As you can see, despite using a very very hot pan, I didn't get a very good sear.

>>18850325
not a BAD sear though. the trick with the 'broil is to make sure it's tender, which requires the right combination of heat and time and the precise angle from which to strike

>>18850325
I've had issues before searing this particular cut, but as you can see, I was successful at getting a nice sear this time around.

Pic related.

I filled up the bottom of a pan with about a centimeter of coconut oil and just shallow-fried it. Came out very nice!

>>18850335
Here is the inside.

Was so good for a $3.64 steak!

>>18850321
Where's the famous pot, is it making an appearance today?

>>18850321
>>18850342

>>18850342
Here's one without the flash on. I'm not a great photographer.

>>18850321

>I'm not a great photographer.
No shit and not a great cook either

>>18850343
Just for you <3

>>18850335
pros and cons of coconut oil? if I use just canola oil is it going to be drastically different?

>>18850362
Ask your doctor you bitch, why are you asking on 4chan? Your going to get medical advice here?

>>18850365
was asking for cooking advice you mentally retarded mental retard

So anyway, the reverse-sear London Broil (Med Rare):

1. Rub London Broil with salt and let rest on elevated pan at room temperature for 30 minutes
2. Preheat oven to 240F
3. Place London broil on elevated pan in oven for 30 minutes
4. Remove and immediately transfer into pre-heated pan with ~1 cm coconut oil on high heat.
5. Sear 60 seconds on both sides
6. Let rest for 5-10 minutes
7. Wala!

Just saying, we're not doing some scientific study for your sole purpose. Do your own research you fucking cunt yet you call me the tard? I'm not the one asking others to do research for me, you are.

>>18850348
Looks perfect, great job

>>18850362
I use flavor-neutral coconut oil and think that it tastes better (meaning it adds no flavor).

Also just my personal opinion but I do think canola oil is bad for you, after cutting out bad oils I started feeling better overall, especially my joints.

>>18850371
sometimes people know more than without having to do research, it's called a discussion. if anon uses coconut oil because it's on hand and for no other reason that's a perfectly acceptable answer. but since coconut oil is not nearly as common as canola in the typical home sometimes an anon might have a good reason (i.e. they may bfind the thermal mass to be better, or less smoke, or more neutral flavour, etc).

fuck sake this board is for discussing cooking

>>18850377
>(i.e. they may bfind the thermal mass to be better, or less smoke, or more neutral flavour, etc
I know what flavor you like, that's semen you fucking fag

Total fag detected at >>18850377 especially with the i.e., etc and thermal mass.

>>18850361
Thanks.

I made popcorn with some of the leftover oil:

>>18850397
It does taste the slightest bit beefy, although I'm not sure I'd notice if I didn't already know the oil was used to sear beef with.

>>18850399
reused the oil? dunno if I would do such a think

>>18851112
Any specific reason why I shouldn't? It didn't smell or taste bad or anything. Didn't smoke.

>>18851187
idunno I just think popping corn in steakjuice isn't particularly appetizing but that's just me.

plus I'm just renting my house

WTF is a "London Broil"?

>>18851850
>popping corn in steakjuice
how does that not sound good again?

>>18851854
It's a top round cut. Very lean and beefy. Rather unforgiving and easy to fuck up.

>>18851850
Renters can't pop corn?

>>18850321
Damm this looks nice

>>18850321
How did you make the peppers side? Saute them on the pan a bit?

>>18851863

Why London Broil? Nothing like that exists in London and we don't "broil" anything.

>>18851900
It's mini sweet peppers, onions, and jalapeno.

>>18851908
I suppose you need an expensive license for a broiler?

>>18851900
I sauteed them in the pan after the steak, so it picked up all the fond. They were pretty good.

>>18851923
>>18851908
that is the wrong photo here is the right one

>>18851908
I dunno why they call it that. Classically, it would be cooked by broiling, which is not as good as a reverse-sear in my opinion. And it was probably a cut made famous by someone in London?

>>18851920
I live in the good ol' USA it's like the wild west out here we do have regulations but they are mostly ignored!

>>18851918
>>18851923
>>18851928
Nice. Looks simple and also good

>>18851938
Nope, doesn't exist in UO. Neither does broiling.

>>18851920
"Broiling" doesn't exist.

>>18851982
You don't have anything that can apply direct heat from above?

>>18851959
>simple and also good
Not that I'm so great, but if I had to give a single piece of advice to anyone starting out learning how to cook, it would be to keep things simple and not overcomplicate things.

>>18851975
Ultima Online?

I'm so confused.

>>18851878
Renters can dispose of spent oil in the guilt-free of ways
