Is steak a meme?

how can i make steak water?
i mean the water that oozes with flavor that comes out of the steak once cooked
i want to make the most steak water possible and drink it

>been browsing /ck/ for some time
>Hear about seasoning cutting board
>Give it a shot
>Can taste none of the seasoning and steak now has the taste of what I can only imagine as the cutting board
Where the fuck did this shit start?

I have 4 ribeye in the fridge, a cast iron frying pan and family coming over. Can someone explain the Maillard reaction anod how best to make use of it, to an anon who's mildly curious, but cbf to interpret any of the shit online explaining it? Thanks.

Anyone here try cooking sous-vide? I've done it and it turns out like magic.

Stupid question.
Went to a steak house today with my senpai and my mom gave me her left over steak(~6oz)
I was wondering what's the best way to reheat it without drying it out.
She got it medium rare.
I'm thinking probably wrap in tin foil and let it heat up in the oven on low heat?

why do white people love steak and other unflavored meat so much /ck/? you literally have to dip it in sauce every time in order to enjoy it

What's your favorite type of steak? I recently finished cooking some flank. I think I'm getting the hang of it. Kinda wanna try bottom round next.

completely delicious

Just bought a few semi decent steaks. Show me your best steak rubs

Is steak the ultimate meme food?

>Doesn't have a lot of flvaour but people kid themselves into thinking it's good because it's expensive
>If you're eating it rare you might as well go outside and bite into a cow you find in a field
>Nerds eat it to "prove" how "manly" they are

I'm getting bored of steaks with just salt and pepper or garlic and rosemary. What other spices/herbs go good on a steak? I usually get ribeye or sirlion.

What is your favourite way to cook steak and why is it sous vide?

NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME ON THIS:

My Poor Anon's Sous Vide Steak

1. Set your steaks on a plate and let them sit at room temp for about 45 minutes. Maybe longer if they're thick-thick. Goal: get them warm before cooking. Makes meat more tender to get to room temp before cooking.
1. Get a largish cooler, even a cheap styrofoam cooler will do (that's what i use). If styrofoam, line it with a garbage bag. Place it in the garage, or bathtub, just in case it leaks and you can dispose of the water you're about to put in it more easily.
2. Heat up a giant pot of water, maybe two if the cooler can accommodate it. Get the temp a few degrees above where you want the doneness of the steak at, NO MORE.
3. Salt the steaks only at this point, no other seasoning. Put them in separate water tight plastic bag. Cheapo ziplock will do.
4. Pour your hot water into the cooler. Throw the steaks in there with them. Close the top and make sure the seal is good. You'll lose a few degrees of temperature, but it will maintain temp for a good long while.
5. Wait about 1 to maybe 2 hours max. Personally with your thickness I'd do 90 minutes.
6. Remove steaks from cooler and the bags. They're going to look terrible and anemic at this point, but we're not done yet.
7. Oil the steaks generously with your fav cooking oil. Season steak to your liking. I might add a little more salt and then the pepper. Personally I don't' like to get fancy with seasoning.
8. Get your skillet, preferably iron, searing hot on the stove. As hot as you can get it.
9. Add a generous couple tablespoons+ of butter as you add the steak. Sear each side, including the fat cap and smaller sides about 45seconds to 1 minute give or take, not much more though. I'd start with the smaller sides first. As you're searing the flat sides, take a spoon and constantly baste the top of the steak with the butter. The maillard effect of the slightly burned butter and pepper will add a lot of flavor.
10. Enjoy the best goddamned steak ever.
