good for you buddy, ignorance must be bliss :D

Actually the Hawaiian stuff is the best. It adds a slight sulfur and charcoal taste to foods.

As for all the people busting my chops, why spend 10-30USD on a piece of meat and then not care about getting the most out of it. A real McDonald's crowd here, I guess.

It is necessary to be that guy in every thread? Nobody is impressed. Really.

And back to steak....I'm a black & blue gal - If it's not cold in the center, I can't eat it. Anything more cooked is overdone to me.
 
48 replies on the merits of seasoning, cooking or undercooking a slab of meat. On a tech board! You guys would start an argument in an empty room. Not that I don't like it but have we discovered who and why has been down voting us all?

Newsflash: people's preferences vary. Get over yourself. You too, KnightWRX.

I buy top quality cuts and I marinate because... :eek: I like it that way. :rolleyes: This shouldn't matter to you or anyone else that isn't eating what I'm cooking.
 
Somewhere between medium rare and medium... Dang, I miss a good steak. Hard to find a decent (affordable) steak in Tokyo.

What's fancy about fresh herbs/pepper/chilis ? The "fancy" part was important, try to follow. ;)

We can't ever discuss anything here. So what if the preferences differ, can't we discuss it in a thread asking how we like our steak ? :rolleyes:

That's why we can never have nice conversations, always someone to say "people's preferences vary, don't discuss yours!".

It's not the discussing, it's the belittling of differing preferences that I think sucks. This is a thread about steak! It should be way more fun and delicious than this!

It should be, but too many people are going "medium!" for that to happen. :p

By now, I don't know why you don't just have me on ignore, you never seem happy with what I post and always feel the need to try to mother me or something.

her big thing, just bring the cow by and I will cut a piece off myself and have this candle heat it for me! Ha.. :)

You can't properly seize the meat right without a better heat source than that. A candle will ruin the piece of meat, just go tartare (which is always good, though I prefer fish as a tartare myself).

Now that is how you ruin a perfectly good piece of meat :p

way to diss an amazing meal:rolleyes:, why's barbecue sauce so bad, of course red-wine sauce is even better when i am lazy than barbecue is the easier choice. :D
 
Medium-Rare if I am at a good quality high end steakhouse.... Medium if I am at a TGIF, Applebees or something like that.

Rare, although I find lesser restaurants in the US hesitate to provide it, but over here I don't have a problem.

However the cost is much different, as a 500g sirloin and two beers tends to run around 500SEK or about 70-75 USD, so they tend to keep in rare, if you want it rare.

"Lesser" restaurants, most here in the states won't serve anything under 120F. Go some place that charges $70 for a decent steak dinner and you probably can't get anything under 120F, give or take 5F from resting.

Why the aversion to blood ? Soaking it up with a good tender and soft baguette is the best part of eating steak.

When I've spent decades avoiding anything with pink in it blood just sends me past the point of being able to eat it. It is all in my head for sure but I prefer not to see blood on my plate. I also don't let about 95% of food that I consume touch. The exceptions are corn and mashed potatoes (which I believe should be considered one side) and a couple other choice items.

I can see why that could be a big step… Well done!! Now you'll never look back… Kind of like switching from Windows to Mac huh.

This is true. I've learned quite quickly (finally) that even a lesser quality piece of steak will always taste better if cooked on the medium side. I also don't go to steak houses often because I've discovered a nice cut from a local butcher over my coals yields similar results.
