Reply to comment by Metrichex in Local Restaurant Steak by RevBT

Is it possible the flame isn’t hot enough to reach the steak but only to heat the grill?

That's actually usually what you want.

Again, I'm judging a very poor photograph, but my best guess is that's very rare, cooked on a grill that wasn't properly preheated.

it may be that the owner rushed it to take the promo photo.

I'd bet money on it.

It's also a poor cut. You can't cut t-bones thin and have them look good because the meat shrinks during cooking but the bone doesn't, so the meat doesn't look "right" because it doesn't have the visible char you're used to in most other cuts

thank fuck my boss actually listens to me ("hey, this isn't gonna look right if you don't give me a minute to do it properly") or we would have some shitty promo photos of our food.

And I don’t know. All I know is it doesn’t look cooked correctly.
