I'm not the type to turn down an $8 steak, especially a ribeye.
The real question is why is it $8?
Let me show you how to cook it.
I got rosemary.
We got some butter, a little bit of garlic, and then for the seasoning, salt, pepper,
garlic.
That's all you need.
Let's get to cooking.
Let's start off with the pan.
Turn on the gas.
I got a nice little layer of olive oil.
I'm going to throw down the meat.
This is a nice looking ribeye, especially for eight bucks.
You can't beat that.
Start off with a nice layer of kosher, nice layer of garlic, and then a little poof of
black pepper.
We'll pack that in real nice.
Flip it over and just do the same thing.
What is your favorite cut of meat?
Hands down, ribeye is the best.
I don't know who's not choosing ribeye.
Let that sit for about three or four minutes and let that seasoning stick really well.
Continue to heat up the oil.
We want to get this really hot.
I'm going to go ahead and cut the garlic.
We'll set that aside.
At this point, my oil is very hot.
To test the pan, I'm just going to sear the side of the steak real fast, right where that
thick fat layer is.
After only a minute, she's already got some color.
Go ahead and lay that steak in just like so.
Go ahead and press each corner down.
We really want good contact.
We'll just roll that oil around to get up underneath that steak.
It's been about two minutes.
I'm just going to lift it up and let that oil get anywhere it hasn't got yet.
Again, just let it cook for another minute or two.
The most important part of getting a sear is to not really mess with it.
You want to let it caramelize.
After a full four minutes or so, go ahead and give it a flip.
Look at that.
That's what you want.
You see how it's starting to curl up?
Grab a knife.
Just go ahead and cut that.
It releases that steak.
Now I'm going to toss in my garlic, two tablespoons of butter, and my favorite part, a sprig of
rosemary.
Roll that around.
You see how it's going around that rosemary, down to the garlic?
That's what you want.
You'll just keep swirling it around.
All that flavor is going to combine really nicely.
I'm telling you, cook a steak like this for anybody, you're going to be a professional
chef in the house.
Pull it back.
You know the deal.
Base the steak, just like so.
That butter is going to harden on top of the steak and introduce a whole lot of different
flavors you didn't know about.
All right.
Roll that around and continue to let that sear happen on the bottom.
Flip your garlic every now and then.
Back and forth.
All right.
At this point, I think it's done, but I'm going to check the temp to make sure it's
where I want it.
Look at that.
Only 123.
I'm going to let it heat up to 130, and then we'll pull it.
And one more time, just baste that steak.
At this point, I'm going to go ahead and smush my garlic.
There we go.
All right.
Cut the heat.
Grab a plate.
Let's go ahead and pull the steak.
Look at that sear.
Perfection, dude.
Now, we're not done.
Grab this.
Come over here and pour it on.
Bam.
Now, that is how you cook a steak better than a restaurant.
And if you disagree, come over to my house, let me cook you a steak, and I'll prove to
you that this is better than a restaurant.
You'll never get a steak like this nowhere.
All right.
Then we'll just let it rest for three or four minutes before we cut it up.
Rate that presentation, bro.
Rate it.
Come on.
All right.
It's game time.
Let's dig in.
Go ahead and cut it.
This is a super thin steak.
Look at that.
Beautiful, bro.
I could have pulled it off a little bit sooner, but I wanted to get the crust.
Pull it off.
Into the butter.
Little piece of garlic.
Here we go.
Oh, man.
Got the little scallop.
Bro, why was the steak so cheap?
Look at that char, dude.
Jeez.
I used to hate the fat pieces, but sometimes they're pretty good, dude.
If you char them up nicely, they'll cook perfectly.
And look at that one.
Throw in a nice piece of garlic.
Dude, if you've never cooked your steak like that, you're missing out.
Do any of y'all play Minecraft?
Silly question, but I just started building a faction server on PC, and I'm getting it
set up, and I've been spending the last two days doing it, and I realize it's going to
take me the next four or five days, but if y'all are interested in joining, let me know
because I'm going to be sharing it with y'all, and I need y'all to join it so I can have
fun on it.
That's kind of why I'm doing it, to build a community over there, but I think it'd be
fun.
Look at this piece, dude.
That's a good piece.
Wow.
I'm going to finish eating this steak, guys.
I love each and every one of y'all.
Please do not tell me that I cook too much steak because it ain't going to change my
thoughts on it.
I'm cooking more tomorrow.
Good video.
Bye.
Y'all are all amazing.
Peace.
