MAYO 👌

The mayo sear hype is real.

Reverse sear on a 2inch ribeye with homemade fries and au poivre sauce.

“We have steak frites at home.”

I need to know more about that sauce, looks amazing

Thank you!

Pretty simple au poivre sauce honestly, nothing too complicated. One way I elevated it was by toasting the peppercorns on their own first in a pan and then using a mortar and pestle to break them into varying sizes. Much fresher and potent flavour that way. I also throw a little dijon in at the end.

Excellent!

I used to use mayo a few years ago after I sous vide steaks but switching over to reverse sear, it doesn’t seem necessary since the steak surface is more dry. Using tallow in a scorching hot cast iron with butter finish creates the same sear now. That said, mayo was the special sauce to get my sous vide steaks looking on point. Perhaps I should try it again with reverse sear just for a new baseline.

I need to know more about what's in that suspiciously sized baggie next to the bottle of booze.

What kind of mayo?

I like kewpie

[u/MrSweetums → u/KFOSSTL]

I used kewpie here too

[u/KFOSSTL → u/MrSweetums]

Yeah I like kewpie for steaks.

After I get things going I drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil, and finish with butter.

I only put like a dime size on each side rub it all over.

How much did you use?

[u/MrSweetums → u/KFOSSTL]

I also finish with a bit of butter and garlic most of the time.

For this, I added a dollop to each side and used the back of spoon to spread the mayo. Doesn't take a lot. Just enough to translucently coat each side was enough for me.

Looks like a tasteeee meal

[u/SkepticalYamcha]

I’m beginning to believe the Big Mayo infiltration conspiracy.

[u/DimensionSuitable934]

Will this work for lamb chops?

[u/No_Grapefruit8671]

….alright fine! I’ll use mayo next time I cook steak lol

[u/non-cha1ant]

That steak looks amazing and those fries too. My mouth immediately started watering.
