/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Pan fry for cooking for yourself plus a guest. Grill makes more sense for a family. Best would be a griddle to soak in juices while having a lot of space to put meat

>>18768046
>Which is better?
you tell me
i used rapeseed oil to get the tri ply stainless steel pan lubed and BASTED with garlic and butter

I know it's a meme cooking appliance but I don't mind the way steak tastes when cooked in this lil nigga.

>>18768419
There is a 0% chance an air fryer makes a juicy steak. Id bet they come out dry as fuck. Basically jerky

Threadly reminder pan frying is poor faggots who cant into a good grill

>>18768046
use a fucking microwave like everyone else

>>18768419
>he fell for the air fryer meme
i'm sorry anon but you were tricked into thinking that's anything other than a mini convection oven.

A charcoal grill imparts the smell of smoke, which is usually a good thing. A pan gives you more ability to control the juices, since pan searing tends to be easier and better than grill searing (and searing on a charcoal grill is not really an option if you've waited for the fire to cool down to cooking temperature); however, you don't get smoke flavoring cooking in a pan on your stove. I can definitely understand people who do a hybrid pan sear and then place the steak and pan together over a charcoal fire, to get the best of both worlds.

>>18768296
I'm going to be honest with you. I looked at your photo before reading the description and this steak looks disgusting.

>>18768202
A griddle is shallower, with lower walls or no walls compared to a "pan," which most people say when referring to a skillet. So I don't know how that would be better. The juices would just splatter everywhere.

>>18768728
>I'm going to be honest with you.
ok fag. post your steak

>>18768731
I can't find any photos I've taken of steaks lately, but here's a photo I took of a burger for a general idea of why your steak has such a godawful "sear," if it can even be so called.

>>18768742
>godawful "sear,"
my ribeye steak was delicious and i enjoyed it
other Anons, back me up pls

>>18768744
I've encountered a fair amount of steak-sear snobbery posting here. The fact is that it can be difficult to get a ton of sear and not overcook the meat, especially with a thin steak and when your juggling the steak, vegetable, and a starch all on the burners at the same time. Plus the meat still tastes great even with a light sear, especially if you use a quality cut of meat.

>>18768925
What else should you use?

>>18768419
You can fit a whole rack of ribs in the Big Nigga. It's a good deal with the Lawry's promo they're running at Costco.

>>18768925
bacon fat.

>>18768936
lard

>>18768728
Its not just smoke its the fat drippings falling into the charcoal that make it taste so great. Also its not like you are losing out on juices with a grill. Good steaks will retain a ton of juice as it pools on the top.

.TL;DR a grill mogs a pan

>>18768941
Yes, I know.

Good luck, homies.

>>18768744
Sear could be better but it doesn't look bad honestly, I'd thank you for it and eat. What did you cook it to?

>>18769031
>What did you cook it to?
don't usually measure temperature
probably 130 deg F
i'm afraid to use too high temp when cooking

the veggie alternative

>>18769040
I mean like doneness, I take med rare.

>>18769045
Not that anon, but I like my steak either medium rare or medium.

>>18768987
I'm going to have nightmares after seeing that

>>18769020
it's the current thing to hate

>>18768046
Who cares? Steaks are massively overrated.

As I've been doing more and more ribeyes reverse seared I've found myself liking it more medium rather than medium rare.

>>18769076
Lmao. Let me guess your preference is tofu and soy milk.

Absolute searlets. Bow before the unrivaled flavor that is charcoal grilled. Seriously though, charcoal grilled has by far the best flavor for cooking steak, outside of getting one of those super high temp salamander things steakhouses have. Even then, you're missing out on that amazing smoky flavor. Once you nail charcoal grilling, you will never go back to any other method. Unless it's raining and you dont have an awning, I suppose.

>>18769167
Another of my amazing charcoal grilled steaks

>>18769173
Bro why is it raw?

Whats wrong with propane? Hank hill swears by it

>>18769206
That's just a normal rare steak.

>>18769212
Okay enjoy your salmonella kid

>>18769167
>salamander things steak houses use
Is that the weird oven thing that apparently gets super hot? Are they really that much better for cooking steak? Or i assume its just makes it easier

>>18769212
That unrendered fat tells me otherwise

>>18768856
Please tell me this was as sous vide steak or you cooked it in a microwave.

All you need to sear a steak is a preheated pan (use an oven) or a hot grill.

>>18769020
People don't even know what's wrong with it.

Recent nutrition research shows a link between unbalanced omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid consumption and negative health outcomes, like obesity. I am not an expert myself, but for fuck sake, it's not literal poison, but it's not a meme. It's the same kind of thing with sugar, or high fructose corn syrup. A little won't hurt you, and a lot isn't going to kill you quickly, but a lot over a prolonged period of time will probably make you fat or diabetic.

Preference.
Grilled looks nicer and can add a flavour from the charcoal. It's a way to char the outside and not have a crust. You can also put a coating on it like a cajun spice mix or something.
Pan seared gives a crust, which is more texture.
Problem with pan is that you can't really put a coating on it or you'll likely burn it.

>>18768046
either cooked in a flat pan or grilled on a barbecue over charcoal.
Grill pans like pic related and grill marks are a meme (they are ok for stuff like vegetables)

>>18768994
>80% of the steak surface has no sear at all
>20% has burned bitter marks
never get the point of those. A uniform brown searing is always miles better.

>>18768856

You should've had the pan hot and ready to go, it looks like your meat heated up at the same rate as the pan did.

>>18769236
Yeah, apparently it's just a tiny oven that gets to like 1000°f. Obviously, you get an insane sear with that temp.

>>18770071
What unrendered fat? Internal temp of that steak was around 120

>>18768296
I cooked this one in duck fat

>>18768046
Best of both worlds - grilled DIRECTLY on the charcoal. No grate, no pan.

If anyone wants to try:
Get the charcoal red hot all over, get the steak up to room temp. When ready, blow strongly on the coal. The reason for this is you don't want the ash on the steak so you blow it off. Then place the steak directly on the charcoal. Don't turn until one side is ready. If the coal goes dark under the steak, move it (don't forget to blow off the ash from the spot where you want to move the steak).
Cook from both sides, use a steak thermometer if you can. From medium rare you want something around 54 degrees celsius (130 fahrenheit).
When turning the steak, remove any coal that stuck to the already cooked side.
What you get is a steak with perfect sear AND the charcoal flavor.
I know this sounds like a bad idea and you might think the steak will burn to shit, but it won't. This is seriously probably the best way to cook a steak.
You're welcome.

>>18771139
I've done this and it worked out well
that said, it's kind of pointless
a grate an inch or two above hot coals is simply more convenient and yields great results

>>18769173
mashed potatoes and black olives?

>>18768994
absolute retard pan lol
>>18770346
high IQ lad

I like boiled steak

>>18770173
Sauce?

>>18769167
can you reverse sear on a charcoal grill by cooking it over coals until it's almost at temp and then searing it with a blow torch?

>>18769020
Vegetable oils have a huge amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), particularly omega-6 PUFA. These PUFA have direct anti-thyroid and antimetabolic action, metabolize into harmful epoxides which have been implicated in many diseases (Alzheimers, leaky gut, diabetes, cancer, omega 3's form prostaglandins, the "age pigment") and generally cause oxidative stress, are estrogenic, and harm the immune system.
Canola oil is literally the worst. Goybean oil is bad too. Olive oil is OK if extra-virgin.

This is…just sad.
