    Hi, I’ve been watching tons of posts on this sub and decided to try to make steak on my own, bought my self thermometar and some cheap steak (Don’t know the terminology I believe this is close to rib eye? Not sure what cut this is) from local butcher and since it was thick piece i reverse seared to 130f and finished off in iron cast.

    Was too scared not to overcook steak so i am not satisfied with sear at all, but I’ve learned a lot. Any feedback would be appreciated

    You nailed everything except the sear

    Def great first attempt. Sear could use some work but otherwise looks perfect

    Cooked very well, but needs a better sear for sure! Good first steak tho

    Great first effort!! If you want the same doneness with a better sear warm it to ~125 in the over prior to searing.

    Except for the sear! Welcome

    Solid 7.75/10…..get your sear on next time and keep that color you are 8.75/10.

    Sear needs work, but I’m one to talk. My sear is awful. The doneness is 100% perfect for me. Looks amazing.

    Sear could be better but other than that it looks great

    You gotta render off that fat at the back. Otherwise looks nice and pink!

    Baby it with your tongs the first 2-3 minutes and hold it up to sear that fat cap, then char the outside in the rendered fat. Steel pan or cast iron pan or grill.

    But great for your first. Even restaurants do worse than that.

    Oh yea you can put way more salt and pepper than that.
