What R U Eating ? ~OGH wants to know.....

Cooked to perfection.
My mum would be proud.
She is very good at cooking meat.
Actually it was a bit on the overdone side for my preference. I was shooting for Mid-Rare, but on a huge and thick steak like that one it can be difficult to hit the center of the bullseye on temp. It was still delicious.

There's a place nearby that has absolutely massive cowboy steaks:

They're impossible to grill without overcooking the outside. One could sous vide them, but my favorite method is "reverse sear". I have a really nice, precise "toaster" oven, which is really just a small convection oven. After seasoning and thoroughly drying the steak, I'll put the it on a quarter sheet with a wire rack in the oven at 200f until the internal temperature comes up to 115f which may take up to 2 hours. From there, a quick sear on either side is usually enough to finish it up. The added benefit is that with the drying action of the convection oven, the surface of the steak will develop a nice crust more easily.

Even still a quick read thermometer is necessary to finish.

Damn does that ever look like a delicious cut of meat though! But yeah, that would be very difficult to approach from a grilling standpoint. I am not sure I could polish it all off but I would give it the ole college try. Looks like about what? 4 inches thick give or take? I might just go for a 'black and blue' style prep and temp and enjoy it that way. N
 
More chicken and rice:

On a Korean kick lately: bibimbap with ground chicken and gochujang, kimchi, bean sprouts, spinach, and cucumbers, topped with a fried egg.
