is this normal?

I’ve been trying to buy better quality meat & I bought this grass-fed sirloin today. I can’t tell if this is fat or part of the packaging. It’s not peeling off easily…

Question

Ive just started dry brining steak and want to reverse sear it but I cant get it to be medium rare . Does anyone have any tips for reverse searing a dry brined steak like does it cook faster? Im using a recipe that says to cook it at 250 for 25 minutes for rare ( its a recipe for a 1.5-2.0 inch but I prefer denver cut and only can find 1 inch) also any tips for the searing part would be helpful as im new to steaks .

36 Day Aged Aberdeen Angus Sirloin

Picked this up from Aldi for only £5.69. Probably one of the best places to get consistently good steak in the UK.
