    Didn’t have a thermometer so I just rawdogged it, thought the cook was pretty good. Butter basted it, but my pan temp was too hot I think and the butter browned. Tips and comments would be nice! Tasted great btw 😁

    Looks good. Prefer it a little more rare but I’d smash that

    Why do only Veterans get to comment? That NY strip looks GAF!

  4. Better than I can do. And I cook steak every day!🤯

    Looks like a delicious dinner to me. Have some mayo with your frites!

    Looks great, those fries on the otherhand look perfect.

    For a young lad, not bad at all. If you want constructive criticism, it appears you seasoned with a coarse pepper or even whole peppercorns and it burned on top as opposed to a proper Maillard reaction with the meat. Go with a finer grind. Take the steak completely out of the pan then right off the heat for a minute or two so you have better control over your butter for basting.

  8. My advice to a 17 year old is make as many friends as you can before you get too old. It’s harder the older you get.

    As for the steak, would eat it.

    Nice dude,

    At 17, my steak resembled grey, meat flavoured chewing gum.

    A little more done than I’d like, but sear is fantastic, I’m still crushing that steak.

  12. Ant-Manthing

    I like that this plating implies you ate both

    Gotta learn sometime, and aside from being overdone for my liking, that looks pretty damned good!

    If you wanted medium well, it’s a great result. If not, it’s more than okay to eat but suboptimal.

    That’s spot on!!!!!!! Perfect!!!! I would smash.

    Overcooked AF imo but it’s so subjective.

  17. SaleSubstantial6601

    Looks delicious!!! Thanks for not putting it on a paper plate

    Coming from a professional line cook. Good job kid 👍

    I read this as vegetarian’s thoughts 😅

  20. BIGBOYDADUDNDJDNDBD

    A little over cooked for my liking but that’s just personal preference. looks great though. Definitely better than 17 year old me’s steaks

  21. Red_Bearded_Bandit

    That’s a good medium steak you got there.

  22. Some might say it’s a little too medium well but I’d say having two steaks instead of one makes up for anything and I would eat them both along with the fries.
