A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Was looking for this comment.
I had an air-fryer long before i started to put steak in it, i just assumed it couldn't come close to doing it myself in a pan.. Till we tried it after an exhausting day. Never went back.
I would also still highly recommend finishing it off in a pan but overal the process is much easier and the steaks reliably good.
Yeap, kinda the epiphany on my end. Had a steak I was wanting to reverse sear but already had the oven set for something else. Figured the air fryer was just a fancy oven and gave it a shot. Steak came out better than normal and have been doing it ever since.
I haven't tried finishing it in the air fryer yet, been worried it might not sear correctly since it's not getting direct heat.
Try it on a smoker.
As much as I love smoking meats, steak in a smoker is disappointing every time. I've found that pan frying in cast iron with butter provides the most consistently delicious steaks. Even better than the grill because the all the tasty juices stay in the pan and infuse with the meat.
Edit: Second best is Sous vide, finishing it off on the stove for a good sear (or hit it with a blowtorch to minimize cleanup). Perfect "set and forget" method because the juices also stay with the steak and it won't cook beyond your preset temperature, resulting in a perfect medium-rare every time.
Ain't nobody got any time for that. Imo smokers are overrated for the amount of time and effort you have to deal with them.
If I want to do a fancy steak I'll usually just do a sous vide.
Thats why I love my pellet grill.
It gives you a product 80% as good with 80% less effort.
