So… when are you buying another chunk of beef? Was it worth the time and effort? ---

I’ll do this again. I didn’t really take much effort. Waiting sucks, but DEFINITELY worth it. It would be nice to get a cycle going…have another piece aging while i work through the cut meat. ---

Should have sliced off a steak when it was fresh to get a feel for the improvement. But that looks fantastic. +75 man points. ---

Dude, best way for medium rare is HIGH heat. Blast the outsides for just a few minutes each side. It works awesome. ---

goddamn man nicely done. when I cook a steak, I turn the grill on high for 5-8 minutes, then throw it on, than turn it on the lowest setting. I like my steaks seared on the outsides, but almost uncooked on the inside. mmmmmmmm ---

All this work and no mention that the proper way to cook a steak is not using the grill? Sure its fun, but the best results will come from a combo of the stove and the oven and a large cast iron skillet. Looks good though, makes me want a steak. ---

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! [SIZE=2]first of all…walter was correct (as always). To be honest, i never even gave the grill a 2nd thought because it just seemed so unquestionable. However, every fine steak i ever order is pan seared. the grill just seemed more manly i guess. Anyways… I used the skillet this time. With butter i spiced it up with salt and various peppers (chili, chipotle, black). Brought the pan up to a high heat and seared both sides for about 2 minutes then turned the temperature to a low heat. Left it on low for about 2 minutes just to give it some time to heat up the inside then pulled it off. ![http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10368&stc=1&d=1249951565](http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10368&stc=1&d=1249951565) For me…it was cooked ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

That’s a little rare for me, but I’d still eat it and love every bite. I’d get the oven hot, get the skillet hot but not high-heat hot, toss the steak on with a bunch of butter, give it a min or two, flip it then immediately stick it in the oven to finish. Works best with a thick steak or else the oven step will just be overcooking it. No mushrooms and onions lightly sauteed in olive oil and salt no care. :mad: Although with a steak like this I would feel bad adding anything to mask the pure cow taste. So maybe not.
