>flavouring your steak with anything more than salt and pepper

Super unique meat that totally can't be improved xD ps don't cook XD

Claiming to like medium rare steak the best is 9/10 times bourgeois virtue signalling and 1/10 sincere preference.

Your steak needs to be cooked longer.

>>7896952

Agreed. Medium is where its at. Anything less is just raw and horrible.

>>7896961
That's what's known as an opinion.
Well done, anon.
You may find as you progress through life other people have differing opinions to yourself.
It's called growing up and you shouldn't fear it, it's a perfectly natural biological and social function.

I don't know about those numbers, I genuinely like medium rare.

>>7897089
do you not understand or think people don't do it?

he's saying a lot of people eat medium rare steak because it's socially acceptable and supposed to show that you have culture, not that they really like it. i know people who do this, but also know people who genuinely like it.

>>7896952
>>7896961
Maybe, just maybe, some people like their steaks cooked differently than you.

>>7896943
Sometimes I go totally crazy and rub garlic on the steak before I fry it.

>>7896952
Sure some people just go for medium rare because MEMZ but I used to eat well done steak as a kid and holy shit when I moved to medium rare it was a godsend

>he doesn't brush his steak with garlic butter

>>7896952
>>7896961

I'm eating raw steak right now, faggot.

>>7898664
Why? You're going to burn the garlic and make it inedible, at the temperature it requires to properly sear a steak.

Garlic powder, maybe. But just crushed garlic? That shit is going to taste horrible when burned.

i flavour my steaks with salt pepper msg and butter

>>7897080

>steakhouse

Pick one. Never been to a place that can cook a steak better than I can at home more than a few times. And even then the price was unjustifiable.

You don't go out to eat for fucking steak for Christ sakes. You go for complicated dishes that you wouldn't want to / couldn't make at home. Ordering a steak when you go out is like going to McDonald's for a salad. Sure order what you want but it doesn't mean you're not retarded.

>having special tools means it's better
tools without skills doesn't cook the steak better

>>7899946
sure, but the person who cooks thousands of steaks every day for hours might have a bit more experience than the typical home cook. even if the skills were the same, having better tools means the steak will be better.

>>7899954
experience isn't skill, sadly
there is also the simple fact that making the steak for yourself means you can cater to your own desires, while a steak house simply cannot do that for you unless you've formed some kind of personal bond with the cooks

>>7899954

better tools? like a grill that can get up to 600 degrees is rare?

I like mine medium rare but sometimes I mess it up and it comes out rare even after resting it and I make the first cut and see then throw it back on the grill and make it well done by accident. It gets too dry inside when it's well done and I give up and give it to my dog who is on a diet also so it's bad for him, too.

>>7900001

get a wireless digital thermometer, bake it at 275 until it hits around 125 internal. Then sear the living shit out of it on a grill heated to 600-700 degrees. put a pad of butter on top of the steak as you put it on the grill so it rolls off and starts a small fire in the grill. take it off as soon as both sides are charred to your preference. You'll have uniform medium well through all of the steak, literally pink to pink all the way up to the crust.

>>7900004

medium rare, rather.

>>7899985
Cock.

>>7900004
Interesting. I will try it tonight just to see. Thanks

>>7900014

You might have to adjust your final oven temperature depending on your grill, basically you're shooting for a finished temp off the grill of 135 internal. It's all about tweaking your temps.

>>7900032
I'll be able to figure it out I think and get it close enough to right. I will post back with photos tonight if thread is still up whether disaster or great outcome

>>7896943
Does butter count as flavouring?

How was it

>>7901427
I like it.

I like my steak perfectly medium
and by that i mean in cross section
1/4 top is brown
2/4 is pink
1/4 bottom is brown

cooked on high hear so the outside is seared and slightly crispy/crunchy on the edges.

is a cast iron skillet the best instrument to cook a steak? i dont want to buy one

>>7901641
>i dont want to buy one
What does that information matter to you then?

>>7901646
my bad. id buy one if the difference is really felt. right now im just using a poorfag non stick pan from target. steaks come out ok

>>7901641
a charcoal grill is

>>7901655
You can get a cast iron skillet for less than $20

>>7901661
oh for some reason i was under the impression they were expensive.
>>7901656
i want a nice colorful brown crust on it, not some black lines

Try soy sauce.

>>7901377
>he doesn't eat ass

>>7901377
there are so many more tasty cuts of beef
for example
tail, cheek, tongue, flank, chuck, brisket

i made a strip steak today that was a little past it's best before and probably wouldn't last another day so i cooked it a little bit extra (medium-well) and topped it with pepper flakes and blue cheese

it was fucking comfy

>>7899941

>"virtue signalling"

please stop going on /pol/ so much kids, it is literally rotting your brain, that phrase does not even make sense in that sentence, you meant "status signalling".

that phrase used to mean something but now it just gets incorrectly used in every single complaint about the world written by teenage boys desperately trying to "intelligence signal" and failing miserably.

also medium-rare just genuinely tastes better, if it further distances me from the moronic prole scum that's only an additional benefit.

>>7896943
salt, pepper, garlic.

>>7896952
I genuinely like medium rare, but I will eat a well done steak also it's just not my preference.

>>7896952
Anywhere from medium rare to just below medium well is good. OP's pic does look slightly undercooked though, since if you're going for tenderness, you want the fibers. A gooey, raw texture like that in the middle will be tough and chewy.

>>7896943
>flavoring your faggotry with anything less than caring about how other people eat

>>7896952
I think people go with medium rare because they've heard it's the best and they don't know what to go with. They try it, discover it's infinitely better than the well done they've had before and they stick with it. They might be following convention but it doesn't mean they don't sincerely enjoy it.

>autism: the thread

>pepper

Why? Justify pepper. Why pepper out of a thousand different spices? Because it comes in the shaky bottle next to the salt? Because Bugs Bunny used it to make a guard dog sneeze? And what kind of pepper? Tellicherry? Malabar? Pink, green, white, black? What grind size?

Pepper is literally a meme and we can't see it for what it is.

Hey there, I'm Michael Pollan and I've got Adam Perry Lang sitting here with me. I'm skyping in Nathan Myrhvold on this one too.

You are (almost) all fucking morons.

>Doneness
Medium rare is a reddit-tier meme on par with "Single Malt only :^)" and "Swag is for boys, class is for men". Different cuts need different doneness, different thicknesses need categorically different cooking methods. Hell, the age of a steak changes everything dramatically from the difference in water content.

>Seasoning
Salt is good on pretty much everything. That's what it does, makes food taste better. Outside of that, there is no reason to treat a steak like some holy virgin sliver of bluefin cheek OR like a piece of cardboard for you to slather in spice and sauce. Be realistic. Imagine if people were this elitist about chicken!

That said, Steak is pretty much the opposite of entomophagy. It's the most first-world of first-world comforts, and requires a massive amount of land, wealth, cooperation, and logistics to happen. The fact that steaks are available to the people enough for them to have debates about how to cook them is proof of a successful society. And whether you are eating a 180-day dry aged rib eye at CarneVino in Las Vegas (APL's crowning achievement) or trying out Nathan's sous-vide, blast chill, and flash-fry technique on a grocery store fillet mignon, they can have their own special place in our diets.

Because it adds depth with its slight piquance without adding too much flavour. Also helps create a nice crust.
