if you're not eating carpaccio you're not eating steak

Yup...

But honestly a Good steak doesnt need anything else, maybe other foods to have on the side. A good example is steak florentine just s n p, hot grill and about 30 minute cook time depending on how thick it is.

Although I do like a good ny strip in congac peppercorn cream sauce.

So you're convinced you need the taste of salt and pepper in your mouth to enjoy a good steak.
Jesus Christ we've got a live one.

Pepper is an overwhelming flavor. Salt brings out more meaty flavor, but is not necessary to enjoy the juicy meat flavor of rare steak

The salt supposedly removes moisture so that the sear is better. A sweet sauce overpowers all other tastes.

This is a fact, if you can't make a good steak without those things you're garbage.
>rubs every square millimeter with salt and peppercorns
That's called seasoning and is something you should do with pretty much everything you make at some point in its preparation.

The sauce you make when you deglaze doesn't have to be used on the steak.

Foolish. If you can't taste meat, stop wasting steak. Try Impossible Meat and leave the real stuff to those of us who can appreciate it.

This is only true if you have dulled your tastebuds by overdoing it all your life. It is a self-perpetuating cycle that you can wean yourself off if you want to learn to really appreciate food.

What if I like the flavor of meat as well as all those other ingredients?

[Anonymous No.13116793]

>>13116561
Yea a little sprinkle of pepper is going to really kill the flavor of a fucking 2+ inch steak.

Imagine having a brain so simple it can't make the fundamental connection between marinade, sauce, and seasoning. Here's a hint: they're all flavors extrinsic to the steak.
The only case that can be made is for salt >>13116628

A good steak doesn't need seasoning.
If you can't cook a good steak without adding seasoning and brushing off all excess salt immediately after the drying period, you're a charlatan who uses spices as a crutch for incompetence.

Adding garlic and herbs in the pan is a meme. There is a noticeable difference but it's real fucking minor.
