Which steaks?
« on: May 03, 2017, 03:25:30 PM »
Have to pick two of these five steaks to cook for dinner. Which two, though? I'm thinking (from left to right) numbers one and five. What do you think?

3 and 4. Lots of fat for added flavor.

2 & 3,  they have the best marbling.    I like it rare, cold red center with a nice sear on the outside.

Took the two chosen porterhouse steaks and rubbed them with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and New Mexico green chile powder, vacuum packed and placed in a sous-vide bath at 120 degrees for an hour and a half, more or less

Looks perfect.   Maybe got carried away with the green stuff.

Looks great! And, no, you don't have too much green stuff, if anything you could have more according to my tastes. I'll have to be content just drooling over the pictures though, I don't get to eat red meat much at all.
