The blue collars around here get really upset very easily. I am actually pretty sure there is a connection between how quickly they fly off the handle, and how limited their career promotion path has been.

Don't take it personally. It's an image sharing board for poor people. (mostly)

Be assured. I am right here with you, you elitist scum.

Now put some peanut oil in the cast iron and let that bad boy heat up.

oh, you don't re-use fryers? buy a new one every time, do you? shame him for not properly cleaning it, not for owning non-brand-new stuff.

Now let it sit for awhile while we do the second fry for the fries.

>>8727174
I just let it sit out with just salt for 20 minutes.

>>8727179
I add the garlic and butter right before the steak is done cooking so it doesn't burn.

>>8727180
I like big chunks of garlic so I can munch on them after. Negative on the whiskey butter but it sounds good.

>>8727196
Why are you letting your steak sit out for 20 minutes? Doesn't it get cold?

I'd think that five minutes is enough time, and even then it has to be in something warm like my oven.

Shit, OP.

>>8727196
>I just let it sit out with just salt for 20 minutes.

Given the diminutive size of the steak, this was probably 15 minutes longer than was needed. Good job.

Fries are done. Now season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and a little bit of cayenne.

>>8727222
Why not just use seasoning salt like Old Bay?

munchin garlic sounds as the way to go, though I'd rather fry them up before; sieve them out of the oil and use the oil to sear steak in that order.

as i said previously >>8722949
never sauce for steak, no matter the budget. always butter for me
a few ideas:

>>8727009
why peanut oil?

>>8727450
You do realize that high heat is what allows you to get a good sear on the outside without overcooking the middle, right?

You just preheat the steak in the oven for about 20 minutes as low as it can go before putting it in the ripping hot skillet.

>>8727112
How do you season your caste iron?

I started taking better care of mine with regular seasonings of sesame oil and got that nice black coat that beads water that I can cook eggs on.

It seems like there gets buildup over time of just black shit on it I can scrape off though. Is that fucking normal?

I came from a senpai that didn't cook for shit this shits hard af for me.

>>8727138
Get a decent knife buddy. Spend the 50+ bucks it will change your world.

>>8727558
Peanut oil is the best oil to use for deep frying.
