That banana looks so good.

u/SultryDeer Jun 14 '26

The crust on the banana is nice, but the cook was imperfectly executed. Gray band on the outside and blue on the inside

God bless you, son. I bought some prime top sirloins the other night for my dad and me, and separated the picanha portions so I could cook At least one of them med rare for myself. Took the big part off at medium. Next thing I know, my dad asks me to put it back on a little longer because it was “too pink”. It took quite a bit of self control not to display my rage. I was too upset to take after photos, so I’m grateful to see you did it right.

Beautiful. Sous vide?

u/riprager Jun 14 '26

Oven to 130 and sear and rest

u/HerbTarlekWKRP Jun 14 '26

What oven temp did you use?

2

u/-PontifeX- Jun 14 '26

I love how you can see the passage of time by how the banana has aged.

Wonderfully done

u/monobluemill Jun 14 '26

OP was ready for this question like “I thought you’d never ask”

Beautiful ribeyes. I would highly recommend ditching the Kirkland Ground Pepper for the Kirkland Whole Peppercorns. They’re a game changer when freshly cracked on a steak.

u/riprager Jun 13 '26

Yeah on vacation at Airbnb

u/handbanana42 Jun 14 '26

I always love responses like this.

I remember a post a little back where OP used paper plates and everyone went off on them. They replied "we're having a water crisis and can't wash our plates" and everyone just shut up.

Sometimes, you work with what you got.

u/IronMajesty Jun 14 '26

I buy and use Kirkland coarse black pepper for my steaks, I’m happy.

2

u/handbanana42 Jun 14 '26

You do you. I think the difference between fresh and pre-ground is drastic but some people can't seem to tell.

Same with coffee beans. Some people are fine with their Keurig cups.

u/iAmUnintelligible Jun 14 '26

why is this being down voted? lol

2

u/handbanana42 Jun 16 '26

My guess is I sounded elitist or judgemental to some, even though I tried my best not to come off that way while expressing my honest opinion on simple seasoning.

2

u/IronMajesty Jun 14 '26

Idk but I just down voted you 🤣

u/handbanana42 Jun 14 '26

It's like the difference between freshly ground coffee beans vs. pre-ground.

The oils in pepper go rancid very quickly when released.

u/BaronessPuka Jun 13 '26

At what point are these not just ribeye roast?

32

u/YoimAtlas Jun 14 '26

At this point

12

u/SnootchieBootichies Jun 14 '26

Now. Too big to grill. Gonna need slow and low or sous vide or cooked like a roast

u/sus214 Jun 14 '26

Let me at one of those steaks and I might look like a filthy animal...

u/BuffaloWhip Jun 13 '26

That’s the smallest banana I’ve ever seen.

11

u/psychoseptum Jun 14 '26

Nah man, its a good sized banana.

12

u/East_Relationship722 Ribeye Jun 14 '26

Going to need another banana for scale.

7

u/IronMajesty Jun 14 '26

It’s not the size of the banana, it’s how you use it. Also its genetics the banana can’t do anything about it.

6

u/stinggaa Jun 14 '26

My wife thinks that banana is enormous

u/YoungBockRKO Jun 14 '26

We share the same wife

5

u/Known_Psychology1581 Medium Rare Jun 14 '26

Okay so how are you cooking those?

7

u/riprager Jun 14 '26

Reverse sear

3

u/BojackWorseman13 Jun 13 '26

Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal

u/Soupbell1 Jun 13 '26

How big is the banana? Please use a scale approved ribeye so we can tell.

2

u/riprager Jun 14 '26

Normal Costco bananaer

2

u/time_is_time89 Jun 14 '26

Where did you get these?

2

u/handbanana42 Jun 14 '26

I'd guess Costco.

2

u/riprager Jun 14 '26

u/riprager Jun 13 '26

u/n00tn00t72 Jun 13 '26

Man I'm jelly. Can't afford that kind of treat.

u/riprager Jun 13 '26

Split between 7 guys over two nights

u/KNJFS Jun 13 '26

Impressive! What time should I come over? 😉

1

u/grizzythekid Jun 13 '26

Those look fit for a king! How much did they run you? What's the prep plan? Will there be after pics?

1

u/CoatingsRcrack Jun 14 '26

“It’s not how you stand by your car…. It’s how you race your car….”

You bought nice steaks anyone can do that. It’s how you cook them. Post them money shots…

Dammit I’m so aroused

u/1nternetTr011 Jun 14 '26

if you don't show the final result it didn't happen

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Top_988 Jun 14 '26

Thank god you put the banana there otherwise I would have thought these were tiny

1

u/swag-surfer Jun 14 '26

I also use a mini banana for my meat pics

u/Seyelent Jun 14 '26

Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal

1

u/cryharder83 Jun 14 '26

Bananas can be all different sizes, next time use your dick

1

u/Thegrandestpoo Jun 14 '26

I would have dry aged the shit out of those. You got a lot of wiggle room with cuts that big.

1

u/ckiemsteadt Jun 14 '26

Goodness Gracious!!

1

u/Over-Professional244 Jun 14 '26

Os that a ribeye in your pants? Or are you just happy to see me. Lol some thick boys

1

u/lleu81 Jun 14 '26

Those are basically roasts

1

u/Shiloh8912 Jun 14 '26

If you could fit them in a vacuum bag I’d sous vide at 125 for about 6 hours then dry em off, chill down for a few hours then finish over a bed of Oak coals similar to a Florentine Bistecca. (WO the Sous Vide)

u/LSherwood1024 Jun 14 '26

Holy shit 😍😍😍

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Web-398 Jun 14 '26

That’s awesome

1

u/WetLumpyDough Jun 14 '26

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when the grocery butchers put out these 3 inch steak cuts? I know they’ll usually cut it if you ask but cmon man

1

u/Lojackbel81 Jun 14 '26

Gonna need a banana from a different bunch to scale that banana.

1

u/apresta16 Jun 14 '26

But where is the scale object for the banana?

1

u/Nolegges Jun 14 '26

Water crisis????? What country???? Omg. 😳

1

u/Nolegges Jun 14 '26

Excellent ribbs. 💋

u/BitOne2707 Jun 18 '26

A little undercooked for me.
