I'm looking for a recipe that maximizes the term Net Meat Score = [(browning+med rare) - (medium+well)] while also enforcing steak=3cm, Rare=0%, Raw=0, Char=0, and steak starting at either 0C or 23C. Note that you have to let the meat rest for 10+ minutes to really let it finish (the default settings cut it off to early).

The best I have gotten under normal conditions is: Net Meat Score of 40, by doing:

Steak starts at 0C, 3:20 @190C , flip, 1:40 @190C. Yields 17% brown, 23% well, 7% medium and 53% med rare.

Chose 190C because olive oil. Interested if anyone has found something better.

Sous vide with no sear maximizes that: 24 hours at 57C on both sides. It yields 100% medium rare.

Fair, but I was looking for a crust :)

I don't know how to model this, but I can pretty much get this using a searzall. sous vide to desired temperature, briefly drop in ice water to lower surface temperature, then hit with a torch in bursts as desired

This is a good recipe. I tried for an hour to beat it but I couldn't. I tried an oven at 100 and then some searing at 175, but I ended up getting too much well-done.

nitrogen free!

3cm Steak starts at 0°C

280°C and 20°C for 0:30

20°C and 280°C for 0:35

60°C and 60°C for 30:00

20°C and 20°C for 3:00

yelds 73% medium rare, 7% medium, 7% well and 13% browned

take it with a grain of salt tho because the simulator does have some ugly quantization effects, for example:

3cm Steak starts at 0°C

280°C and 20°C for 0:30

20°C and 280°C for 0:35

60°C and 60°C for 25:00

20°C and 20°C for 3:00

reducing the oven pass causes the high temperature skillet passes to burn the meat and yelds 7% charred
