Honestly, one of the worst steaks I've ever eaten was in Paris. :lol:

Just read his take, though need to watch vid (eating alone in restaurant)...end of ride treat...no steak. Really interesting. And just the opposite of virtually every credible steak house I know of. They fire well over 1000 degrees to achieve the sear.

Photo looked delish too

I think a lot of it plays into whomever is cooking it and their taste. I have found many methods over the years but it also depends on your own preference and the preference of the people you're cooking for. That said the hot as fuck grilling a cowboy ribeye on both sides is a tried and true method. Knowing a few ranchers I get whatever cuts I want and normally depending on the cut I change up my methods between indoors or outdoors or if I don't feel like manning the pit I have reverse seared. But for me it comes down to preference.

Imho, objective factors:
  1. Quality of the beef.
  2. Salt.
  3. Proper done=ness / internal temp.
  4. Maillard reaction.
Everything else is either an attempt to maximize or optimize some aspect of those details or just a traditional/regional/preference-based variation that may or may not actually make a difference to the end product.

Ain't no steak but I'm about to go on an adventure prepping this here fella for Sunday, I will post more pics as I prep. This is about 23lbs though so it should be tons of fun.
