Yum.
The problem is that Mrs. George likes her steak well done - i.e. "like a hockey puck." Getting the timing right for her steak (she prefers filet) and mine (I prefer strip steak) is always a challenge.

Nevertheless, I like the "reverse sear" method. It's easy, and doesn't have the frantic methodology of the traditional "sear, sear, bake, bake" method.

A lot less smoke, too.

Leftover street tacos from Super Bowl. They stay remarkably fresh. Yummy.

It's annoying, isn't it? I have a couple of relatives who always ruin excellent meat by overcooking it. They'll buy very expensive filet and then cook it at such a low temperature that it will swim in water while cooking. At the end, it's indeed like a hockey puck, with no crust. It makes me very angry.

The steak on the left looks excellent! The steaks on the right seem to be a little on the thin side.

The one on the left is mine - a New York strip steak. About an inch and a quarter thick.

The one on the right is Mrs. George's - it's a filet that *was* about an inch and a half thick, but she likes it split, so as to get it to go to hockey puck well-done. Yes, it was ruined, but that's what she wants.

Next time I do this, I'll reverse sear again, but put hers in the oven about half an hour before mine.

I like to take a 2"-3" strip steak and cook it by whatever method I am using, then take and slice it into chevrons to serve. So no, there is no steak too thick.

The only disadvantage of a very thick steak is that you have less crust per weight unit of steak.

Y'know I was never that fond of crust on steak. I guess that is why I am a prime rib fan.

Speaking of meat.....


About a week ago we were in a local discount grocery store in town checking what bargains they had this week. It's not a store you'd do your main shopping in because their inventory is not based on being complete, it's just stuff they can get bargains on. I found some of those pre-cooked baby back ribs you see in most stores - but they were priced at 1.99 a pack. I bought a couple just to see what the deal was. They're 8.99 in most stores..

I found out why they were so cheap. My guess is that when they're cooking these things, in handling them some of them break, so they packed these broken pieces together to make a "full" rack of ribs. Not scraps, not end pieces, but full, meaty ribs, just not all attached.

They were EXCELLENT!! Ten minutes in the oven, and ready to go. Tender, flavorful, meaty rib sections every bit as good as the "A grade" stuff for 9 bucks. I went back the next day and bought their entire stock of the things. Now I have a freezer full of baby back ribs, and I think I spent just over 100 bucks

That is what freezers are for. When I get a deal I clean 'em out and eat it for a year or two.

Made this again last night.

Having let the steaks come to room temperature, I put Mrs. George's filet in the oven at 250 degrees (after applying generous salt and pepper). Once 20 minutes or so had elapsed, I put my own strip steak into the oven as well. Into mine, I put a constant-read thermometer, and when it hit 135 degrees, I took them both out, and pan seared, in some vegetable oil with some butter and a sprig of rosemary.

Both came out excellent (Mrs. George approved of hers!), but mine was *just a bit* overdone. Next time, 130 degrees.

What I like about this method is that I can get all the sides ready while the steak is baking. Then, it's easy to devote all my attention to the meat during the searing, for that takes only a couple of minutes. Spuds and veggies can sit for that time.

Today's breakfast? Bacon cheddar burger with a fried egg on top. Nothing else sounded good. It's OK. It's breakfast AND lunch.

Two sloppy-fried eggs, 2 strips bacon, and exactly 3 oz of fried potatoes, weighed on my newish Smart Weigh glasstop digital scale, which I like well enough once I figured out how to turn it on.
