/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Am I the only one who cooks steak ahead of time?
I come from the supermarket with 5 steaks and I cook them ony cast iron with a little bit of salt and pepper then when they cool I put them in a plate with foil and inside the fridge then I have one every night for dinner

I've spent thousands of dollar on them and I've eaten the most expensive cut at restaurants, cooked my own, from rare to well done and all I've felt is that it is average at best. Eating soup feels way way better.
did the fucking farmerniggers scam everyone by paying shills to promote this mediocre food?

Steak thread.
Discuss steaks.

More importantly, spoonfeed me on what kind of steaks I should buy for a single person and what to look out for when determining the quality of a cut. Why you would buy x type of steak over y (beyond price difference)

>microwave steak
>Half of it is ice cold
>Half of it is burning hot
Why the fuck do people use this garbage?

What are some easy to make sauces that go well with Steak and mashed potatoes?
Also, I would like to know the ingredients.

Why is there an obsession with steak among a certain crowd of people?
The idea that our ancestors were eating steaks all the time before the existence of factory meat is dumb.
And I don't see how steak is "manly" when it's something 8 year olds eat because it's plain.
Furthermore, it is reminiscent of the cringe early 2010s bacon obsession.

Steak is fucking overrated and I'm sick of people pretending it's not

What filthy, unspeakable things will you do for a nicely seared steak?

dubs decide what i eat for dinner

How do you make the perfect steak?

What cut?
How long to grill or pan sear?
Butter? Herbs?

ok but how do i make it good

I undercooked a steak earlier and ate it anyways. Had a big shit event and thought I was fine after, but now I've been dizzy for a couple hours. Am I gonna die or nah?

op here. i was gonna say i should start putting chili powder and lime on everything but i remembered i don't intentionally eat chicken or fish anymore. i do eat steak but the perfect seasoning for that is already butter and rosemary

Does anyone here season their steaks with cocoa powder? If the answer is yes would you mind explaining why? My grandma used to do it but nobody really liked it and whenever someone would ask her why she seasons the cut with cocoa she would just tell us to fuck off and die. She took that to her grave.

Aright anons. I decided to try something other than mcchickens. I have a steak. What do I do to marinate and/or season it? I’ll be cooking in cast iron, as I don’t have a grill.

After seeing how pretentious people get about how a steak is cooked, I have confirmed that steak is the most soi of all meat. What would be the most Chad meat?

met a qt3.14 Brit here on business for a few months, invited her over for dinner; what’s something I can cook here that shows cooking skill but won’t make me look like an try-hard American?

How do you cook your perfect steak?

chicken's better

didn't read, will still eat meat, cope and seethe

Ordering steak at a restaurant (unless it's specialty, like kobe or dry-aged) isn't worth it. You're paying a % markup on an already expensive ingredient for the chef to basically throw it on the skillet, flip it once, maybe finish it in the oven, and serve it to you. Why not just buy and prepare it yourself? This applies to any dish with expensive ingredients but simple preparation, since the cost of the ingredients is the biggest driving factor behind a menu item's price.

On the other hand, I'd rather order something that consists of relatively cheap ingredients, but is labor intensive or otherwise difficult to make at home. Any type of stuffed pasta will typically cost less than a steak due to the lower cost of ingredients, and yet you're paying for someone to make the pasta, make the filling, make the sauce, and put it l together.

>Letting steaks rest and get cold after cooking makes them better because... IT JUST DOES OK??

Is steak overrated?
