horseshite, there is no way you're cooking a 2" steak how it deserves to be cooked using only a grill. Your mythical grilling skills aren't overcoming the laws of thermo. If you enjoy half the steak being gray and still purple in the middle, more power to you, but that's not how a ribeye should be served.

bringing steaks to "room temperature" does nothing

It is possible. Don't use a pan, use a grill.

Are you telling me that letting the middle get warmer so there isn’t such a drastic difference when you put it on the heat source does nothing?


Tell me what a sous vide does again?

I'm telling you after letting your steak sit on a counter for 2 hours, the internal temp will have raised like maybe 10 degrees

You sitting your steak out for 30 minutes does absolutely nothing

cooks the entire steak evenly from edge to edge

Steakhouses have been doing this for 100+ years and served millions of steaks.

I'm not disagreeing with you that the results are slightly better to sous vide, but its completely not worth the effort imo. Pull the steak out of the fridge an hour before cooking and season it, grill for however long you need per side, and move on with your life.

I let my steaks come to room temp, rub them with oil, and lightly season with salt and pepper.

I have a black iron skillet. I get that thing extremely hot, then sear them on each side for about 4-5 minutes. They get a solid crust on them.

I then put chunks of real butter on top of each, and put the entire pan into my oven at a temp of around 450 degrees. Depending upon how done I want them, I leave them in their for 5-7 minutes.

I take them out, plate them, and let them rest. Before I serve, I pour the buttery deliciousness on top of them.

Tastes exactly like Ruth's Chris. I get the heat transfer in the oven. The key is you have to use very good cuts of steak. Otherwise, they remain tough.

ETA: The one negative is the smoke it produces. However, that is lessened by rubbing the oil onto the steak, not the pan, before searing them. But still, it smokes the place up so better if you have a kick arse exhaust fan.

You are aware how most of the top steakhouses in the world cook their steaks right?

Yeah but my Instagram shot won’t be “perfect”


That’s what this is all about anyway, isn’t it?
