Decided to reward myself for my birthday. Bought 3 pounds of NY strip from Walmart.

I turned the fan on and only seared the front for 2.5 minutes other side for 1 on high heat then threw it in the oven @ 300 for 3 minutes.

What did I do wrong?
I've got a shit ton of other raw food, I'm actually debating just throwing it away as I can't take this much embarrassment again

What would you have preferred? Got a pretty good deal - porterhouse would have been much more expensive

Failure to understand and recognize the smoke point of your oil.

Look here: http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/05/cooking-fats-101-whats-a-smoke-point-and-why-does-it-matter.html

Safflower oil is an excellent all around oil for cooking, and even for salads, as it's neutral flavored and has a high smoke point.

The ideal time to add your steak is when the oil is starting to shimmer in the pan and barely starting to smoke. When you add your protein, it will sear properly, and cool down the pan to prevent major smoking.

Using the sear / sear to oven method works best with thick steaks, but if you insist on doing it with shitty grocery store specials, sear both sides, jam it in the oven at 350, than pull it after 1 minute and let it rest, and you should be close to medium rare.

I didn't put oil in pan, I just oiled the steaks so that seasoning would stick.

I personally blame the weak kitchen fans - will get safflower if there is a next time..

Would vegetable oil work okay for steak?
Thanks

Exactly.

>if

Quit being a pussy.

Cooking for skinny college bitches is among the easiest ways to get them chasing after your cock.

Do it again, and keep doing it until you get it right.

I'll be expecting full updates.

Yes, but safflower works better and doesn't leave any flavors on the steak the way vegetable oil can. Peanut and safflower are the way to go.

thanks red

This was definitely the last time I use olive oil on high heat - will use peanut next time
