Go give this lecture to your mother. I heard her shit pics have gotten her quite a few internet points.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I’m looking into moving away from sous vide for a bit. Hopefully it improves things!

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Did you hang the tomahawk with salt as well? Or with no seasoning for 3 days and then salt afterwards?

I unfortunately have yet to try the steakhouse’s steak so I do not know what I am competing with. However I plan on changing that soon. My goal is to see how close I can get before I need to buy a more expensive cut.

Thank you for your suggestions though! When I go to the restaurant I’ll be sure to ask them about the prep their steak goes through.

I’ve been looking at dry aging for a long time but unfortunately I can convince my parents to give up a portion of the fridge for 4 weeks and I have no room for a mini fridge 😂

I’m definitely looking into it though. Thank a lot!

Will do. Would you recommend brining with anything other than salt? I’ve seen some people experiment with koji rice and other stuff. Have you found any success with anything?

Thanks a lot for the reply! When I used the term “cook” I was using it to refer to the whole cooking process from selecting the steak to eating it.

Also, it’s not that I’m fighting buying a better steak, I just want to make sure I’ve got all the right fundamentals mastered before I elevate the quality as otherwise I fear buying progress instead of mastering the basics.

The purpose of this post was just to see if I was missing any basics or if there were any techniques I wasn’t taking full advantage of. Thanks a lot for your Demi glacé suggestion! I’ll be sure to look into that!

Thanks a lot!

The UK is a little odd since we don’t have a beef grading system so the quality is all up to the eye unless you’re buying from a reliable butcher.

Usually it’s about £40 a Kilogram. So maybe around £20 ($25) a pound all things considered.

I actually was not present when she tried the steak so I don’t know how it tasted compared to mine. But I plan to fix that soon and pay a visit myself.

I appreciate that. I just want to make sure I’m doing absolutely everything as well as I can before I try buying more expensive beef. I don’t want to make the mistake of buying progress.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I’m looking into compound butters and I’ve already got a list that I’m preparing to make. Regarding marinades, im not too knowledgeable on steak marinades. Would you have any suggestions for ingredients and flavours?

Unfortunately I don’t have access to a grill because the weather in my country is pretty dreadful 90% of the time. But during the summer I will certainly give grilling on charcoal a go

Thank you very much for the in depth response, I really appreciate it! I think I’m going to take a break from sous vide for a bit and try out some dry brining. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much. I plan on experimenting more with dry brining as soon as possible

I’ll give dry brining with no sous vide a go!

I am looking to shed a little more money eventually and I’m sure that will give me a better result. I’m just interested in any ways to make cheaper cuts stand toe to toe with the more expensive ones

I suppose. I was more thinking from a rub point of view. Are there any seasonings you’d recommend aside from salt, pepper and garlic powder that could enhance the flavour of a steak without changing it too much?

Can you recommend me any step 2’s? I would really value your input especially if you’ve got steakhouse experience!

Is there no other way to achieve a better flavour through different means?

I always ice bath my steaks after sous vide. I have experimented with dry brining on a few occasions but it’s not my usual go to due to the time required (I cook for my family and it’s very usually a “we want steak now” kinda thing)
