ShadowCatboy posted:Even pork is safe to eat cooked to medium since we eliminated trichnosis in the States. should be mentioned that this statement is not true of boar or of fresh killed pork. You can, however, kill many strains of trichinosis by freezing, though there are always inherent risks when eating things like wild boar...which is sad because wild boar dry cured meats own.

Chemmy posted:I put fresh cracked pepper and a pat of butter on top of the steak before tenting in foil and resting. I use salted butter because I like salt. Maldon or gray salt is a nice touch too.

Chuck Biscuits posted:I bought a gigantic ribeye that was about 1.5" thick and cooked it Ducasse style. I heavily salted, air dried it in the fridge for about 6 hours and brought it up to room temperature before cooking. It developed an awesome crust but there was a huge differential in the doneness of the meat. The portions nearest the edge were rare while the medallion was at a medium. It was still really tasty but I was disappointed that I couldn't get a nice medium rare throughout. 1.5" is still pretty thin to do a true ducasse. 2" at least. Otherwise just a straight pan roast in clarified butter will get the same effect.

No Wave posted:Is this hanger steak? I'd personally only eat it like that if I hit it w/ the jaccard a lot beforehand. It is horse tenderloin iirc.

if you can't find nice thick steaks and don't have a proper butcher, the best way to get them is to buy the steaks in whole primals or in "roasts" (rib eye roast, beef tenderloin, etc) and cut them into steaks yourself.

Carryover heat is what you measured. The equilibration of the hotter surfaces with the cooler insides. Getting a thicker cut steak will make it easier to do rarer temps.

That you thought this was a good idea, and then after numerous warnings that it was a bad one, you continued anyway. I don't even know what to say. You win internet, you win. also how does one manage to overcook a steak in an immersion circulator

Drifter posted:But marinating meat in milk has been a thing for a very long time. Why are you all getting high and mighty about this? Cooking with onion soup mix is also a thing that has been around for a while.

protip: dry aging the steak would have been the better way to intensify the cow, as it were. All you really did was dilute it down and now you're trying to intensify whatever remains. Besides, if all you really really want is some intensely cow flavor dense meat, just make jerky.

ShadowCatboy posted:Welp, here we go! You'd probably get a better effect by dusting the outside with powdered milk before searing. The milk sugars will boost the caramelization rate. Heston Blumenthal does something similar to chicken bones when roasting for chicken stock.
