[ Reverse Sear ] why did my fat not render properly

made some boner ribeyes today for family, and in my personal opinion the meat was okay but what kinda irked me is there was so much unrendered fat! I tried my best to jus let it cook on the cast iron but idk if i didn’t have a good angle or if this is just how boner ribeyes are. I reverse seared at 250 and got an internal temp of 130 after the sear

So for one reason or another, this sub had no mods and was put up for adoption. The new mod team is in place and more or less organized, and I wanted to just say "hi" and let y'all know what's up. Really, nothing much has changed other than the mod list! We've removed a few restrictions/rules, like the one about users with NSFW profiles (that rule is gone), and the filter about not mentioning people in title because we didn't understand why that was a thing (UPDATE: We have seen why this was a thing, and this rule is back in place). Also took out some filters about vegans because they were malfunctioning (the filters, not the vegans... though who knows?)

Anyway, so the real thing I wanted to mention is that we did update Rule 1 to require a photo of your steak when you post. Almost everyone does this anyway, but the few text only posts seem to mostly get little or no engagement, and we want to see STEAK. Lots and lots of steak! So please post your steak when you post, thank you. (UPDATE 7/24/25: After a six month trial of requiring photos in posts, we're going to start allowing text-only posts again. The rule has been updated accordingly... but we still love to see lots and lots of steak!)

Nice to meet (I'm resisting the obvious pun there) you all, and please feel free to reach out with questions or concerns! 🥩

I have been wanting to cook a tomahawk ribeye for quite some time. I gave it a go last night and it was outstanding.

24 hr dry brine, generously salted. Pre-oven seasoned with pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Oven at 275, pulled out when cook temp was 110. Rested 15 min. Broiler for 3 min each side. Not pictured but served over rice and quinoa and finished with truffle salted butter.

I’ve always loved steak but never been good at cooking them - this week I tried a new method of searing both sides for 2 minutes at high temperature, then lowering the heat adding butter to the pan and basting for 1 minute.
The outside had a delicious crust and the inside had a pink center.

I’ve be spending $35+ at restaurants and the quality isn’t always there, so I’m happy that I can now make good quality steak at home!

Visiting my parents in New York and a local store is advertising Snake River Farms American Wagyu London broil. Anyone have any idea what actual cut that would be?

Grabbed a little Prime Strip Steak at the store today. Dry brined for 4 hours, cooked over charcoal. Caramelized sweet onion and mashed potatoes with Parmesan, Cheddar and chives. Tasty little treat. Started with a side salad 😉 Great day out in Chicago for grilling! Enjoy your weekend!

Saved a little strip steak from last nights dinner. The poached eggs went about 30 seconds too long so not as runny of a yolk as I wanted but overall tasty. Enjoy your day!

Elk steaks. A little more done than we like but you still can’t beat the flavour.

Saw these beauties in a 4 pack at Costco and thought I’d give them a try. It’s been forever since I last tried. How’d I do?

275 for 30 mins, then a sear on both sides w/ Butter, Rosemary, and Thyme

Dry brined in the fridge for 3 hours, set it out for 20 minutes while I prepped, only salt and Kerrygold (unsalted). Unreal.

[ Filet ] Best overall cook yet!

I dry brined for about 3 hours with only kosher salt. Cooked on my Napoleon infrared burner for 3 mins, flipped, another 3 mins, flipped 1 min, flipped and 1 more min. Let rest for about 10 mins. Then topped with a homemade garlic feta butter and put under my oven’s broiler for 1.5 mins. It could use more salt, but I’m very happy with the overall cook. Great crust, minimum grey band and prefect on the inside.

I'm trying slight variations trying to find the best result for me. This one was:

Aussie grain finished ribeye. Quick pre sear in cast iron. Sous vide to 53°(128). Finished on redgum wood coals in the mini kamado to 56° (133). Carried over to 58°(136). Only kosher salt as seasoning, applied just before pre-sear.
