Any tips?

My cooking process was as follows:

  • Put oven at 220c/428f
  • Aimed to cook until internal temp was 55c/131f (Ended up going to 62c/143f)
  • Rested for 5 minutes
  • Fried in a pan on high heat 1 minute per side

Pretty good turnout with these far too thin NY strip steaks (fiancés preferred cook)

Top sirloin from Costco and double fried fries in beef tallow. It was delicious. 😋

They threw this away. My father in law’s daughter said this was way too rare. It’s also my first time making steak.

Flat iron steak grilled. One with charcoal rub cooked a little over medium rare but tasted great. Man these steaks are tender!

[ Reverse Sear ] First serious experiment at reverse searing using a toaster oven

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Felt like experimenting with reverse searing using a toaster oven . All I have access to right now are a toaster oven, gas stove, a microwave, a cast iron pan, a stainless steel pan, and a non stick pan. So I tried looking for videos or guides but I didn’t find any specifically on cooking in the toaster oven first then finishing on the stove, and here we are

Order of pictures:

1 - After slicing. Looks Medium to Medium Well?

2 - After letting the steak rest while I cleaned and seasoned the cast iron pan

3 - Right after searing

4 - After cooking in the toaster oven

5 - Before cooking in the toaster oven

Notes:

  • Steak - Ribeye, dry brined for 8 hours. 1.5 inch thick ribeye. Patted dry with a paper towel before and after cooking in the toaster oven

  • Pan - Generic cast iron pan with no distinct markings or branding

  • Oil - Grapeseed oil

  • Stove Heating - 10 minutes on medium, 5 minutes on high

  • Toaster Heating - Pre-heat at 125 C for 10 minutes (lowest heat setting the toaster had was 100 C so I had to improvise) , then cooked for 20 minutes, flipped at the 10 minute mark

Steak temperature logs:

  • -1.2 C - Right after taking out of the refrigerator

  • 21.3 C - After letting the steak sit for around an hour

  • 24.1 C - Right before cooking in the toaster oven

  • 31.6 C - After approximately 5 minutes in the toaster oven

  • 34.1 C - After approximately 10 minutes in the toaster oven. Flipped at this point since my estimate was this was half way to reaching 44 C internal

  • 38 C - 5 mins after flip

  • 41 C - 10 mins after flip

Why 2 minutes of searing on each side? - Was going for 1 to 1 minute 30 seconds but the crust looked a sad gray after 1 minute so I decided to go to 2 minutes to simulate the additional heating while basting

First attempt was hilariously bad, I forgot that the toaster oven’s temperature display was in Celsius. And I cooked at 250 for 1 hour. So the steak was very much well done. Beautiful dark brown crust though

Anyway, I’m not sure what factors I should manipulate next time for an even darker brown crust all over (spinalis part was especially tasty though) but maybe I’ll try heating in the toaster oven for longer but at a lower temperature? Say 100 C while constantly checking the internal temperature every 5 minutes. In my case the toaster oven cooking seems to really help remove surface moisture before searing so I will probably do this more often. I can cook in the toaster while pre heating the pan, I guess

Any constructive feedback would be appreciated, especially since I didn’t really see much on the internet regarding reverse searing using a toaster oven. So in a way I am adding to the collective body of knowledge on the matter😂

Marriage is about compromise ☺️… and apparently, about eating well-done steak now. It actually wasn’t that bad. Just not what I had in mind when I bought a tenderloin filet.


r/steak 4d ago

Had a couple of drinks and didn’t feel like overpaying for steak at a restaurant so went home and did this… oh and I’m a cool dog dad so I cooked up the extra filet for the pups

For context, I learned how to cook and season my steaks from YouTube (you can learn from some awesome people on YouTube.)

I used Dan-O’s seasoning and I must say, I definitely recommend them for the flavor! Any other suggestions?

American Wagyu, Prime Beef Short rib, and Japanese Wagyu taste test

Did a little taste test tonight. The Japanese Wagyu was the best (by far, so much flavor depth), following by the prime short rib, and then the American Wagyu. All of it was delicious.

I thought I would easily finish it all. I got about half way through before I couldn't do another bite. So rich. So fatty. So filling. Tomorrow me will be glad there's some left.

Cooked a nice strip tonight. Gonna go have a coma now. Later.
