Did you buy a thermometer just to roast shit in that tiny oven?

sorry just back from work.

crust is clearly not amazing, seared it outside.

>>9029524
That kitchenette is cute! CUTE!!

when you have a cut like this with a large portion of fat on the outside, do you set the steak on that side during the sear to better melt the fat?

>>9032409
are you going to post pics of the cut mayne???

with reverse sear the fat is ready to eat regardless of sear. but if you fry the fat in the oil you get a nice crispy delicious fat strip.

hotel steak/10, would eat. you're right, the fat looks ready for mouth melting. i am a novice who only pan frys my steaks so i always melt the fat in my forward sear.

>>9029524
You have a cast iron skillet, and your steak is in the toaster oven with a digital meat thermometer. Why u unnecessarily McGuyver?

>>9032492
Looks good but
>using a meat thermometer on a steak
Just pop it in the oven on low for like 15 minutes and finish cooking it in the pan while searing. You can generally tell what the doneness is just by how firm it is or how long you've cooked it. And if you over/undercook it it's no big deal.
Also I really hope you added some garlic and butter in the pan during searing.

Awesome

Nicely done. Looks really good

I love extended stay america. Some are really trashy with people that live in them permanently but having the small kitchen stuff is worth it even if you just make some pasta or something. It's better than having to eat out for every single meal when on a business trip. Nice work on the steak OP.

i disagree with your general idea. 120F in the center is what I want it at. if you don't measure it, you can never know the actual temperature. starting with a refrigerated steak changes the cooking time and not all refrigerators are the same. time is a shitty metric for cooking in general, it's just more work to measure temperature.

love them dinky little kitchens. all you need is a toaster oven and hot plate.

there's a difference between fat itself and the rubbery silverskin between the muscle and fat. the fat is great. the silverskin is shitty.
