how do you cook your beef?
method/temp
Take meat out of the fridge and hour or so before so it’s at room temp when cooking begins and salt to taste.

Cast iron pan on high, little bit of vegetable oil or olive oil (not extra virgin, the burn temp is too low) if I’m not butter basting, less than a minute on each side (top, bottom, left and right edge, rear and front edge too if it’s thick enough, till the fat starts to get crunchy on a fat cap).

Plate, add any other seasoning then let rest for at least 10 minutes before eating.

I use avocado oil...super high burn temp

Did a reverse sear in oven to cast iron pan last night...looked similar to yours

I’ve done a reverse sear once or twice but I normally don’t buy thick enough cuts to warrant it.
I had thinner ribeyes last night...worked great

just gotta keep the internal temp where you want it....I got internal to like 108 and pulled it and let it rest for 8-10 minutes(was probably 118 inside after resting)...then into the cast iron for the sear...pretty epic...no rest needed after the sear because you already rested it and the juices are locked in

I do reverse sear with 5 lb tri tips on the grill usually...that is a good time and a lot of meat for the week.

I like to sear pork shoulders and roasts before I cook them in my instapot. It works well to seal in the flavour.

You got a problem with pressure cookers there bud?
Not only that, searing a pork shoulder????

Pork shoulders are for grinding and adding to leaner sausages or for smoking.
Whats next? Are you going to tell me how amazing your instantpot ribs comes out!?!?

yep
traditional sear is great also

I do the same with roasts before throwing in crock pot or stew

I also sear the bones before I put them in bone broth

Fuck all that. Just do both.

Pork shoulder roast, pulled pork sandwiches with gravy and hot sauce, pickled beats, cheese and dill pickles.



Instapot ribs are awesome when you don’t have time to smoke them.

As evidenced by,

Ribs, wings, squash, salad, loaded baked potatoes.

I just can't do ribs or pork shoulder in the pressure cooker, my wife might even try to fight me and shes the nicest person around. I only use my instantpot for making rice and my big pressure cooker for canning and sterilizing certain types of grains that need to be sterilized.

I use my smoker when time allows.
