Dales can be legit on some cuts.

Filet
Sirloin

I come from a city that Dales was a instution in until they went out of business 5ish years ago.

Ribeye needs nothing but that amazing flavor from the fat

Sous Vide doesn’t render fat like reverse sear does.

Reverse Sear >>>>>>>>>>Sous Vide

Set green egg up for indirect.....bring steak to 105 ish

Put cast iron skillet on egg and heat grill to 500. Sear for a minute on each side.

Best. Steak. Ever.


Using a Sous Vide and then searing is Reverse Searing.

Beef fat begins rendering at 130 degrees. Using a Sous Vide allows you to cook the steak without as much risk of overcooking it before searing it.

Sous-vide your steaks first. It"marinades" in its own juices. Season them afterwards

Then heat your iron skillet until it's smoking. Throw some butter in it and slap your steak on it for less than a minute each side.

Thank me later.

If you need marinade to eat steak, you don't like steak
I feel the same way about BBQ. If you gotta smother it in BBQ sauce, you don't really care about the actual smoked meat.

I love really good, smoked moist brisket and ribs. If they're seasoned well to start with, then slow smoked with good wood, covering them up with sauce just seems criminal.

I knew an Asian girl once that would marinade chicken in coca cola. She made it for a potluck one time and it was absolutely delicious. I could see root beer working out the same way.

Pork chops are delicious in it. But it has to be Barq’s for the acidity

butter if you’re feeling extra frisky but that’s it.


Butter to cook a steak? That’s way worse than a marinade. A ten year old can make a steak taste good with butter.

Except for the very occasional sauerbraten, I seriously haven’t marinated any meat since college. I find it to be the biggest whole bunch of nothing whatsoever compared to salt curing or brining meat to add flavor, texture or moisture to meat during the cooking process. For steak though, I just want good quality meat, and dry aged if possible, and a DRY exterior, not wet, and not sugary, I can get a much better crust on the outside with salt and cracked black pepper and high heat rather than burning sugar.

You don't find that Dale's makes the steak too salty to eat? I tried it and it was like licking a salt lick.

I like trying different way s too, but ultimately I like buying a quality ribeye and grilling it to medium/medium rare.

For seasoning I like to rub it down with olive oil, coarse sea salt, coarse or freshl cracked black pepper, granulated garlic, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

I find that the cayenne adds a hint of sweetness and a hint of heat that’s really tasty

I don't marinade but I do make a sauce for my steaks from time to time. A good bearnaise sauce is always good. Another I make for filets is:

3-4 shallots chopped
1/2C dry red wine
1/2C balsamic vinegar
2-3TB dark brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Using a small dab of butter, saute shallots until aromatic, slightly translucent. Bring heat to high, add vinegar, wine, sugar and reduce by half. Salt and pepper to taste. Strain and serve drizzled over filet.

what cut of steak did you marinade in root beer?


Sirloin. You know it's the fanciest because it has Sir in it.
