Dry aged at home, how done would you say this is?

    I had to use an oven, electric stove top, and no cast iron. Not my first choices but it came out okay.

    Medium! As long as there is a little pink, I’d still eat 😝

    Med-well, on the verge of well done. Unfortunate, but hopefully it tasted ok

    I’d call that somewhere between med and med-well

    Approaching medium well. Overcooked for my taste but probably still tasty.

  6. I’d call it well done! As in it looks great and I’d eat it in a heartbeat.

  7. I know it isn’t medium rare, but baffled at the amount of responses saying well done. Isn’t well done NO red/pink anywhere, cooked through and usually a grayish brown. This clearly has red/pink still, but barely.

    Dry aged steaks tend to look more “done” as the oxidation in the meat penetrates deeper. If I had to guess it was probably cooked to medium/medium-well, but again that could just be the color from dry aging.

    A little to done for me but i would still eat it. At least it isnt anything close to well done. Good job !!

    I didn’t realize there was a 2nd photo and thought this was a joke

  11. Nice medium/medium well. Perfect steak for folks moving from well done to something a little more pink

    I’d say above medium and just before fully medium well

    Medium well. It’s one minute away from being gray.

    Done beautifully is what this is. (I’d say that’s a gorgeous medium though)

    med/med well but it looks well cooked. Grey band isn’t massive. Still probably quite juicy despite being a little over cooked for my taste.

  16. Medium for sure doesn’t look like it was aged very long?

    Medium-medium-rare or medium with a splash of rare if you fancy

  18. Perfectly cooked IMO. This is how I cook my steak lol, I swear people here can’t stand when a steak isn’t just straight up purple in the center😂

    Looks great, I actually prefer medium over medium rare, and this is almost right on the edge of medium and medium well.

    It’s medium, which isn’t really that bad if the cut is fatty. I would much rather have a medium fatty cut than a rare one where the fat hasn’t rendered.

    With lean cuts like sirloin, medium is a worse mistake since rare is the “french textbook” way you are told to cook it and there’s no issue with attached fat rendering. With fatty cuts you are told to do medium rare.
