    Hey, just want to share my first steak experience. No grill so I used the pan. Cut is bone in ribeye, 1.4 lb. Took a lot of suggestions by well known people before attempting this.

    Onion, garlic, balsamic and white wine for the sauce. I'd have used Red as suggested by Marco, but dont have any. The egg because no butter for that "nutty" flavor as said Ramsay.

    In total I'd say something like 8 buck: 5.50 for the steak, 1 egg, 1 onion, balsamic, white wine, etc rounded up to 8 even.

    Does /ck/ approve??


    Excuse my camera skill or lackof.

    7/10, not bad for your first try.
    what doneness did you aim for and how close did you get?

    Medium, medium well. The thickest part limbo between medium and medium rare, while the thinner are definitely medium.

    The egg is indeed overcooked. Still some yolk there, just 3/4 are solid.

    > steak overcooked
    >Ribeye is best to fry for it's fat content, which carries flavor, I see no reason why you raped it with onion, garlic balsamc and shit
    > egg overcooked, yolk should be runny to dip the steak in.

    4/10

    If you don't have a grill use a pan to sear the steak and then put it in the oven at 400 degrees F.

    Your mistakes have already been pointed out, so I'll just say not bad for your first go.

    I doubt it needs all of that onion and garlic though.
    >> zorz !!CqAF5u8VcWt 05/09/12(Wed)22:44 No.3603862
    The sides aren't evenly cooked. Considering what you were aiming for, you might just want to keep it on a bit longer, and maybe turn the heat down a bit. I KNOW everyone says to sear that sucker fast as possible, but those people are generally considering medium rare as the target, and they NEED to get the outside seared and colored quickly before they heat the inside too much. You have plenty of color here, and heat can only penetrate a steak so fast.

    The surface looks freaking charred to shit.

    What heat source are you sing? A electrical stove or a gas one?

    Lawl, thanks guys

    I am using gas so heat was not a problem. The surface was crunchy but not charred. The char impression is just my shitty photography. That side is actually the good side. I felt the other side was not caramelized enough. Regardless the crunchiness was kinna neat.

    I did lay it on the side to cook the fat ring and whatnot. Gordon emphasized that in his vids a lot so wasnt hard to miss. Matter of fact, the meat on the side were near welldone. Still nice though.

    Egg is overcook no doubt cause I didnt know wtf I was doing with the sauce - cook and recook it like thrice. Wouldnt have bother if I had butter handy.

    soy sauce with salt&pepper, sex in your mouth.
    >> Anonymous 05/10/12(Thu)00:43 No.3604034
    you overcooked it. next time skip the egg, onions, and sauce and keep it simple. stick with gordon's simple instructions in the f-word perfect steak video. also i'm perplexed how you managed to get it "crunchy". it may help if you find a butcher who will hand cut you a thicker steak. 1 1/2 to 2" should be minimum. and of course you will want to cook that the day you buy it (ie do not EVER freeze a steak or cook from frozen).
    >> Anonymous 05/10/12(Thu)01:21 No.3604098
    The steak itself looks fine just remove the rest of the shit on the plate and put some A1 on that sumbitch. Seriously, the slice of watermelon>all that shit.
    >> James Baker 05/10/12(Thu)01:29 No.3604112
    Let me ask YOU a question OP - how did it taste?

    The meat itself is done the way I like, and I always overcook the shit out of my eggs on purpose...but there's something off about those onions.

    Next time take this guy's advice >>3604034 and just do the exact steps in Ramsay's video - no more, no less. It's impossible to fuck up, and a lot tastier despite how simple it is.

    And dude...go buy some butter!

    Oh hey, it tasted great. The red you see in the pic is the thinner part. Moise and flavorful, the sauce or lackof - mostly the vinegar taste - gives it a bit of perplexity which is fine. The crunchiness was probably because I left each side on high heat up to 5 minutes. Oils and shit were flying everywhere, goddamn. Wait till you see the contraption I built to combat the mess next time.

    The only disappointment I could say is the thickest part, near the bone. Definitely medium rare borderline rare there. Subsequently they were too raw beefy taste for me. Definitely could use something like A1 to cut the raw flavor there.

    The steak was something like an inch to close to 1 1/2, definitely on the thicker side. My first though was too thick actually, but then it shrinks quite a bit.

    Also I didnt have anything else handy to dress the steak w/, so just grabbed an onion for the sake of it.

    7/10 for overall result. You lose 1 point for missing your target doneness, 6/10.

    Keep at it!

    you'd be more likely to get stomach cancer from all the carcinogens on OPs burnt steak then you would from a properly cooked medium rare steak.
