Roast beef for one
 

The cut is known as "kontrfile" in Turkish:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_of_beef#Turkish_cuts (#3)
It corresponds to a US sirloin cut but I'm not sure if it's top or
bottom. I'm given to understand that New York strip steaks are cut
from it. This one was left whole.

574 grams (~20 oz) rubbed in coarse salt and dry-brined uncovered on a
rack in the fridge overnight. Oven @175 C (~350 F), top & bottom fan.
Roast lubricated with olive oil and seasoned with my meat spice
mixture; seared in cast-iron pan on presentation and lateral sides for
5 minutes total; in oven for 12 minutes; removed, set on rack, tented,
and let rest for 6 minutes.

It corresponds to strip (short loin) and sirloin (neither top nor
bottom) in U.S. cuts according to that diagram.

If you had a pictures of it I could tell you exactly what muscles
it's made up of.

Dry brining works best covered so the liquid being expelled gets
sucked back into the meat WITH the salt.

Why make us go searching for your pictures in another group, that's just
dumb. Why don't you post them here if you want us to see them??

I think you meant to say, "Please post a _link_ to your pictures." rec.food.cooking
is text-only. Hence the existence of alt.binaries.food.

The top and lateral sides appear in

kontrfile 2021.02.06.12.11.03.jpg
kontrfile 2021.02.06.12.11.17.jpg

I've got another half of the same cut in the freezer that I may do
next week. I'll take a picture of it in its "before" state.

Thanks for that tip. By "covered' I don't suppose you mean "wrapped".
What should I cover it with?

Sliced thin enough, roast beef is great on most toasted breads with melted provolone, plenty of salt, a few sliced peppers and mayo.
