I bought a Costco prime ribeye. I wanted, medium rare my roommate wanted medium well so I did it in the middle, perfect medium to me. Any advice on how to improve?

I used a relatively new cast iron, olive oil to cook then butter to baste. I seasoned the steak with salt and left it covered in the fridge for 4 hours (helps get a solid crust). I took it out, patted the salt off then reasoned with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Let it sit for an hour at room temp then cooked it up. Made some rainbow carrots, mushroom and bell peppers as a side.

    Great cook! There’s banding, but I’m sure the steaks were still delicious. Medium well with some prime beef is a waste! Select or choice will be fine for anything over medium.

    Too much oil maybe?
    I would use little to no oil

    You should’ve basted it with butter, 2 cloves crushed garlic and fresh rosemary. Omit the garlic salt. Promise, it’s next level.

    Looks great. You’re spoiling the roommate entire meal looks amazing.

    Fresh ingredients are always far superior. Fresh garlic cloves and rosemary will take it to the next level. I’ve also started putting a cast iron skillet on top during my sear and it’s perfect.

    Looks fuckin good man. If you like it then no reason to change it.

    I think this looks great and would love to get this result. Usually I’m overlooking or undercooked. What were your heat settings and how long on each side?

    Didn’t get smoked out from the olive oil? I prefer avocado for the higher smoke temp.

  9. While you may have asked it, I’m not gonna judge you on your cooking. Instead, on your photographing. Try to make the first picture much less Disney.

  10. Lovely looking hunk of beef there.. If I sat down on front of that, I would drag the plate towards me, and ask what you made for yourself.. 😂

  12. Punch_Your_Facehole

    You could improve the beer. That steak is on point.

  14. I’d use a different cooking oil like rapeseed, canola, or avocado But it looks like it turned out well

    Only suggestion is to give me the steak to eat next time.

    You can cook for me anytime 🔥🔥🔥

    You can improve by getting rid of room-mate and having all the steak yourself

    The burners make it look like Mickey Mouse steak and pan

    No need to leave it to get to room temp, that’s just a myth. Flip it more often so you get less of grey band, like every 30sec.

    Looks great! Make a compound butter and put it on that baby when you’re just about finished cooking.
