SV NY strip, second run

[sandyut]

This is my second NY done SV. I am diggin it. Still dialing in my temp in steaks. first one was 131, dropped it to 129 on this one. I think next one will be 125 - 2 degrees didnt make much difference. Looking for a touch more rareness. But still juicy and tender and delish. made wilted spinach to go with.

The only issue on this one (minor) was I think I didnt get the cast iron hot enough and the rub glued to the pan :( I think I will try the nonstick grill pan next for fun.

Inside looks perfect . Do you add butter in the cast iron when doing the sear ?
You have me wanting to SV something . Nice work .

thanks chopsaw

I oiled the cast iron same as I have before. it seamed real hot... not sure. maybe the rub had sugar in it? its not clear.

SV is pretty cool. Soon as I can get more time I want to do an eye of the round 24 hours... A few of those have been posted and look great

Lots of dry rub sticks and is cakey on the pan. I scrape to the side or remove so it doesn't burn especially with some sugar in it and sear with clarified butter and reapply.

dr k good tip! thanks.

I bought a torch too. I think I will whip that out next time now that I think about it. Should have done that last night. crap! spaced it in the moment. Wife doesnt like the torch - she got all twitchy when I was playing it. but its freakin fun! Who doesnt need a torch-I mean come on man! everyone does.

I got this weed burner for Xmas a year ago. Going to melt some Ice later on the steps and season with salt but I'm sure that Strip steak tastes way better and is way more tender. lol I just hang the cylinder over my shoulder and move the flame around. Great for weeds, ice, starting camp fires, charcoal smokers. Everyone needs one just so people say, "what's that!"
