I seared this 18 oz ribeye and made fried shallots and garlic in butter.
Don't need any sides of other food. It's all right here.

>>21446331 (OP)
Too rare for me. Needs fries for the juices.

>>21446331 (OP)
I smoked a huge bowl bowl for "inspiration" and finished the whole damn steak.
Now I'm sweating like John Candy in The Great Outdoors.

looks good, I also think it's a bit too rare but I wouldn't turn my nose up at it.

It's overcooked, you fucked up.

how did bro get a huge ribeye from BK?

It may be approaching medium-rare in the cross section you can see, but was blue in the thick areas. Cold in the middle. Just the way I like it.
What a steak it was. The meat sweats and mild sickness passed and now I feel amazing. Even having some cheeses as an after snack.

>>21446331 (OP)
Credit for saying "My Dinner" like an adult and not "Me DIn Dins" Like an autistic child but that steak is overcooked.

God damn I hate retarded pothead. They make it their whole identity and can't have a single conversation without talking about it. Pure cringe.

>>21446430
It's not my personality. I needed it to create the immense appetite necessary to consume an entire 18 oz steak with butter sauce all over it. What the fuck is your issue? Ever heard of an aperitif? That's the alcoholic version of what I did. I'm not some tie-dyed, dreadlocked hippie with weed leaf earrings.
It was supposed to read 'bong bowl'. But I was high. I'm terribly sorry that offends you.

The 15 year old meme suggests you're a millennial, possibly mid 30s if not pushing 40. So why are you getting high and eating giant steaks at home by yourself?

>>21446682
Sorry we are doing something you will never get to enjoy at that age, zoom-zoom. Enjoy your Takis

>>21446367
Your steak looks good. I've eaten way too many "cowboy" ribeyes while high, 3lbs plus. Good times.

Sides are used to provide variation and to compliment the dish. You’re just lazy and possibly disconnected from your higher consciousness.

I will never understand how people fuck up steaks like this. That is raw, not even close to rare. Did you try to cook it from frozen or something??

>>21446331 (OP)
>Don't need any sides
You don't need a lot of things but life is better with them, pomme puree underneath to drink up those juices would be very good. Agree with the onions and garlic on top, I usually do mushrooms as well. Cook is perfect, other anons are being giant faggots.

>>21447307
Depends on the cut of meat, and also how the meat is cut. Big fucking hunks of raw beef are trash to eat but thinly sliced is a whole different story

I'm 43 and divorced. I'm getting high and eating giant steaks at home by myself (with my dog) because it's fucking awesome. If you find some issue with that it reflects more upon you than me.
Going to a fireworks show with friends tonight. Is that something you approve of, anon? Is that okay with you?

>>21447307
Cooked it too hot and quick, probably one big sear.

>>21447307
>not even close to rare

By what metric are you judging that? Looks perfect.

>>21447969
I see a dark seared crust and a quarter inch of cooked beef on either side of the rare red center. Perfection.

>>21447978
That’s strange. My understanding has always been that doneness refers to the reddest part, ie medium rare isn’t rare in the middle. I think it’s a lot better when it’s an even gradient, center being slightly, but noticeably more cooked. Your pic would be tough as shit, while mine would be tender throughout. I let it rest after the sear and cook at a low temp after for that reason

>>21447998
It's not strange. Your image is biased. It declares medium-rare to be "perfect" and "preferred". Disregarded.
If people went by your image a lot of steaks would be sent back as overcooked at steakhouses. But you do what you like.

>>21447347
i know no one will give a shit, but I think its fun
old movies, and maybe they still do, have symbolism peppered throughout that work on a subconscious level in order to help develop characters, themes and plots
this is a great example; john candy is more ruff and rugged, the fire behind him is an open flame
dan aykroyd is an uptight asshole, the fire behind him is fine tuned and utilized

>>21447347
>>21448004
this is one of my favourite movies. the bear story is hilarious

>>21448001
Don’t read it, look at the pictures. What would I have to order to get a steak that isn’t 50% well done and raw on the inside? I’ve made those on accident and they sucked. Maybe it’s regional? I end up with the one in my pic at US steakhouses

>>21448001
>It declares medium-rare to be "perfect" and "preferred".
That's a true fact. Medium Rare is optimal steak doneness. That said. OP's steak is not Medium Rare. It's borderline blue

>>21446331 (OP)
I'm very sparing with shallots for my steaks these days. They're so overpoweringly sweet with the browned butter. But if you're going for an all out rich flavoured ribeye they're amazing.

>>21448012
For ribeye I'd say a medium is almost better. You have more time for all of that fat to render. Though for a strip or flay, medium rare is prefered.

>>21446417
>mild sickness passed and now I feel amazing
lol

>>21447791
Yeah it's OK, hope you enjoyed them. Why are you divorced though? Couldn't hack family life?

>>21447998
Looks like fucking AI rendered beef honestly.

>>21448012
No, that is your subjective opinion, regardless of how many people join you in opining that medium-rare is their favorite. There is no optimal. You can't measure it like you can the efficiency of an engine or something. You like it more cooked than I do, and someone else likes it even less cooked than me.
That's how it works, dingus.

You mean that exact frame? The lamp way in the background that you can see over Aykroyd's shoulder? That's surely not intentional in order to subconsciously invoke your theory. Even if the light placement was intentional for lighting and balance by the gaffer and production dept, there's no "symbolism" there. Not in the cinematography of a fucking 80s John Hughes movie. Some movies have done that; not this one.

Looks ruined.

Way too uncooked in the middle.
To think I share society with people full of tapeworms and shedding contagious eggs because they eat like this and think it is a preference and not a failure to cook their food.

>>21448449
Fuck off, psycho. No one gets worms from rare beef. Maybe join the first world and the twenty first century.
