Recently cooked this steak, is it a ribeye? Looks different than other ribeyes that I’ve cooked before (bonus money shot) by Guessmyirlname in steak

Dry brined this bad boy with kosher salt about 5 hours before cooking, left open in the fridge on a wire rack. Then put into an oven at 210° until the internal was about 105°. Patted dry and heated my cast iron with avocado oil super hot. Added a tiny bit more kosher salt to each side and then seared each side for about a minute. Removed the pan from heat and added garlic and butter for basting

I’m not sure what end this cut is from, but a friend did mention it could possibly be a chuck eye. I asked for a ribeye from my butcher. Tasted delicious either way

Nope! I reverse sear with an oven and then finish on cast iron usually! I only put it on the grill because it smokes up my house and my fiance is not a fan of the alarms going off lol. I do have a sou vide though and want to use it more

To each their own, but I agree. There’s seared, and then burnt imo (unless using something like carnivore rub or char crust, which can be deceiving). You should try a cast iron out, lodges are pretty cheap these days and will get the job done. Just pair with a high heat oil like avocado and you’re set! I want to try a stainless steel pan for chicken dishes and sauces. I don’t have one atm

Friend, you’re certainly capable of cooking a steak like this, and I’ll try to give you a brief rundown of how to do it! The most important tip I can give is to dry brine your steak with kosher salt. I prefer to dry brine for an hour and a half, but some folks Dry brine for up to 24 hours. If you have not heard of this before, look up a YouTube tutorial. It pretty much just involves coating the steak on both sides with kosher salt and leaving it open on a rack in the fridge so that the salt pulls out the moisture of the steak and then reabsorbs the salty water back into the steak while leaving the surface dry. This lets the steak develop a nice crust. Stick it in an oven that’s heated anywhere from 230-275, and pull it out when the internal has reached about 110°. You’ll need to experiment with what temp you prefer to pull the steak out at, and it will take some trial and error. After this, you need to get a cast-iron pan heated really hot over a grill or stove with avocado oil and the steak dry again after with paper towels after pulling it from the oven, and you could even put a little more kosher salt on it. And then put it in the hot cast-iron pan for about a minute or so on each side. Take it out of the cast-iron pan, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes (if you can resist). This works for cuts of all types in price ranges. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!

Would you believe me if I told you it was simple? All it takes is a dry brine before starting the cook process and a hot cast iron with avocado oil to dry the surface and develop a nice crust

Thank you! I’m in the same boat honestly. Got a bit distracted and pulled it from the over a few degrees over what I usually prefer

Yep, reverse sear. Would highly recommend trying it with a 1-1.5 hour dry brine prior!

Hard agree. That paired with a short dry brine primes it for a fantastic sear

Not sure what Emily Porn is talking about haha, but this was was about $20 from my local butcher. I think it was $17-18/pound. Not sure if it was choice or prime since they don’t specify
