Are those from grill or stove top? How do you make them taste good? Im really bad at cooking steaks at home without grill. For some reason my last steaks had too much beef after taste, and I bought some quality organic stuff

I sear on a hot cast iron skillet for about 1-2min per side, initially with a little avocado oil, then I add butter and herbs for flavor. Then I put the entire skillet in the oven at like 300F for 5-10 min depending on steak thickness. I'll usually baste and flip the steak at least once or twice while in the oven. When I'm ready to take it out, I'll usually baste it lightly one more time while letting it rest for a solid 5-10 min.

The latest one from Saturday.

^ Thanks. I'll try that some day....when I'll be able to find some organic meat here. Shelves are still pretty empty in meat departments (at least where I shop)

Wow that looks gooooooood!!!! How long do you cook at 300F for if the steak was 1-1.5” thick?

Thanks.
The real decider is the Thermapen. I measure the temp regularly and pull it out 5-7 degrees below my target temp.

Now don't you be checking your own temp with that...Covid or not.

Side note: Now that we cook dinner pretty much every damn nite it's getting to be a PIA. Usually we can break it up with 3-4 outdoor meals or leftovers from outdoor meals but for now we want to stay pretty isolated until things change. I also don't have much time to learn new meals so it's getting a bit stale!

Too much opening and closing of the oven. Get one of these for that and just put in the probe and set target - https://www.thermoworks.com/ChefAlar...tity=1&color=2

I agree... except for a steak I'm basting and flipping anyway. In the end it's about the tools I have on hand. Stop tempting me to buy more stuff!

Wireless would be nice, but after trying several various types of thermometers from a variety of brands, I only really trust Thermoworks for accuracy and quality at this point.

Another monster (20oz) Prime NY Strip is getting ready! Going to do my usual brown rice with roasted asparagus as sides.

Got down with some St. Louis cut ribs. Smoked for 2 hours, wrapped for another hour and a half. Collected the 'drippings' reduced them with some ketchup while the ribs rested (and some were eaten...).

Then put the ribs on the grill for some char, and to set the glaze.

FWIW, I prefer baby backs...

Even though I'm turning 49 today, I'm lucky enough to have my mother still cooking me whatever I want for my birthday. Because of social distancing, this year she sent me a small pan of uncooked lasagna along with some meatballs and some extra gravy. I've been looking forward to this for days.

In Joisy they call red sauce "gravy." Just letting everyone else on the West Coast know...

Not sure yet. Probably leftovers.
