It’s weird that people care about this. Let other people enjoy their food prepared whatever way they like it.
I presume that many people who cook their stakes well done came out of Europe during the mad cow disease concerns or grew up in other places where there were health concerns around undercooked meat.
Sadly, nothing prevents prion-based diseases. Most Chemicals cleaners, autoclave temperatures, useless.
Tols used on prion based disease victims have to be incinerated. It’s a misfolded protein not a virus or bacteria, it’s dangerous because of its shape.
Fascinating and scary.
I mean, 1700 Celsius does prevent prions.
Now that is a ‘congratulations’ level of doneness.
1700C “prevents” prions like a nuclear bomb “prevents” jaywalkers
I don’t know of any other way to stop prions, but I can imagine multiple ways to stop jaywalking, so I’m not sure your simile works.
My point is more that 1700C will prevent basically any organic threat
Now that’s cooking with thermite
I like making fun of my president for his preference in how his steak is served. Well done with ketchup? Maybe you should just stick with hamberders.
Steak people are so weird about how they like their steaks. I like mine blue rare and people look at me like im a fucking monster sometimes. Just let me eat the damn cow how I want.
“How do you like your steak?” “In my mouth” It’s all good. People like to pick camps.
I think it’s silly because it depends on the cut for me. I will eat some parts uncooked, in the rare circumstances I know where it was butchered. Other cuts really taste better cooked to varying degrees.
Nah fam. I don’t care if you like tartar, that image is a war crime.
Why? You don’t have to eat it like that. Why care that someone else chooses to.
Yeah I seriously don’t understand the issue people have with this.
What if someone wants theirs well done?
Then we ask them politely and firmly to leave.
Look, I know I’m wrong. But I like it that way. Jog on.
Bro your jaw must be absolutely jacked.
Comes from all the nonsense I talk.
This reminds me, I haven’t had a good brisket in forever.
Dissing on other people for how they like their food is so 1980s.
Steak, coffee, wine, beer, and also cigars, chocolate, and how spicy can you handle it–y’all snobs and bros can GTFO.
Make fun of it, joke, and laugh at how bad English food is, but the minute you start ranting and sticking your nose up, you can eff off.
English food isnt that bad.
OK, but slice thinly, marinate w/ papain, then serve in a sauce you make with the drippings and well done beef can be fine. Bonus, this works with the cheapest cuts.
Not in Latin America homie. They don’t do none this medium rare or rare. You COOK food over there.
I’ve never had overcooked churrasco. Maybe they just overdo it for the tourists?
Liberate me from this steak snobbery and give me a properly marinated porkchop any day of the week.
People can have whatever they like. It’s weird that people get all preachy, and bent out of shape for food someone else is eating.
That being said, I’ve met less than a handful of people IRL that actually know what the doneness of a steak is. 99.999% of people ‘know’ how to cook a steak, in the same way your horoscope ‘knows’ your future.
I am personally just done with people who will sit at the table and make comments of like just bring out the cow mooing… Will almost always throw in a backhand comment about well done steaks… And then order something medium. Pretty big gap there from what they were claiming they wanted to what they ordered. Didn’t even order it rare. I have a feeling the only reason they ordered it medium, (and it almost never comes out how they ordered it but they don’t know that,) is this stupid circle jerk ritual of fragile masculinity/ego (and it doesn’t just apply to men).
Listen if you want a surefire excellent steak, cook it sous vide. In fact my recommendation is everyone should own an immersion circulator, because you can make amazing food in it. If you think a well done steak is basically the consistency of boot leather, you don’t know how to cook. It would do everyone a favor, included yourself, if you just admitted that.
So, I’m one of those “bring it out mooing” people. But I also know damn well what doneness levels are. I genuinely enjoy extra rare steak. All that said, one of the best steaks I’ve ever had was a medium-well sous vide. The best steak I ever had was a rare sous vide. It’s amazing. Hit with the blow torch, that bit of amazing char on the surface, perfectly rare steak that was an evenly cooked all the way through. My God that was good. Sous vide cooking is amazing.
But yes, I do absolutely prefer steaks as rare as I can get them. And I’ll (jokingly, lovingly) poke fun at a friend who orders their steak well done, but I don’t actually give a shit. Like, we’re both here eating an animal that died after being tortured, ripped too young from its mother, and scared, with all the associated environmental baggage that comes with raising livestock… This whole meal will fall apart if we start picking at too many threads. Neither one of us got room to talk, y’know?
I’m one of those who sometimes make the cow mooning joke and I know wait staff might thinking the “how original” meme, but I do to make it clear how I want the meat.
In my experience ordering meat at most restaurants is that usually is done more than you ordered, I suppose that is to avoid people ordering medium and then complaining that is undercooked.
I don’t comment or judge other people’s preferences, everyone has their own.
I always order it rare, usually I expect them to bring it out closer to med rare. I’m not much of a snob to really care so long as it doesn’t look like the picture.
I judge though. Mostly on people who use steak sauce to such an extent they can’t taste the steak itself. Or get it so well done it’s the only way to have flavor.
Hopefully you go to good places to get a rare steak. When I worked at Perkins many, many years ago… They basically weren’t set up to make anything other than “medium”. I got only one order ever for a rare steak, and I had to ask if he knew what he wanted. Not because I was judging but because of where he was ordering it. (Hell some Perkins will just microwave the thing, which given the cost of the steak is just an insult to everybody involved.)
I feel like a lot of people don’t really know what a well-done steak is, because they’ve never had a good well done steak. They’ve had something closer to char. Or a large chunk of dehydrated meat. But most restaurants don’t actually use meat thermometers, nor do most households have meat thermometers. So they use all sorts of bullshit methods that don’t actually hold up to scrutiny. And then you add on, the ‘general knowledge of what a well-done steak is supposed to be’… Where they’ll leave it on the grill for 5 to 10 minutes longer for some reason. Like a medium well steak starts at 150 and shouldn’t go higher than 155. And a well done steak is 160. And that pattern basically holds all the way down to rare. Small window of where the steak should be in a small window of no man’s land.
It’s weird that people get all preachy, and bent out of shape for food someone else is eating.
It’s equally weird how preachy people get about how preachy people get.
If I want to spend my life getting bent out of shape over the choices of others, that’s also my choice.
It’s weirdness all the way down.
TLDR go vegan
Yes!
I mean, you say that, but I’ve actually had a moment of “Wait, is this what the steak people are on about?” with a vegan product before.
Basically, there’s these texturized soy chunks, which come dry in the package and then you cook them to rehydrate them before you fry them. And yeah, if you take them out of the water too early, they’re chewy AF, and if you’re too late, they become quite spongy…
No.
While I’m not vegan, we actually should. Meat and dairy is fucking up the planet. I’m thankful for every vegan out there. My wife recently turned vegan and started cooking these amazing dishes, I barely eat meat anymore. But I just can’t do without cheese. Cheese is life. Meat is super unspectacular, even a good steak.
The best way to make men into toxic masculinity go absolutely malding is showing up to their grill party and asking them for a well done steak :3
(Then telling them you are actually vegan and leaving)
Ok, I’d be mad, but because you’re just making me waste food. You can eat whatever the hell you want.
Very valid point, but even in this hypothetical scenario I’d of course say the second part before any meat is wasted on me. (should have specified that)
And TBH I don’t think I’d ever do that IRL or even consider it, I still think it’s a funny shit post tho LOL
That’s cool, most of us can respect a good joke like that, especially if you got a goblincored aesthetic.
Sorry for the late ping, but I only just noticed your username and I love the mention of Yiddish; it’s one of my favourite languages I want to learn one day :)
(Me being interested in linguistics, Yiddish/Jewish culture/history (especially Bundism) and having grown up with both German and Russian)
Language=cool
Current bullshit with Palestine=not
I love you random Internet stranger.
:3
I’m a charred corpse snob

people I know dehydrate a piece of meat, call it well done, then call well done the worst way to cook a steak. fools just can’t cook something more than one way.

and well done steaks. if i see a speck of red it’s going back. you better cook my food with well done steaks
The only time a steak should not have at least a tiny amount of pink is when it’s used in a stew or something similar that’s boiled for hours.
I need all meat to be over-cooked if I want to eat it, because I have intestinal issues and if it’s too raw I can’t digest it as well. Also causes terrible pain and all that. I don’t have enough piping left to suffer from diarrhea the same way anymore, but getting dehydrated and having to empty the stoma bag three times in an hour isn’t much fun either. It also might be a texture issue; raw meat is more slimy and that can be a big no to some people… etc.
The point being, even if you don’t respect personal tastes, there’s always people that will need the meat to be well-done to be able to actually eat it. And most people probably don’t want to openly admit it if they get violent diarrhea from it being slightly raw
Yeah that’s fair. Like the vegan person I responded to earlier, I’m not going to make anyone eat anything they don’t want. Just don’t waste it. And I can’t eat red meat almost at all(but I still do every other week) cause I got gout.
Honestly it’s not like I gorge myself on steaks either, I’m usually eating fish and poultry because those digest better. I’d gladly be vegetarian even, but vegetables and beans sadly digest even worse than red meat does, so that’s off the table. Health issues around food is just generally a subject that’s often forgotten, and that doesn’t benefit a lot of people
Dudes(agendered) will see this conversation and be like “hell yeah!”
Always fun to bring serious subjects into meme discussions!!
Did you not see the second word of this sub’s name?
I’m just fun at parties like this :)
