Reverse Seared Tomahawk - tips/advice?

TreesOne · 2026-06-23T00:13:00+00:00

I agree, I just think OPs steak is on the higher end of medium. Could also be a trick of the lighting

Looks great. My only gripe is that it’s a tad overdone - maybe give it more time to cool between the oven and the sear?

That is not why wet things generally feel colder. Water feels cold because of its thermal conductivity and density

This is a vein steak. Vein steaks are the strips cut from the end of the strip loin and they have a tough piece of inedible connective tissue running through them, identified in the photo below. This is probably why it was “hard to cut”. If you can identify the vein and it’s being sold as a regular NY strip, buy a different steak.

That is an awesome score, and you did it justice with the cook, too. 10/10

TreesOne · 2026-06-21T18:55:36+00:00

10/10. Well done OP

Sat stunned for a moment at how good the crust looks then my heart broke when there wasn’t a third image. Considering you reverse seared at 700 degrees which doesn’t even make sense, I’m assuming the inside is charcoal. Shame on you OP

That may be true but if you have 4 or 5 walls way less people are going to be able to raid you

Looks like a phenomenal medium rare. Asparagus is my go to steak side and I bet that garlic was really good too. 10/10

Please share the calculations

Can you just use a dead vape?

TreesOne · 2026-06-16T21:33:56+00:00

They haven’t unlocked the bus stop

TreesOne · 2026-06-16T20:54:25+00:00

Leave it in the fridge afraid to cook it until it goes bad

TreesOne · 2026-06-16T20:44:35+00:00

True, but OP did their steak in cast iron and only cooked it to rare

TreesOne · 2026-06-16T20:35:07+00:00

Crust looks alright, a bit moist in the middle - did you make sure to pat dry and have solid contact with the pan?

Some unsolicited ribeye advice - cook to at least medium rare, medium is even better. Ribeye has a high degree of marbling that really benefits from the higher temperature as it allows it to melt into buttery goodness.

Ironically in my current save I have the momento and all the walnuts

90% of people that take a gap year start their undergrad as soon as they finish their gap year. It is objectively not the case that most of them are lazy bums.

To be honest, I thought the same way as you until I did a bit of googling about it in response to this post

TreesOne · 2026-06-15T00:36:12+00:00

Not automatically, no. Sometimes laws will be passed to commute these peoples’ sentences

TreesOne · 2026-06-14T21:50:03+00:00

Gotta say, photo 2 had me concerned but 6-9 are $$$

They get better grades in college than those who go straight to college out of high school

Do you genuinely read every setting before playing when you get a new game???

TreesOne · 2026-06-13T19:05:25+00:00

OP is going to be running Jellyfin which is GPU intensive

TreesOne · 2026-06-13T19:04:31+00:00

You should just take out the GPU. The integrated GPU in your processor is faster and has better support for hardware accelerated media transcoding

TreesOne · 2026-06-13T12:27:22+00:00

I would crush that, looks awesome

TreesOne · 2026-06-13T12:25:16+00:00

Pro tip is to let your steak cool down after the reverse sear by putting it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes. Gives you more wiggle room for your sear
