    Yep, and don’t over cook it.

Tell the wife to stop yapping and eat her microwave burrito while you enjoy a man's meal.
      That’s a perfect steak! I always cook my wife a ribeye too though so she can eat 1/4 of it and I get leftovers! Might have to sell her on the microwave burrito though so I can afford to eat steak more.

        You don’t make your wife retrieve your icy cold beverages?? (Yapping…geez.)

        One thing I’ll add for you fans of SPG, try adding a little sugar to your meat—as the initial layer—before adding the other seasonings. The sugar aids in the caramelization process of the meat and it greatly enhances the flavor of the other seasonings.

          Good steaks can be had anyway but for me sous vide then sear yields the most consistent results.

              Great beef to start, room temp, mesquite coals, salt, pepper and a little butter!! My dad would buy great steaks from Pinky's market in Llano (before they closed) and my mother would use the simple concoction listed above and slap those babies on the mesquite coals medium rare, and that was it. Simplicity.......perfection.

                Buttered steak is the best way to ruin a steak for me.

                I brined pork steaks, beef steaks and elk tenderloin, over night, last night.
                Im a skillet cooked steak type of dude.
                I tenderize by stabbing steaks with a fork repeatedly on both sides then massage season into both sides of meat.
                Bacon grease sear. Flip. Sear. Cover and convect bake 350 in covered LeCrueset until desired doneness is achieved.
                I made 1” thick pork chops tonight as previously described.

                Sous vide steak is deliciously tender.

                Dry aging for a day or so was the old school way of tenderizing for a perfect steak for my Sages.

                  I like using a ‘Texas’ style steak seasoning (Uvalde Meat Market is my favorite).

                  Reverse sear to 100-110 degrees.

                  Heat a black iron skillet to almost red hot (if you are doing this indoors, you probably aren’t getting it hot enough). Sear in a teaspoon of high heat oil for about 1 to 1.5 minutes on each side.

                  Plate, put small pat of butter and tent with tin foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes.

                  I think most folks can’t or don’t sear as a high of heat is really needed for Maillard effect when searing.

                        Quality meat, seasoning, cook time and temperature.

                          What does the baking soda do?

                              I have a sous vide, and we just don't care for much of any thing in it. We have tried so many different recipes. We don't even use it any more.

                                I like to put mine in the pellet grill for 2 hours at 200, then take off and sear 2 minutes per side.
