Its raw you fucking donkey.

But in all seriousness, I would suggest using a lower heat to cook your steak so the inside wont be raw and the outside wont be burnt.

I agree with these fags

Looks pretty fucking good anon.
Tenderloin or sirloin?

>>744667298
It's raw, probably because you didn't let it sit after you took it out. Next time let it sit no less than 5 and no more than 10 minutes, covered.

>>744667298
Yeah way too undercooked.
I personally like mine with no pink, but everybody I know that likes medium or medium rare would say that is too under for them. What seasoning did you use?

>>744668245
This anon knows his shit. This is an important step. Think brownies. Once you pull them out the oven they still aren't done.

>>744667298

Middle's a bit blue and the sear is a bit too hard. I wouldn't pepper it before searing next time, see how it just burned? You can use lower heat for longer, or sear slightly less, then throw it in the oven for a few minutes to get internal temp to 125-135F. Or hell, even reverse it... oven to 115-ish, then sear the outside.

Fuck. Why should look on meat starving here?

>>744668245
>>744668343
Cover with tinfoil?

>>744667760
>>744667838
100% this. There's a huge difference between rare and raw.

>>744667298
where's the ketchup?

>>744668754
Tin foil works, or a pan lid. Anything to keep the heat in and let it simmer.
Also i recommend letting the meat sit prior to cooking. You really want a good steak at room temp before preparation.
Also You never answered what kind of steak it was.
>>744668789
Blasphemy

>>744667298
If it tastes good to you it's whatever, dude. You aren't cooking for me and I can't taste it so I can't evaluate.

OP here

I just used salt and pepper (listening to indications), but I didn't let it sit for too much, should I cover it while sitting? With what?

It's a knuckle, very fresh!

I like it rare but I agree it was too much, should I let it on the pan for more time?

That's rare as fuck. Cook it for another minute or two. Also if you cook it past medium you're a nigger

>>744668936
This.
And remember to salt it and let it sit for a good 30 minutes, then dry it up with a paper towel right before cooking.

>>744668936
I'm not OP, I was just curious.

I like the look of your meat, bro

>>744669337
cool, didn't know that

>>744669233
Next time take it out of the fridge and salt it heavily. Let it sit on the counter for 30-60 minutes. Pat dry and lightly oil, then add to a searing hot cast iron. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness and it will be medium rare, which is how steak is meant to be eaten. Add pepper after cooking, not before. It scorches in high heat.

It was a poor animal.

>>744669514
fucking perfect 10/10

>>744669233
Salt and pepper is fine, but let ot sit at least 30 minutes with just salt. It will sweat a lot, then dry it with a paper towel. This allows it to dry up on the outside so it makes a perfect crust when cooked.

After cooking, cover it with tin fool, or a bowl, or whatever. Let it sit like that for at least 5-10 minutes.

Absolute moron. Anything past medium is wasted meat.
>>744669233
Salt and pepper is really all you need and prime meat needs less as it has excellent flavor already.
Cover while sitting, keeps the steam in. At minimum 5 minutes.
Once you get more confident in your cooking abilities try filet. It's the best indoor steak. On the grill, rib all the way.
As for cooking time it's really about trial and error till you get what feels right.
Pic related is a good tool for helping you get used to it till you get a better eye/timing.
>>744669514
Perfection. Cut a little thin for my taste but very well cooked.

>>744669660
I know a lot of people will hate me for this but...
I season my steak with a mixture of salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and cinamon.

>>744669804
Whatever works for you honestly.
Anything is better than dipping it in a1 or ketchup after it's cooked.

>>744669502
>>744669660

great tips!
thx very much

>>744669514
It looks good for medium rare maybe a little more on the rare side. Not the way I like it but good job.

>>744669514
very cool

>>744667298
Experienced broiler chef here. If you wanted your steak char-broiled/blood rare, you need to butterfly the the steak. Then coat it with Kitchen Boquet. Drop it on a pre-heated high flame and scorch all sides.

I don't know if that's what you wanted to do in the first place, but the burnt raw chunk you have is where you seem to be headed. I used to get a lot of order for MR that came back for more fire to = M.

I agree with all the others in this thread that say you center is simply raw.

>>744669863
What is a1 even for? Why would somebody put it on a steak and is that its only use.

>>744669972
What does butterflying do?

>>744670235
It also makes a great lubricant

Don't listen to these animals, a good steak needs no more than a few seconds on each side.
That said, you should get a good butcher's advice on how to choose a good steak. Not all parts are the same and it doesn't seems to be a great one.

>>744669863
I discovered that cinamon helps the outer layer dry out faster while keeping all the juice inside at the same time, as opposed to using only salt. The crust it makes looks beautiful.
Also cinamon enhances the flavor a lot.
Crushed (not ground) coriander seeds also make it taste like heaven.

all you need is a hot pan , some oil , sear at high heat till golden all the way around. depending on how thick your steak is using the thumb trick cook till rare. then take off heat wrap in foil and let rest for almost the same time as cooking, done.
ofcourse you will need to season generously with salt and pepper mabye a little garlic and thyme.

>>744670235
No idea. I like it with buttered egg noodles, but i shudder at the thought of someone using it on a steak. Honestly a little horseradish is the only condiment I would ever put on a steak.

>>744670369
It allows thick steaks to cook more evenly, unlike ops which is dark on the outside and red in the middle.

>>744670466
I've never tried cinnamon but I'll definitely experiment with it now.

>>744670546
Oh ok cool.

>>744667298
Undercooked but I'd eat it. If the intent was to show cooking skills you failed. The sear both sides bullshit is a nice philosophy but it only demonstrates the most mundane of skill.
