let it come to room temperature before cooking it

cast iron, extremely high temp, tons of salt and pepper, sear both sides, render the fat if applicable, baste with butter herb and garlic.

just boil it in a bag and then blast it with a blowtorch

douse it in Al

don't skimp on oil in the pan

Good ol' Al sauce.

>>18112052
This, but really though.
Seriously.

You need to buy a pack of prime steaks just to compare them with the choice ones you have been eating.

>>18111957
Fuck the meat, eat some veggies instead.

>>18111977
Yup. I feel that higher heat is important on the grill. When I do a good cut of steak on the cast iron pan I usually do medium for 3-4 minutes each site and get the perfect sear and medium rare. Also OP, make sure to let it rest. I put a pad of butter on mine and some tin foil for 5 minutes., Describe your cut, how much you spent. and how you make it and we can probably tell you what you are doing wrong. Dollar General Ribeye placed frozen in a George Forman for 15 minutes could be the issue.

Yeah, if you're a fucking redditor.

I could just barely skim that screencap but it didn't give a consensus.

>>18112328
only downside to costco prime is blade tenderized and carnigerean in the chicken :(

>>18111957
Spend more money

>let it rest
fuck you why would I want to eat cold steak?

>>18111977
whats a good cast iron pan

>>18113661
the best cast iron is the one you cook with.

not a joke. I have an Ozark Trail one (aka the WalMart camping-section brand) that I got for 7 dollars when I was young. If you think a factory-fresh Lodge has a course finish... But I've used it for years now and it's excellent, because cast iron is a "living" material (similar to leather) that develops with age and use.

>>18112437
I agree with the "mean" guy except for the meat thermometer part because having one lets me make sure that my steak hits the temp I like before removing it from the heat.

Laughed way too hard at this.

Upvoted.

Where can I find real certified prime steaks sans e coli?

90% is buying decent meat, 5% is the prep, 5% the actual cooking.

>how do i make it good

You do like your pic and cover in butter for just a minute before taking it out of the skillet/off of the grill. This one simple trick will elevate your steaks tenfold.

put salt on it and stick in the fridge for 24 hours
it dries it out for a perfect sear.

>>18116084
You see, the heat of the pan cooks the steak.

>>18113692
whoa fuck.
Wasn't expecting that.

>>18116331
Steel is better.

>>18113624

>>18112074
