I'm not going to read this whole thread, but as I've said in other threads, I can't recommend the reverse sear technique highly enough. Creates a nice edge to edge pink while still getting the perfect outside. Also, +1 for the ghee recommendation, but even better than that is rendered beef fat. Most butchers will give you the fat trimmings for free and you can render it yourself.

It's sooooo easy to make, though.

Make it in the oven!

At this point I actively avoid all things organic just because people that worship the shit piss me off. And ironically, the same folks that bitch about income inequality also bitch about GMOs as though getting rid of them wouldn't yield rampant starvation.

I'll just get a couple of boxes of unsalted land o lakes and call it good...

Do you rub any olive oil on the steak before you throw it in the skillet on the stovetop?

Yes. This is the barefoot Contessa's method, and it works great. Easy and perfect everytime.

Though yes, FMB is right in that ghee is the absolute best way to go, I just don't know where to acquire it and I'm damn sure not going through the trouble of making it.

In either event, turn on your oven hood and open some windows. You'll get plenty of smoke during the high heat/sear portion on the stovetop and when you open that oven door after you put it in there for a few minutes, you'll have even more come rolling out.

That method creates a LOT of smoke.

Yeah I'm not messing with ghee or whatever, I like to keep it lean and simple.
Thanks for the tips.

Yes, in fact I recommend it. I use unsalted LoL all the time.

I tried the really nice European butter once to see if it would be better, but it wasn't.

That said, Plugra as a butter (not ghee) is so freakin' awesome.

I'm sure there are a whole lot of kitchen things you have going on that I'd dig upon. For me though there are days I don't even enter the kitchen.

Salt and fresh ground pepper, if you don't have a pepper mill you don't know what you are missing.
