Medium well and medium rare

Girlfriend is medium well, I am medium rare. Can I cook hers to medium well, drop the temp and put mine in, cook mine to medium rare, take both out and sear?

Yep that would work

+1 for that technique.

Typically you would do it the other direction, cook both to med-rare, pull yours and raise the temp to finish hers. You'll save time by cooking both at the same time instead of having to do them back to back.

Thanks. Wouldn't hers still need to cook for the appropriate amount of time at medium well? And mine would be put in an ice bath, then brought up to temp to sear and serve?

It's easier to go from a higher temperature to a lower one than it is to do the reverse. Cook hers first, add some ice to drop the temp to your preferred doneness, add your steak, and you're good to go. You can hold everything in the bath and the steaks will be at the same temperature when it comes time to sear.

Here is a link to the same question from a week or so back. It has a few different methods to achieve your results. With that said, your method will work great!

Iiiiii dont think you should cook your girlfriend to solve the differences between you as a couple
