Started with some angus ribeyes seasoned with our Fortune blend.

Made baked potatoes and corn of the cob to go with it. Popped in some fronzen dinner rolls as well.

Was good, but she needs to work on her timing. It was more medium than the rare/medium rare I prefer. But she learned to make a Wisco Old Fashioned, so bonus points there.

All in all, 7/10. Told her she needs to either learn by feel or use a temp probe. She lucked out and these were still flavorful and juicy, not all steaks are that forgiving...and ruining a ribeye is a sin.
 
Gotta learn somehow right? At least she has a good teacher. Looks like an amazing dinner. Job well done again.
 
That looks amazing! Congrats to the new cook! I wish her great success!

I always like to see them learning to cook at a young age, that gives them lots of time to turn into real pros!

She ain't new to the game, she competes in kids competitions and has been featured a few times on tv, which is why I'm brutally honest with her. Her dream is to own either a bbq joint or steakhouse, leaning more towards the steakhouse as there's not many in this area of TX, and bbq joints are a dime a dozen.

When I told her it was a 7/10, she rolled her eyes, so I told her enjoy owning her version of a Texas Roadhouse where they can't consistently hit a desired doneness.

I may have to sleep with my eyes open tonight 😆
 
Nice, though I'll say this about Texas Roadhouse

When I was traveling for work I ate a lot of Texas Roadhouse. I could have eaten anywhere I chose, and did, but I also ate a ton of Texas Roadhouse. The corporate AMEX had a pretty high limit and I had no set per diem. If I wanted a hundred dollar meal, I ate a hundred dollar meal.

Why Texas Roadhouse? It was consistent and consistently good.

Pick on Longhorn lol. Longhorn is the place who can't tell medium rare from medium. I've had a few arguments with back of the house with a cut up rare steak on my plate while trying to point out that it wasn't anywhere near what I ordered.

I usually order medium. Unless it's sirloin.

The fat on a ribeye is better closer to medium. And it's often a little undercooked if you order medium, which makes it about right.

To end my mini rant, if you can't cook a steak without a thermometer, stick to hotdogs. Sheesh.

(Not meant towards you, Quig, just in general)
