What is a ideal size for a full grown man? Assume no bone.


An 8oz filet is fine, and 12-16oz for a ribeye. I could eat more, but there's really no point with solid sides and drinks.

I wanted to leave the cut open ended, but too many on the OT cant think without having their hand held.



Weight completely depends on cut.

An 8 oz. filet is a pretty good size (though prefer 10), but that would be a microscopic ribeye.

This shite matters.

And prime rib is like a big arse piece of the cow, not an individual steak cut. An individual cut of the same area as the prime rib would be a ribeye.

A standing rib roast, also known as prime rib, is a cut of beef from the primal rib, one of the nine primal cuts of beef. While the entire rib section comprises ribs six through 12, a standing rib roast may contain anywhere from two to seven ribs.


I get what you are trying to say though

To the sous vide lovers here...

Have y'all ever tried a reverse sear? I'm curious how it compares.

I personally use a baby Weber grill, and sear the hell out of it. Makes for a perfect medium rare. It's tough to cook anything else on that little bastard, because with the lid on, the air flow isn't great. But for a steak, it's awesome.

But I've been interested in a sous vide. I'd just like to try one before I spend $100 for something that may not give me a better result than what I current get.

You get a skillet super roaring hot on a grill (I do 800+ degrees surface temp), put bacon grease in it (I use several tablespoons and baste the top side while the under is cooking), and put the steak on it for a very short amount of time on each side.

If you sous vide, the steak doesn't really need to rest, but if you cook normally before that, rest the steak in foil for 5-10 minutes before serving.

It’s similar in the eveness of the cooking, but sous vide will break down connective tissue.

Sous vide is basically just a fancier more controlled way to reverse sear

Very comparable, but a lot more "idiot proof" because of temperature control.

I love my big Weber kettle and use an iron skillet insert to sear after the sous vide is done.

Best part to me about the sous vide is A. I can't frick up the internal temperature no matter what and B. I can wait until all the sides/veggies are ready to take it out of the bag and sear it quickly to serve. There is a big window of time it's ready to sear and serve.

At one time, a nice 22 oz ribeye was easy. Now, I'm lucky to put down a 12 oz. Will be eating that tonight along with a very nice bottle of wine.

I've been sous videing my steaks lately with my new Anova cooker.


Many, those of which who have never cooked sous vide before, will make fun. You give your steak a water bath?

Yes, indeed it is.

Get the bone-in ribeyes to the perfect med rare pink, sear on iron skillet insert on the grill in bacon grease at 800 degrees for about 20 seconds each side to char.


No standing over the grill watching - checking - ensuring they aren't over cooking. With sous vide, you eliminate that risk.

Pork chops and chicken are great for sous vide as well.
