>>
>>21638641
i don't think you know what a red herring is, retard-kun

Let’s break down just how incompetent the original poster was from a culinary and posting perspective:



Meat Selection Fail
• He chose cheap grocery-tier NY strip at $18/lb, which is a high price for a mediocre grade.
• Minimal marbling. The fat cap looked uneven and wasn’t rendered properly.
• He did zero prep trimming—leaving gristle and outer sinew intact.



Seasoning and Prep Mistakes
• He says “pepper outsides” and “Lawry’s tastes outsides,” which means:
• No salt-first dry brine.
• Lawry’s used as the only flavor layer — heinous for a steak that expensive.
• Applied oil before searing, which lowers searing temperature and encourages uneven browning.
• No butter, garlic, or thyme basting. Just pan and hope.



Cooking Errors
• Weak sear: No real crust formed. You can see in the photo that the browning is pale and patchy.
• Overcrowded the pan slightly — which vents steam and ruins crust potential.
• No thermometer, no rest period shown, no signs of understanding carryover cook.



Posting and Thread Etiquette
• He used ESL-tier phrasing (“pepper outsides”) which was intended to be serious, not a meme.
• Failed to anticipate /ck/’s tone — didn’t lead with good visuals, didn’t preempt the criticism, didn’t bring charm or bait.
• Declared it “kino” unironically while showing bland mid steak with poor texture.



Cultural Failure

On /ck/, if you post a mid-tier steak:
• You better know it and be humble about it.
• Or you better be baiting intentionally to start a thread war.
• Or you better cook it flawlessly with crisp pics and a confident tone.

He did none of the above. He posted a $30 pan-seared Lawry’s-ass NY strip with dorm energy and said “kino.” That’s why the thread turned on him immediately.
>>
>>21638640
LMAO. Yeah he’s in full damage control delusion mode now — pulling the “nostalgia bait” lever like it’ll fix the greying sear.

“Neighborhood dad energy ”

No bro. That’s not a vibe. That’s you coping because your steak looks like it was boiled in ranch runoff.

He’s trying to hijack the framing:
• From: “This is embarrassing and low-effort.”
• To: “It’s wholesome! It’s heartwarming! It’s authentic dadcore!”

Translation:
“I know this turned into a thread of L’s, so let me gaslight the room into thinking it’s a Norman Rockwell painting.”

This is how you know he’s not a full troll —
A troll would escalate the chaos.
A mid-tier zillennial starts writing his own fake praise, dreaming someone else would say it.
And it always sounds like a *Reddit comment on a sponsored Camp Chef ad:

“Man, this reminds me of my uncle Terry in ‘97… He burned every steak and I loved him for it.”

Bro no you didn’t. You just need someone to love you for overcooking a Safeway sirloin.

Final verdict:
The oil outsides were real.
The pepper outsides were prophetic.
But the kino was a delusion.

You're not even close to rich, OP.
You stop noticing prices at the grocery store when you get to a certain level of financial freedom, and it's much less than being rich.
>>
>>21638595
Why can nobody on this board sear a steak? Like 20% of the surface has any crust? Was probably cause it's a poorly trimmed bone-in steak so the bone prevents the meat from having flush contact with the pan?

Looks like its slightly overcooked, and doesn't have much of a sear. My guess is that you aren't using high enough heat for how thin it is, so by the time you get any sear at all its already too warm inside. I also strongly suggest salting it well in advance of when you plan to cook it to draw out moisture that can prevent browning to sear even faster so you can pull it before it overcooks.

Highjacking this dogshit thread. Gonna prepare 16.78 dollars of picana at 11.49 a pound. The pieces themselves are extremely mediocre but the butcher counter didn't have much better this time.

Salt and garlic powder after aggressively pat drying the pieces. I forgot to buy pepper at the store today so this is it basically. See you in ~24 hours after it dry brines.

I don't think you know what a "sear" is.
>pic related is what blackened means
>start by stop goin to Mike's Discount Meat Market where they keep rippin you off and the coolers aren't even fuckin cold enough to make it back to the house without the meats spoilin, go anywhere they do BOGOs for gawdsake, and start from here
>225F preheated oven
>meat probe thermometer - set alarm to 102F
>When it hits 102, pre heat pan super hot with some tallow or high smoke point oil
>2.5 minute seer each side, preferably with a meat press weight (optional)

and adjust till that blackened look starts coming together with the doneness on the inside by adjustments. No oils on the meat precook. Salt the meat right after pulling it to defrost.

>Wrap in foil, wait 5-10 minutes
>>
>>21642114
>sear steak
>immediately wrap in foil for 10 minutes, steaming it so any crust is softened and lost
top notch
>>
>>21642078
The longer the better, but an hour or two is usually plenty. 30min is better than nothing if you don't have the time. Moisture is the enemy of browning, so get get the surface as dry as you can. Thickness doesn't matter as much, unless you're doing a full roast instead of a steak, as the salt can only penetrate so far unless you get one of those tenderizers with a bunch of tiny spikes. If you are doing a roast, give it a full day in the fridge for best effect.
