Picked up a beautiful ribeye from the butcher. 16 ounces, two inches thick.
Season well with salt and pepper. Place on a baking rack and throw it in the oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius).
Take the steak out of the oven when the center reaches 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit (48-54 degrees Celsius), depending upon your desired doneness. Mine took an hour and 15 minutes.
Throw the steak in a piping hot cast iron skillet with a high temperature oil. I used canola. I seared each side for about a minute.
Don't forget to sear the fatty edges. Those glorious fatty edges.
I let her rest for five minutes.
Paired her up with some brussel sprouts and an IPA. This cooking method is by far my favorite. It guarantees an evenly cooked steak, with a nice brown crust on the outside. Enjoy!

1) Call for Deano. 2) Tell him to make you a fuckin' steak. 3) Drink his IPA.

I could never put a steak that nice in the oven. It is so much better on a grill.

is it award winning though?

It looks award winning!

Is it Award Winning
ArabManWithBigBeardYetNotATerrorist
You sear a steak in a skillet before you pop it into the oven. That way you lock in the flavours. Trust me, I cook like a fucking god.
Tarnation
Finally someone swearing at me when talking about the proper way to cook! I needed that.
hoopyhoop
Searing doesn't keep the juices in.
blaergh
This is actually a cooking myth. Searing beef performs what's called the Maillard Process which is a form of caramelization. Look it up.
ArabManWithBigBeardYetNotATerrorist
Well, well. The more you know. Thank you and @hoopyhoop for the info.
HelloToe
Those are two different things. Caramelization is pyrolysis of sugars, Maillard is a reaction between amino acids & sugars. (1/2)
HelloToe
Both produce 'browning', and depending on what you're cooking, you might be producing both.
blaergh
I believe it has to do with temperature as well. I gues caramelization is a bit laymans term here. Wikipedia explains it better than me.
ArabManWithBigBeardYetNotATerrorist
Uha. Apparently the actual sear we create in a griddle isn't even good enough. You need temps of over 700 F, like a blast furnace. 1/2
blaergh
I do believe you cook wicked steak though. I believe cooking is more art than chemistry, though understanding both helps.
ArabManWithBigBeardYetNotATerrorist
Thank you for believing in me :D.

Thank you. He cooked it for HOW long? Shit, son, 16 minutes in the oven is more than enough to get it to medium rare.

Nice browning on the sprouts, mate. So many people don't understand the importance of proper caramelization. Steak looks great too. +1
TheFlyingHellfish
I've yet to encounter a vegetable that's not incredible when roasted in the oven.
stinkynopants
How with the browning? Same as the steak?
d8ve
Don't know how OP did the sprouts - could have been in an oven or a saute pan. Either way - the key is some kind of fat 1/2
d8ve
2/2 oil or butter or both - and to not move them (if sauteing) until the desired color is achieved. Then you can move them about...
imhereforthecorgis
I put them on for 20 minutes at 400*F. Cut them in half, tossed them with oil and salt, and laid them out on a pan. Delicious!

As a left handed person, I actually eat fork/knife left/right respectively. And I don't have to switch hands to cut it up.

I always get annoyed because I have to swap the utensils in place settings. For years I thought it was just reversed because of tradition.
chucknasty
I think it's more annoying that they didn't pour their beer, especially an IPA, in a fucking glass.
TineCiel
Lost it at Canola oil... Eurgh! Use butter!!
aap71
butter's good for the crust, but it gets bitter when burnt (like me)
slouchpotato
Then use peanut oil. DON'T ruin a good steak with canola oil.

aap71
what oil isn't 'processed'? Canola oil is just pressed rapeseed oil. they changed the name for market cuz, ya know: 'rapeseed'. it's natural

asparagus baked at 350 for 10 minutes with an olive oil drizzle and some salt and pepper. perfection
Gauntlet2013
I think he tossed on the steak drippings and seared them as well, though yours must taste awesome too.
ImgurRuinedMyLife
Agree completely. F brussel sprouts
OldSwedishGrandma
Asparagus is for pork, brusselsprouts are perfect for steak in my book. I love those little suckers.

you can get a london broil steak for about $3-4 that would feed one very hungry person or two relatively hungry people.

My school has a butchering class and farm store so we can buy steaks with meal points :D but not eat the rest of the quarter... WIN!!!!
bobon123
You find steak for 5$/lb, good one for 10$/lb. 1lb is enough for 2 ppl if you add a side, bread, 2 eggs. Cooking is cheaper than order pizza

As a college student, if you find a good sale, you can get steak at a decent price as long as you don't go for the organic/free range lol

Luckily you can control completely the "hotness" by putting in more or less hot chili oil! (First attempt was painful...)

ImASexyUnicorn
Try tossing them in olive oil, sea salt and pepper and roasting them (halved) for 20-25 min at 400* F. Add pecans or bacon 2. Amazing.
NwabudikeMorgan
Roasted sprouts are fucking awesome.
AlexImguram
Instead, serve with salad leaves with a dressing made from garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and some of the residual beef juice in the pan.

If you really know how to cook brussel sprouts they are delicious.
LeadByBadExample
Nope. They are pellets from Satan's butthole. I have had them all kinds of ways, none of them justifying their presence on a dinner plate.
yellowdove
THIS. YES! Too many people I know hate brussel sprouts because they've only had them boiled or steamed. uhghghghg
thuperduperthpeshul
Yes! Especially when you cook them just right so the outside caramelizes. They're so good with roast chestnuts too. Drooling now.
KlaatuBaradaMumbleMumble
Truth. I hated them for most of my life until I finally had them sauteed instead of steamed.
NwabudikeMorgan
Cooking them using dry methods (sautee, roasting) is the way to go. Brings out a good amount of sweetness in them.
ButtsMcGee86
I hate it every time time somebody says, "that's because you haven't had mine" or "that's because you haven't had them cooked right." 1/2
ButtsMcGee86
2/2 Could it possibly be that I don't fucking like brussel sprouts?
akgoogolplex
That is a distinct possibility, but quite often people's only experience with brussels sprouts is when they're prepared poorly.
Shadows604
No, It is simply because you have not had mine
Misora
I mark the distinction at if they've ever had cabbage they liked. BS are a lot like cabbage so if you like one you should like the other.
SherMattLockSmith
Most people have only experienced steamed brussel sprouts which are fucking nasty. Grilled or stir fried sprouts are fucking amazing.
Smayds
I've had Brussels sprouts cooked in almost every way imaginable, and they always taste disgusting. Worse than Durian to my palate.

I used to hate them as a kid. I tried them again (this time grilled) a few months ago and fell in love.
