good for you buddy. one time i found sirloin strips at a now closed and defunct grocery store for $4 a pound that were unmistakably australian wagyu

>>19115785
good job pre-salting them
so many people salt right when they cook it's stupid
It takes time for the salt to pass through the meat

Those are some great looking slabs, scallops look good too

>>19115810
Doesn't matter you dumb nig

>>19115785
why no orange part on the scallops

>>19115785
Scallops are very underrated
Someone with a better palate describe them. They’re like a nice chewy buttery slightly sweet flavor.

>>19116129
They key is that they are fresh. If they're fresh, they're sweet and don't need anything besides a quick sear in butter.

>salting your scallops before cooking with large grain sea salt
Thats a big yikes for me youngster

>>19116430
imagine biting into a scallop and grinding a huge grain of coarse sea salt between your teeth

>Bruh messed up there

If you're actually eating this shit, I hope you fucking choke on it

>>19116506
Mate, nobody wants to taste a straight pill of pure sea salt, its just about taste and that fails on all counts.
Cope

>>19116506
I mean you could have put it into a cup and grinded it further then only lightly added AFTER cooking.

Why would you wanna leech moisture out of the scallops before cooking them when they sear fine on their own?

>>19116472
You don't have to grind salt because it dissolves in your mouth, anon. You'll get one bit of crispiness and then it dissolves away into your mouth, assuming you have saliva. You do have saliva, don't you?

>>19116529
Look at the size of grain used in the first picture.

>>19116534
Go into your kitchen, assuming you have one, and put a grain of that size of salt into your mouth, assuming you have that. Feel it dissolve and stick your head in your oven. Assuming you have one.<div class="xa23b"><span class="xa23t"></span><span class="xa23i"></span></div>

>>19116534
What is saliva? Also I heard we are supposed to have belly buttons? Lol where are those again? jw

>>19116540
Yeah its an overbearing bitterness and it would completely take me out of the moment eating a dish if I encountered it. There's a reason those things usually come with a grinder.

>>19116540
I want to taste the succulently sweet and tender scallop meat...
Not get some bitter foul overbearing taste.

>>19116549
>overbearing bitterness
We're talking about salt, anon. In the amounts used in OP picture you're fine. Scallops are rather thick and need to seasoned well around the outside. You would know this if you've ever cooked scallops before, but you don't even have an oven to kill yourself with because you're still posting.

>>19116562
Op is mad he ruined his scallops with huge grains of salt that overpowered the sweetness.
Its okay brother, you can buy them at walmart when they come on sale again.

>>19116567
sorry, retard

I'm done arguing with you.
You ruined those scallops end of story.
They would have tasted better with no seasoning then that absurd amount of salt.

>>19116589
I'm not OP anon, you're just a retard and I like calling people retards. I'm sure your one of your neighbors has an oven you can use for a bit.

>>19116472
>>19116510
>>19116540
>>19116567
The salt dissolves into the moist scallop before you cook it, smart guy

>>19116589
i agree it's a bit much, but it'll probably taste fine after a nice sear

>everybody talking about the scallops being over salted
>nobody mentions the visibly under-seasoned steaks

>>19116648
why even bother seasoning steaks cooked on the stove. they're just gonna go into the garbage disposal anyway

>>19115785
pizza rolls and turkey bacon?

>>19117147
You can cook a good steak in a pan. OP obviously fucked his up since he was too scared to even post a money shot.

>>19117195
>You can cook a good steak in a pan.
I think I will save that for my non-good steaks though

>>19115785
Looks great enjoy

The other anons that are bitching are most likely eating frozen pizza and hotpockets and playing vidya till mommy tells them to go to bed

>>19117233
Cooking steak and scallops is on par with cooking frozen pizza in terms of effort.

>>19116129
>Scallops are very underrated
Shut the fuck up Ramsey. Scallops taste like nothing unless you drown them in a gallon of sauce. Preferably ranch.

>>19117234
Why hound the man then?

>>19117199
I'd rather cook a good steak in a pan than spend money on a non-good steak in the first place. Unless you're one of those weirdos who buys a cow and keeps it in a couple chest freezers in your garage to eat throughout the year.

>>19117233
Whataboutism is just another form of cope.

>>19117393
>saving is for weirdos
Just american moments

>>19117248
Is someone else on /ck/ bragging about cooking a frozen pizza? No? Then here I am.

>>19115975
You one of those retards? Everybody knows a 24hr dry brine is superior you jogger.

>>19116129
They're like a super tender and nuttier version of prawns. It's by far my favorite seafood, and pairs amazingly with bacon. They got more of a grain on them than shrimp though; which makes them a very easy entry into shellfish as the grain makes it relatable.

>>19117393
>not buying butchers cuts for fajitas and shit
I don't want a tenderloin steak every time I'm hungry for beef though. stuffed flank is delicious

>>19116472
ohohoho oh no no no no no

>>19115785
I bet the marbling on that steak is amazing. The intramuscular fat is what melts down and creates flavour. Did you know you can tell the quality of a steak by its marbling?

Also whats up with anons saying pan is no good for steak? What the fuck are you using? Dont tell me you turn them into shoe soles in the grill like white trash

>>19115785
>membrane visible on two steaks
bad cuts unfit for a king you fucking peasant piece of shit. guards, kill him

>>19116589
>then
Go away, semiliterate mong

>>19117195
I got distracted

answer my question

>>19119608
They were stolen

>>19116129
>slightly chewy
M8 I had some scallops recently that were so tender you didn’t even need teeth to chew them. Good stuff

>>19117402

credible internet opinion

>>19120233
Wow, you have no idea what whataboutism means, and yet you still managed do use it while thinking you were criticizing the other anon.

>>19120257
>still managed do use it
>whatabout you tho

>>19120495
>whatabout you tho
I called you an idiot as based on my assessment of your argument. If I'd done so as a premise that would have been ad hominem, which is still not the same thing as whataboutism.

>>19116472
biggest faggot on the entire board. AND youre bad at cooking kek

>>19120519
>I called you an idiot
>that's not an ad hominem tho

>>19115975
Yes it does retard, it's one of the fundamental basics of cooking

>>19120708
ad hominem means that they made an argument based on your personal attributes, not a law requiring them to be nice to you retard

>>19120708
I explained why it wasn't, and if you'd actually read the post you would have seen that I didn't actually call you that, or anything attacking your character. I just assumed it should have been implied by my dismissive tone. I could have written a short essay going over everything you got wrong, and the two anons other than you who actually read it would probably come to the conclusion that you are in fact an idiot, but it really didn't seem worth the effort.

>>19115975
It's either salt right before or well before, just not 10 minutes before.

>>19116430
That's it? You created a thread for 2 pictures? What a cunt m8.

>>19116430
I would eat this even though it's not sloppa

>>19116444
Pan searing is superior. Especially if you're doing a garlic butter baste

>>19120839
This.

>>19121286
Butter cannot sear a steak, it can only boil it
You are arguing for boiled steak

>>19121331
Not that anon, but you lack reading comprehension. Also if he was searing it in butter, wouldn’t it technically be a light fry or sauté? Boiling makes me think of water or stock, frying makes me think of cooking in fat.

>>19115796
>australian wagyu
australian wagyu is trash though.

>>19118550
Thread got real quiet since OP blew his money load all over the thread...
