Decent cuts

>>736374836
Charcoal is the best but not practical sometimes.

Reverse sear is good but time consuming

A very hot cast iron pan is usually my goto.

why are only filet mignons wrapped in bacon

How would I go about making gyros at home, assuming I'm in a condo and don't have access to a BBQ?

>>736375072
>most overrated steak?
Ribeye (in my opinion)
Any fat that doesnt render down into flavor is a waste to me. I think the tenderloin is better.

>best place to buy steaks?
With the new meat trace ability laws in place almost any reputable grocery store.

>best cut for grilling?
porterhouse

>best minimalist/fast steak prep?

Two rookie mistakes are not using a hot enough pan or grill, and not letting the meat get to room temp before cooking.

If its a quality cut it just needs salt and cracked pepper.
Shittier cuts need to be tenderized with a mallet until it almost doubles in size.

>>736375182
My top ten

Tenderloin
Hanger (very hard to find)
Strip
Ribeye
In and Outside Skirt
Flank
Top Sirloin Cap
Tri-tip
Flankenstyle shortribs
Sirloin tip side steak (cheap)

thoughts on steakums

>>736376467
No love for flat iron?

If I use a spice rub, how long should it 'sit' refrigerated on the meat before I put into hot skillet?

I wonder if I put it in too quickly, that rub hasnt worked into meat, and will just create a spice crust on skillet, and not flavor meat to its fullest potential

Just make sure you leave it out at room temp for a few hours before cooking

>>736379139

you're ruining the flavor of the steak by "dousing" it in anything

a quality steak should be cooked medium-rare to medium and enjoyed as is

A1 is mostly vinegar anyways. if you like it that's fine, there's plenty of other things to put that on. don't be a pleb

>>736373198
Rare. Def rare. With Raw Horseradish

>>736378718
5 mins.
Reason is you want the juices to settle back into the fibers of the meat.

Any sooner it will leak out.

Any tips you can give someone who knows fuckall about steaks and how to make them intoa bomb ass meal? Specifically with a standard weber charcoal grill? Literally any info, like how much charcoal, how far above the flame, best seasonings, how long, how to check how done it is, what utensils/odds and ends to use. Anything.

Ive heard the thing about higher heat = better but never knew about the room temperature thing. Stuff like that.

Some useful info on wagyu:

It doesn't feel like a normal steak. As its own standalone thing, it's very, very good, but it's different in the way a prime rib is good, but different.

The structure of the fat is different than a normal steak, so is essentially offers no resistance when you cut it or bite through. It even sizzles in the pan differently (if you choose not to grill). Cutting a wagyu steak is genuinely like cutting through butter, no exaggeration.

Is it worth it? Not to eat regularly, no. My wife and I purchased it a few times from Wegmans (outside of restaurant experiences), and have also purchased it from Snake River Farms (which I strongly do not recommend). It's important to note that it's very rich, and even half of a strip steak is a lot to handle. Imagine eating a super sweet candy you love. A few handfuls are awesome, but it is another thing to slam a whole bag of it.

It's definitely worth it, to try. For sure. But once you do, you will: A) Understand how fucking next-level soft and tender it is. Unlike anything else, even filet mignon or similar tenderloins, and B) Why it doesn't make sense to not eat it often.

Oh, and fuck Kobe. Yes, it comes from the Kobe prefecture, and no, it's not worth $200+ per steak, or $300+ in a restaurant. There is a MASSIVE difference between a prime-level steak, or high quality angus, even, and wagyu. But there is NOT a huge difference at all, if any, between wagyu and kobe.

>>736377087
lol ate a publix strip last night marinated in the pbulix steak marinade

>>736380061
80% of a DIFFERENT kind of fat, though.

Wagyu steaks are an entirely different beast, even compared with prime grade. They are sincerely like cutting through butter, and the bite almost melts in your mouth due to the different chemical composition of the fat.

>>736380627
Not as motherfucking possible
Coals should not be on fire
Dont pierce the meat with any tools
Search youtube on finger/hand steak temp trick
If its a inch think I would do 4 mins on one side, then flip and do another 3 mins

Restaurants usually grill them for marks/searing the outside and then throw them in a 500 degree oven until finished.

If you aren't letting your steak sit for at least 5 minutes you are doing it wrong period. If done right the steak will still be hot.

Best steak for the money is a porterhouse.

>>736381048
Basically beat me to it on wagyu, but I would say kobe is an experience all of it's own. Outside of Japan though, your chances of getting the real thing are similar to your chances of getting real honey in China.

Aged steak is probably one of the best food experiences I have ever had. Not much like it.

>>736374836
If you have time and the right equipment, I've cooked ribeye like this and it turns out great:
http://modernistcuisine.com/recipes/low-temp-oven-steak/

I tried it with waygu too but it never seemed quite right and now I know it's because the fat in waygu melts at 76C. So you basically can only sear it in a pan and then serve it.

>>736380627
salt and pepper
use a chimney charcoal starter and real lump charcoal(cowboy brand is a good place to start)
avoid lighter fluid at all costs
do not put the steaks on until there is no flame emanating from the coals, and they should have an even grey appearance. think 20 minutes in the chimney starter with some newspaper as fuel, then roughly another 20 minutes after you dump the coals in the grill.
if the steak doesnt immediately sizzle and make an audible tsssss noise, its not hot enough. be patient you mongoloid,
if you have an instant read thermometer, utilize it, otherwise judge doneness by gently pressing into the middle of the top, it should give a slight resistance and return to its original shape immediately. roughly the same sensation as poking the flesh of the back of your hand between your thumb and index finger.
after reaching desired temp, place on a rack and let rest for 5-10 minutes, under tinfoil to retain heat. also note that the steak will continue to cook after it comes off the grill, so be pre emptive.

good luck

I'm not the guy who started the thread, but my dad was a butcher for essentially his entire life.

Yeah, big time on the Kobe. If you get it in America, eh. If you can get it in Japan, and it's a higher grade that almost looks entirely white, with traces of pink, then strap yourself in.

But I still think it's important to stress how absolutely rich the food is. Unreal. I don't think I've ever found marbling scores as high as in Japan.

>>736381450
I do all this but I flip mine with a spatula every 1:30 for 10:30-11 minutes and its perfect every time

>>736381048
There's only 2 restaurants in the US that serve real Kobe. Everywhere else it's wagyu but they call it Kobe.

And Kobe has different ratings. I ate it in Japan at a restaurant specializing in it and even they could only get the 2nd highest rating. In the us they get the lowest rating.

It was pretty amazing. Kind of like eating roasted hog jowls - just fat and protein with no separation between the two.

>>736381986

Fucking amazing info. I really want to go make a steak now. Any suggestions on what type of cut to get? Someone mentioned earlier porterhouse is all around best for the money for a charcoal grill. But as far as individual cuts, what should i be looking for? Fat content? Thickness? What traits make for the perfect steak?

Also side question, opinions on putting a dab of butter on the steak after its done?

Again awesome thread. Bra fucking vo.

>>736382416
actually its not interesting at all you pretentious faget

>>736382540
usually it's done with chive butter.

>>736382540
You want some light marbling in a porter house but it should be neatly trimmed and no gristle.

When using a weber grill with charcoal should i be leaving the lid on the entire time except when flipping/checking temp? Or lid off?

Also speaking of which, how should i go about flipping? How often? Thanks.

>>736382540
the best cut is purely subjective and ased on personal taste. i would suggest starting with top sirloin as its reasonably cheap. then move to new york strips, ribeye, tbones, and whatever else looks good. and as far as putting butter on it, go ahead man. bonus credit if you take the time to make a homemade compound butter with garlic and herbs in it to really personalize it. I absolutely love the taste of fresh thyme leaves and crushed garlic with a rare steak

I get skirt steaks for marinade, usually choice. Does it matter if i get in or out?

Also, how do you choose steaks for yourself? When you look at marbling, do you go for most white throughout or larger bands? Do you go by color based on deep fleshy reds or the bright, colorful red?

Finally, at what price per lb do you think steaks stop becoming worth their cost? Talking about kobe, Wagyu, etc.

>>736386321
Fat.

You mean by ounce.

>>736386666
Never thought quads would be so fucking stupid. Price per ounce will be the same as price per lb, just multiply or divide by 16.

>>736379941
Not OP, but I'm a culinary supervisor at a place that serves steaks and I've been in the restaurant industry for years. You are absolutely supposed to let a steak rest for about 5 minutes, and you can look it up and pretty much every single chef will say the same thing. It helps regulate the tenderness of the steak and makes the color even out, and most of all it keeps all of the juice from spilling out the second you cut into it.

No they won't. If something is $160 a lb, then it is $10 an ounce. Either way, the price is the same. You can go back and forth between the two, go to whatever fucking zip code you want, but price per oz and price per lb will come out to the same thing for anything that you buy.

You might want to look up varying prices in different areas before you leave the basement bro. Otherwise you could end up at Arby's. I don't even want to see you at Arby's.

>>736388040
Oil, and get oil that has a high smoke point. Avacado oil is good at 500 degrees. Butter and other lower quality oils will smoke up before you can even get a pan hot enough to sear.

Knowing when the pan is hot enough comes from experience, because none of us know your pan and range. Cast iron and carbon steel are best, I prefer to heat them up in the oven so they heat evenly while I turn the burner up. When experimenting, sound will tell you. You want a loud sizzle.

However I would recommend baking or heating in water bath first for reverse sear, because with a regular sear you will need to finish steak in the oven and it will be very easy to overcook.

>>736373536
Stopped reading thread here.

>>736388231
Why would it matter what the various prices in different areas are?

If one are sells meat at $10 an ounce and another area sells it at $192 a lb, then the first area sells for 160 per lb and the second for 12 per ounce.


It doesn't fucking matter, and at this point you're just reaching for whatever bullshit you can to cover up your autistic mistake because you're stubborn and dumb as fuck.

>>736387606
