Hey man alright

>>12347195
Don’t respond to bait, at all.

>If someone orders a well-done steak, that's their prerogative.
Indeed. It‘s also everyone else‘s prerogative to mock you for being a tastelet with shit palate.

>>12347196
It's not bait. If someone orders steak well-done then that's up to them. Nothing is more insufferable than some loser thinking he's Gordon Ramsay just because he's read on the internet that medium-rare is better. And it seems that insufferable loser is you.

>>12347191
THat's because """top chefs""" think pan fried is the only way to cook a steak. And you're right, a well done steak cooked in a pan will almost always taste like garbage. Cook your steak on a grill, or even in in an oven, and you'll find well done comes out great. Though purposely I still prefer medium well even on a grill, a well done grilled steak is still great

>>12347191
Their prerogative doesn't have to be from their palate alone.
Something like 15% of people are taking immuno-suppressive drugs, currently pregnant, no sick days at work, or other restrictions that preclude taking changes with undercooked food. A good chef knows how to cook something well down and keep it deliciously juicy. It takes more experience and care, and in a fast and furious kitchen setting, a poorly trained cook under pressure wouldn't want to bother to do it right. If you grew up poor with cheaper cuts, thin slices of cuts that should be thicker and more generous, you wouldn't understand that prime ny strip or ribeye is foolproof juicy, fatty and marbled to be delicious.
Don't tell me top chefs by default are educated in medicine, microbiology, or grew up rich in fine dining or were trained by Ruth Fertel. Most aren't anywhere near that. Anyone with shit opinions don't really matter if they are simply wrong, no matter what their celebrity status is...wrong is wrong.

Can anyone explain to me why westerns are sort of obsessed with stakes and the way they're cooked? genuinely curious, probably because there aren't many stake houses and restauraunts that serve stakes in my country. Pls explain, i don't think it's just a meme, i've never had steak in my life

>>12347229
Mutts have no taste or decent cuisine of their own, so the height of American culinary discussion is the question of how long should one heat up a plain piece of meat for.

>>12347191
Chefs actually love when people order well done cause then they can pass on the shitty meat they've been saving up for people who enjoy eating shoe leather

>>12347229
steak is the sushi of the americas

I'm glad that well-done steaks are finally recognized as acceptable. Just a small benefit of electing Donald Trump.

It’s their only sense of “”””””culture”””””

I work in a kitchen and if you order a well done steak I’m doing shit to it before it’s cooked. If you can’t appreciate a good cut of meat then you deserve it.

>>12348093
>I work in a kitchen
Opinion discarded

>>12347960
a lot of well done hate stems from dumb people mistaking well done for overdone

>>12347191
Any steak is edible (and delicious) with this.

>>12348093
>I work in a kitchen
No you don't
>and if you order a well done steak I’m doing shit to it before it’s cooked.
And this is the reason
>If you can’t appreciate a good cut of meat then you deserve it.
What does cut differences matter to how well cooked a costumer wants meat?

It just takes more skill to know how to do a well done (not overdone, you uneducated chef-wannabe)

Example of people that THINK they know well done.

You're free to eat food that isn't done well but don't contamine the well done steak with dripping brain worm juices.

>>12348093
>lying on the internet
Pathetic.

>>12348190
Pretty sure you got your videos backwards.

>>12347191
I really couldn't care how people order their steak. Much the same as i couldn't care less if they died in their sleep. If you are upset by the food someone orders then yikes.

>>12348093
This is why I always scrape a bit off my well done steak and analyze it. If it has human traces I murder a prostitute, set her on fire and smear the incriminating genetic material on her. Got two retards fried on the chair that way so far, hoping to make a few more.

>>12347209
This thread should have never progressed past this post.

>>12348217
No.
The first video proves that not to do well done, even Gordon told them.
Second proves that some that THINK they know how to do it, can't even make it.

Both videos proves that the majority of people doesn't seem to get how well done steak is done.

>>12348202
>dripping brain worm juices
It must be tough being söy in flyoverland.

>>12347191
Well done is the best way to order a steak when you need to replace the leather in your boots.

pick one

>>12347191
I honestly never know how my steak is going to come out when I order it. I enjoy what I would consider "medium" at home when I cook my owns steaks (juicy red center, blood still a little flowing but sufficiently browned on each side and crusted) but when I order a steak "medium" at pretty much any $$ and under restaurant, it's a blood mess with no char on the outside and chewy to the point of being not enjoyable. sO gUeSs wHaT i dO??? order medium-well, and just hope the cook knows what they are doing that night. Honestly if I can order a steak out at a restaurant and it's evenly cooked, I'm happy. I've received steaks before that were medium on on end and well on the other. HOW

>>12348346

LMAO

>>12348346
>hurr durr well done is leathery!!!
retard
well done is just past the cusp of medium-well
it should still be juicy and tender on the inside, just without any pinkness

>>12348356
I didn't know that Arby's has an official loli mascot. Thank god she's 54 so I can jack off to her.

>>12347238
Thread should have ended right here. It's a great way to get rid of cuts that are too small, almost out of date, or otherwise not ideal

>>12348451
Arby's mascot is a roastie.

>>12347212
reading on the internet that medium-rare is better

burning food vs having tastebuds

Who gives a shit, it's a a drawing

>>12348451
delicious waifu

>>12347191
I wanna order a steak medium rare, and then say I changed my mind and want it well done. You know chefs sometimes pick a shitty cut for a well done steak. Why do chefs have such big egos?

>>12348387
>>12348434
Don't forget the ketchup, lol!

>>12348202
This is one of the highest quality posts I have ever seen on /ck/.

>>12347191
I've had well done steaks for as long as I can remember, until I visited a friend at Yurop and he cooked us medium-medium well steak for dinner and it tasted so fucking good.

>>12348451
Based and lolipilled

Is it made from wood pulp?

Rare steak and a pint of milk is the true Patrician's choice.

Didnt Tom Collichio from "Top Chef" start at McDonalds?

>>12348130
>mistaking well done for overdone
They just respond with "well done IS overdone LOL XD" because it's easier than admitting they suck at cooking. It's similar with chicken breast, it'll be perfectly juicy if you just cook it to the point of being well done, but overcooking is when it dries out.

>>12348664
>not tartar sauce

I love freshly grilled ground beef, can I just store it in a zip lock baggy and cook like two patties worth at a time over the course of a week or do I need to just cook everything at once?

>>12348451
You can jerk off to any drawing fuckhead
It's not real

>>12347229
in a diet where meat is a huge constant the difference between a good steak and chewing wood is quite important

>>12347191
The question is why you're ordering a steak rather than a beef goulash.

Soyposters hate fun and that's hilariously pathetic

>>12347229
Meat is really cheap and we dont really use spices that much.

>>12348382
steak houses tend to undercook so they can cook it more if you're not happy with it. I've ordered medium rare and gotten raw cold center before so I tend to say medium now.

>>12348281
>the first video proves that not to do well done
wut?

>>12348093
Doing what you little faggot. You don't do shit to steaks, you cover them with a lid and "forget" about them. Plate it at 165 so it's 175 when they get it? That'll show them. Grill marks aren't that pretty? Show em big hoss.

>>12347191
I eat well done because I prefer the texture, also I enjoy how it triggers other people.

>>12351477
>Make well done
>Both contestants fail
wut?

99% of the time people who prefer well-done prefer it not because of experiencing all the types of wellness and settling on that one. Instead, they choose it because they have a fear of being served raw meat, or think red meat is gross, or something unfortunate like that. That's why people make fun of them, because it's cooking meat in a shitty way because of silly fears.

>>12352627
Nigger I eat raw pork and still prefer my steak well done.

Only reddit people use that cringe cap lock typying thing. Go back to redddit and stop ruining my board. By the way Bernie lost.

>>12351074
If I sent my steak back, and they return with the same steak I would walk out.

>>12347191
Hating well done is a reddit meme much like OMG BACON IS THE BEST XDD. It's so fucking annoying seeing people parrot them in real life especially when the president merely wants to have some fucking dinner and bam CNN shits on him for not eating a slab of meat their reddity way. Fuck.

depends on the meat type.
another thing is that when i was younger i fucking LOVED bloody steaks but i dont really enjoy it anymore.

>>12353365
It's not blood, you know..

What if its a tourist? Just drinking water in different countries can fuck you up.

>>12352938
>Only reddit people use that cringe cap lock typing thing
Only you would know.

I always order my steak medium-rare. Unless, of course, I'm sitting at a table in a steakhouse with a large group of people. In that case it's not so simple. I'm a gentlemen, so I never just go ahead and order first. I'll hold off for somebody else to start, and then I'll wait until it's my turn to order. Chances are, somebody else is going to order their steak medium-rare. I'm telling you, it's the best way to have a steak. But then the waiter will come around to me, “And for you sir? How would you like your steak prepared?” I can't say medium-rare now. I'll look like I have no idea what I'm doing. I'll look like I've never ordered a steak before, and now I'm just copying everybody else.

This is why it's great to order first at a steak place. Everyone else is definitely going to get their steak medium-rare. So when you order first, you look like you're in charge, like everyone else is following your lead. Then the second person also says medium-rare. “Very good, sir.” And maybe he really did want his steak medium-rare. It all depends on how fast he said it. If there was even a second's hesitation, it would be perfectly obvious that he was probably going to go for medium, but he didn't feel like being outdone by the first person. “I'll take mine medium … rare. Medium-rare.” A classic rookie I've-never-eaten-in-a-steakhouse-with-a-large-group-of-people mistake.

And then it goes down the line, medium-rare, medium-rare, medium-rare. But now everybody ordering, the fifth, sixth, seventh, even if they wanted medium, medium-well, it's just not happening. Nobody's going to stick their neck out like that. By the third or fourth person, the waiter is only even asking because he has to, because it's part of his job description. Bosses always gets really pissed when waiters try to save some time, try to cast out a blanket, “medium-rares all around?” question to the table.

Every once in a while the waiter will start off with a person who clearly doesn't know how to eat steak and they'll say medium or medium-well. And the next person will order theirs, extra loud, medium-rare, as if to say, please don't confuse me with my idiot friend to my left, I'd like mine medium-rare. Please. And it'll go down the line, medium-rare, medium-rare, and after two or three people, that first guy will realize his mistake, and he'll get really embarrassed, and he'll just shout out to the waiter, who's already passed him, and he'll say, “Excuse me, you know what? I'm going to go for that medium-rare also, thanks.” And the waiter will say, “Very good, sir,” and he'll pretend to cross out something on his pad and write in something else, but it will all be an act, because he's not writing anything at all. It's always medium-rare. The first person always changes to medium-rare after everyone else orders medium-rare. It's a science.

But then it gets to me, maybe I'm like the eighth or ninth person ordering. And I'm no follower, I'm no nameless face in a crowd. So I'll say “rare, please.” And everyone drops their fork and stares. I learned this trick at my friend's wedding in Iowa last summer. The rehearsal dinner was at this steak place, and the specialty was rib-eye. Delish. Of course I was going to order medium-rare, but the first person ordered rare. I was like, what? Rare? Crazy. But then the second person ordered. Rare. Third, fourth, fifth. Rare, rare, rare. There was definitely a pattern here and it became clear to me how I'd have to order my steak.

I really hope that someday I'm out to dinner with a bunch of guys and for some reason it's my turn to order first. And I'm definitely going to order rare. And I know that that second person is just going to have to order rare also. And it'll be like dominoes, everyone falling in line, everyone getting a rare steak. I'm pretty sure that's what happened in Iowa. I think.

>You're not Gordon Ramsay, you're just a fucking moron.

I don't care if it is Gordon Ramsay. Unless he wants to pay for my steak, he can take his opinions about it and cram them up his ass.

>>12347191
Stek is overrated. I'd rather have i nice, grilled pork chop.

>>12348322
That is some top-tier trolling right there.

>>12347191
I ate a rare steak last night at a graduation party, the chef at the restaurant it was at refused to cook it any other way which was odd. I could tell it was a good quality steak and was perfectly seasoned but it was so tough to bite through. Steak needs to at least be cooked to medium rare so you're not making a fool of yourself at the table struggling to chomp through hunks of raw meat. I mean maybe if you're used to eating it like that it's fine but for me, cook my god damn steak or fuck off.
Thanks for reading my blog.

I prefer mine liquid

>>12354126
There's a night and day difference between medium rare and well done. Medium rare is fine; well done is trash for trash people.
