Jet-quenching is attributed to the modification of parton shower in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Jet recoiling from highly energetic direct photon (γ+jet) is considered as one of the valuable probes to study the inner working of the QGP at varying resolution scales. I will discuss the semi-inclusive γ+jet (and hadron +jet) measurement in central Au+Au collisions at a center of mass energy of 200 GeV in STAR. Discussions on the theory comparisons to the data and comparison of in-medium energy loss between RHIC and the LHC will be discussed. Finally, I will also shed light on the prospect of STAR jet measurements in this direction.
