Ever had someone try to sell you on a carbon steel pan? I'm told the crust-forming ability is better than stainless, for whatever arcane reason. Plus, a beautifully seasoned debuyer is possibly the only way to improve on these pics

I've always been a cast iron guy, but lately, I've switched to a really good stainless steel. Yes, it's not as easy to get a really good crust really quickly, but when the steak is properly dried out (and better yet reverse seared), it's still on point. But at the same time, you get a higher margin for error with cooking time.

I have a small, beautifully seasoned de Buyer just for searing foie gras.

Visiting family this month and my dad made ribeyes the other day. They were good, but he’s very set in his ways. Never dry brines with salt. Won't experiment with a reverse sear. He just adds a steak seasoning salt he likes and immediately grills them outside (propane). So no basting on a pan either.

He often over cooks them to medium but this time he managed a good medium rare.

Not trying to make ya feel bad, but that still sounds pretty good.

What do you mean? I said it was good in my post.

It was just an observation that as much as some people obsesses over getting the “perfect cook” with a variety of techniques most people keep things simple and often come out with a solid steak.
