Is that a filet mignon? How did it get so dry was the picture taken a while after cooking or something? Genuinely curious, looks like a delicious dinner my dude!

Lol there is nothing dry about it?

Edit: sorry that came off dickish. Yeah I was pretty much half done eating. and it really could have stood to rest a couple more minutes - but I was too hungry to wait lol

Ok sorry it just looks like it because the fibers have become so distinct and are turning a lighter color, in my experience this is a sign of moisture loss. Like when you leave a piece of cooked steak uncovered for a few minutes.

I felt the same way. It LOOKS dry even though it's not anything above medium. I can't figure out why.

The part in the middle of the cut steak appears to be where a fork pierce was while cutting crossways with a knife. This will happen even to juicy steaks. Not sure if that's what you were talking about or not?

No. It's the visible fibers throughout. Honestly it could just be an example of how hard it is to take flattering food photographs.
