a bit dry.
Liberate me from this steak snobbery and give me a properly marinated porkchop any day of the week.
Look, I know I’m wrong. But I like it that way. Jog on.
Bro your jaw must be absolutely jacked.
What if someone wants theirs well done?
Then we ask them politely and firmly to leave.
This reminds me, I haven’t had a good brisket in forever.
Dissing on other people for how they like their food is so 1980s.
Steak, coffee, wine, beer, and also cigars, chocolate, and how spicy can you handle it–y’all snobs and bros can GTFO.
Make fun of it, joke, and laugh at how bad English food is, but the minute you start ranting and sticking your nose up, you can eff off.
English food isnt that bad.
Not in Latin America homie. They don’t do none this medium rare or rare. You COOK food over there.
I’ve never had overcooked churrasco. Maybe they just overdo it for the tourists?
It’s weird that people care about this. Let other people enjoy their food prepared whatever way they like it.
I presume that many people who cook their stakes well done came out of Europe during the mad cow disease concerns or grew up in other places where there were health concerns around undercooked meat.
Sadly, nothing prevents prion-based diseases. Most Chemicals cleaners, autoclave temperatures, useless.
Tols used on prion based disease victims have to be incinerated. It’s a misfolded protein not a virus or bacteria, it’s dangerous because of its shape.
Fascinating and scary.
I mean, 1700 Celsius does prevent prions.
Now that is a ‘congratulations’ level of doneness.
1700C “prevents” prions like a nuclear bomb “prevents” jaywalkers
I don’t know of any other way to stop prions, but I can imagine multiple ways to stop jaywalking, so I’m not sure your simile works.
Now that’s cooking with thermite
I like making fun of my president for his preference in how his steak is served. Well done with ketchup? Maybe you should just stick with hamberders.
Steak people are so weird about how they like their steaks. I like mine blue rare and people look at me like im a fucking monster sometimes. Just let me eat the damn cow how I want.
“How do you like your steak?” “In my mouth” It’s all good. People like to pick camps.
I think it’s silly because it depends on the cut for me. I will eat some parts uncooked, in the rare circumstances I know where it was butchered. Other cuts really taste better cooked to varying degrees.
Nah fam. I don’t care if you like tartar, that image is a war crime.
Why? You don’t have to eat it like that. Why care that someone else chooses to.
Yeah I seriously don’t understand the issue people have with this.
I’m a charred corpse snob
OK, but slice thinly, marinate w/ papain, then serve in a sauce you make with the drippings and well done beef can be fine. Bonus, this works with the cheapest cuts.
People can have whatever they like. It’s weird that people get all preachy, and bent out of shape for food someone else is eating.
That being said, I’ve met less than a handful of people IRL that actually know what the doneness of a steak is. 99.999% of people ‘know’ how to cook a steak, in the same way your horoscope ‘knows’ your future.
I am personally just done with people who will sit at the table and make comments of like just bring out the cow mooing… Will almost always throw in a backhand comment about well done steaks… And then order something medium. Pretty big gap there from what they were claiming they wanted to what they ordered. Didn’t even order it rare. I have a feeling the only reason they ordered it medium, (and it almost never comes out how they ordered it but they don’t know that,) is this stupid circle jerk ritual of fragile masculinity/ego (and it doesn’t just apply to men).
Listen if you want a surefire excellent steak, cook it sous vide. In fact my recommendation is everyone should own an immersion circulator, because you can make amazing food in it. If you think a well done steak is basically the consistency of boot leather, you don’t know how to cook. It would do everyone a favor, included yourself, if you just admitted that.
So, I’m one of those “bring it out mooing” people. But I also know damn well what doneness levels are. I genuinely enjoy extra rare steak. All that said, one of the best steaks I’ve ever had was a medium-well sous vide. The best steak I ever had was a rare sous vide. It’s amazing. Hit with the blow torch, that bit of amazing char on the surface, perfectly rare steak that was an evenly cooked all the way through. My God that was good. Sous vide cooking is amazing.
But yes, I do absolutely prefer steaks as rare as I can get them. And I’ll (jokingly, lovingly) poke fun at a friend who orders their steak well done, but I don’t actually give a shit. Like, we’re both here eating an animal that died after being tortured, ripped too young from its mother, and scared, with all the associated environmental baggage that comes with raising livestock… This whole meal will fall apart if we start picking at too many threads. Neither one of us got room to talk, y’know?
It’s weird that people get all preachy, and bent out of shape for food someone else is eating.
It’s equally weird how preachy people get about how preachy people get.
If I want to spend my life getting bent out of shape over the choices of others, that’s also my choice.
It’s weirdness all the way down.
I’m one of those who sometimes make the cow mooning joke and I know wait staff might thinking the “how original” meme, but I do to make it clear how I want the meat.
In my experience ordering meat at most restaurants is that usually is done more than you ordered, I suppose that is to avoid people ordering medium and then complaining that is undercooked.
I don’t comment or judge other people’s preferences, everyone has their own.
I always order it rare, usually I expect them to bring it out closer to med rare. I’m not much of a snob to really care so long as it doesn’t look like the picture.
I judge though. Mostly on people who use steak sauce to such an extent they can’t taste the steak itself. Or get it so well done it’s the only way to have flavor.
Hopefully you go to good places to get a rare steak. When I worked at Perkins many, many years ago… They basically weren’t set up to make anything other than “medium”. I got only one order ever for a rare steak, and I had to ask if he knew what he wanted. Not because I was judging but because of where he was ordering it. (Hell some Perkins will just microwave the thing, which given the cost of the steak is just an insult to everybody involved.)
I feel like a lot of people don’t really know what a well-done steak is, because they’ve never had a good well done steak. They’ve had something closer to char. Or a large chunk of dehydrated meat. But most restaurants don’t actually use meat thermometers, nor do most households have meat thermometers. So they use all sorts of bullshit methods that don’t actually hold up to scrutiny. And then you add on, the ‘general knowledge of what a well-done steak is supposed to be’… Where they’ll leave it on the grill for 5 to 10 minutes longer for some reason. Like a medium well steak starts at 150 and shouldn’t go higher than 155. And a well done steak is 160. And that pattern basically holds all the way down to rare. Small window of where the steak should be in a small window of no man’s land.
TLDR go vegan
Yes!
I mean, you say that, but I’ve actually had a moment of “Wait, is this what the steak people are on about?” with a vegan product before.
Basically, there’s these texturized soy chunks, which come dry in the package and then you cook them to rehydrate them before you fry them. And yeah, if you take them out of the water too early, they’re chewy AF, and if you’re too late, they become quite spongy…
No.
While I’m not vegan, we actually should. Meat and dairy is fucking up the planet. I’m thankful for every vegan out there. My wife recently turned vegan and started cooking these amazing dishes, I barely eat meat anymore. But I just can’t do without cheese. Cheese is life. Meat is super unspectacular, even a good steak.
That looks like pork
Pork steak.
Pork steak is underrated TBH.
I’m prepared for the hate but there’s something real nostalgic about shitty cuts cooked to hell like this for me. Reminds me of old family reunions with fifteen uncles swarming the single grill, “yeah, that one’s done.” Medium rare, rare for anything nicer than a sirloin tho
People are allowed to like their food cooked however they want it. There is no objective standard for how something tastes.
The very first time I ordered steak, I was asked how I wanted it done. As I was a child, I had no clue what that meant. I was told the names of how you could cook steak without knowing what they meant. I settled on “well done” because I wanted them to do a good job of cooking it.
I ate my steak well-done for probably 30 years after that. I now like it medium, but I still will enjoy a well-done cut. There’s no need for anyone to be a snob about it.
I’m a big proponent of letting people do whatever the hell they want as long as it doesn’t involve someone who isn’t consenting. Gay sex? Cool. Well done steak? Sure. Country music? If that’s what you’re into.
For really good cuts I’m a rare guy. But the way you eat your steak has absolutely no effect on my enjoyment of my steak.
Country music rocks, I never understood the hate. Bruce Springsteen Nebraska, Johnny Cash, Willie Carlisle, etc. are all great acts. I honestly see the “anything but country” crowd as a horseshoe-theory proof to the “anything but rap” boomer argument
I actually love loads of old country and a bunch of really new country. When I talk shit like that it’s about whatever the fuck was happening with pop country in the 90s, bro country, and whatever the fuck all the rah rah 'murica shit that’s been happening since 2001.
Willie, Waylon, Cash, Jones, Carlisle, Parton, Mandrell, Rondstadt, and Lucinda Williams are national treasures. Nebraska is one of the best albums ever released.
On the newer side, you have folks like Childers, Amigo the Devil, Whiskey Myers, Jason Isbell, Drive By Truckers, and a bunch of others who are out there doing amazing work.
But if someone wants to enjoy Toby Keith, Florida Georgia Line, Zach Brown, Garth Brooks, or Shania Twain that’s their business. That don’t befront me long as I get my money next Friday.
Yea, I like medium-well personally. I can cook it so it doesn’t get dry and chewy though. If your steak comes out like the op it’s a skill issue.
people I know dehydrate a piece of meat, call it well done, then call well done the worst way to cook a steak. fools just can’t cook something more than one way.
Just add ketchup for the full Trump experience.
🤮
