Sous vide is the way to go. I make a compound butter with garlic, rosemary, and salt, then add it into the bag before sealing. Cook for an hour, plus one hour per inch of thickness of the steak. Pull it from the heat and put it in an ice bath for 10-15 minutes to drop the temperature. This helps you not overshoot the internal temperature when searing. Remove from the bag, pat dry, then throw on a pan. I prefer a flat top griddle as hot as possible. I used to do a chimney grill starter but the flare ups from the rendering fat will deposit soot on the steak, giving it an unpleasant taste. Adding a weight to press the steak down gently on your cooking surface also helps give a more consistent and even sear.

So close.
Want the absolute least amount of grey bands on your steak Dry brine a bunch of them on a cooling rack in your fridge over night. Season with pepper, garlic, whatever and vacuum pack individually. Toss them in the freezer. Now when you want a steak take your pre prepared steak(s) out of the freezer. Freezing a steak allows you to sear the very outer edge with out raising the internal temps. You then bring the rest of the steak slowly up to temp in your preferred method. Insert a probe as soon as it allows.
Perfect every time.

Ok. At first glance of the thumbnail, I was a little disappointed. I wait weeks for you to drop new content. And this is what we got But then, like every video you make, I was very entertained and very educated by it. So well done Ryan (has that pun gotten stale yet. It wasn't necessarily a subject I wanted, but it may have been a subject I needed. And BTW i'm genuinely curious about Kate and water comment. Also, when you whipped the steak at the grill. that was fantastically perfect!

Ive been building more muscle than I have my entire life with potatoes and beans and plants lol. High carb low/no fat whole food pant based diet. In 12 years I have gained 27 pounds of muscle. 18 years training total. Steak has ZERO fiber, trans fat, cholesterol, the burnt part is cancer causing, and red meat is now classified as a carcinogen. You can do whatever tf you want. Good luck.

I have a sous vide machine and it’s worth the cost. In addition to steaks, you can make the juiciest breasts ever. Sous vide a bunch of them, keep them in the fridge and when you want pull them out and warm them up. Also boiled eggs by the dozen and they don’t have to be vacuum sealed.
Meat turns out the same every time with the reverse sear method.

Testosterone isn’t just something people should start thinking about when they feel like something is wrong. Understanding how your daily habits affect you earlier makes a lot more sense. The book called TestoGenesis Protocol by Angelico goes deeper into that than most things I’ve seen mentioned online.

Ryan, excellent video. I am beef connoisseur. Grew up on a cattle ranch and I am a 12 year carnivore. I would be happy to have a convo of some excellent additional points. Great video! Always impressed with the amount of homework you do. And this is way better than your old vegetarian videos. Lol.

Sous vide is a game changer for making your steak. The set up is not expensive, and it's the the only way I like to cook steaks. I've been doing it for over a decade. The nice thing is, keeping a crappy cut in the water longer breaks down connective tissue and makes it super tender.

Bro hit all the marks. A!
Would like to see a little more info on sous-vide, as it's not well know, but a interesting, perfect, & fantastic way to cook your proteins (I found out about sous-vude from an older women in Iceland years ago, tried it, & have used it since)

The clear sky began to darken as the La Coche bobbed upon the Green. Ripples across the leaves steadily intensified, accompanied by a low, resonant hum that seemed to rise from the depths themselves.

Can’t believe the book called TestoGenesis Protocol by Angelico is still this unknown. This guy supposedly worked with elite athletes before disappearing from the public eye. This book is what he left behind.

Reverse Sear is the only way to make ribeye IMO. On my smoker till it's at 110 then on a charcoal or wood grill for 30-46 seconds on each side. Pushing it to 135. Rest for 2 minutes. Perfection every time: D

Welcome to the reverse sear club bruh. This is the way. Eat one for breakfast/lunch right off the sear, and eat the second one cold sliced up with some cheese for dinner/snack. 2 steaks a day is the way.

Carnivore diet W.
also, sous vide with a 90 second sear is the ultimate way to cook a steak. It's also cheaper than many people thing. Circulator, container, vacuum sealer and 150 bags is only $125-150

You are supposed to heal the steak at a high temp for like 1-3 min then low temp like 160 old cook here, or you do the reverse method season a wooden cutting board and let the steak suck in the seasoning

The book called TestoGenesis Protocol by Angelico is seriously overlooked. Angelico has a way of making you rethink habits you probably never connected with testosterone in the first place.

Can’t understand why the book called TestoGenesis Protocol by Angelico isn’t talked about more. Apparently Angelico worked with famous athletes before suddenly disappearing from public view.

Pro tip: buy a small electric pellet smoker, smoke to 105 degrees, bring to stove top, fry until 135 internal temp. Pro tip #2: remember this comment and thank the Lord you saw it.
