Turning a $1 steak into a $100 steak
« on: May 10, 2026, 10:14:41 PM »
Nothing but the best for mom tonight.  On my journey of cooking the best steak, this is the top so far, along with being the best round steak I've ever made.  $6 top round roast didn't quite reach filet levels, but it's tender & juicy - the equivalent of a good New York Strip.  The cheapest steak was actually the bottom roast, but I decided to splurge on the extra 50 cents 'cause it's Mother's Day.  Would you like to know more?  Watch I turned a $1 steak into a $100 steak:

Cooked perfectly to medium with a crust this time!


$6 steaks, I could do this every week


I skipped the MSG, no Aji for me. And I have to figure out how to make compound butter.


Sharp knife first! I learned how to sharpen knives recently. Sharpall is the best mid-level diamond sharpening stone you can buy



Look at those beautiful $6 steaks



Drybrine and tenderizer for 6 hours, little bit of liquid smoke, and Wagyu tallow injection.


I feel like I could do botox injections on myself.


Clarified butter



Did a reverse sear in the oven. Using my virgin cast iron pan to sear and baste with butter, fresh garlic and rosemary


Finally putting my bacon press to use.
