- BXRWXR, on 09/02/2008, -2/+82They left out the fact that you NEVER put ketchup on a steak.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 09/02/2008, -5/+73Meat is murder!
Delicious, delicious murder! - inactive, on 09/02/2008, -0/+46If you need to be told that, you're beyond help.
- lukemorris, on 09/02/2008, -6/+43Everything you need to know about steak:
1) Grill it
2) Eat it - inactive, on 09/02/2008, -0/+32I think there is a special place in Hell for people who do that
- BadseedJR, on 09/02/2008, -3/+33I don't hassle you to eat meat, don't hassle me to be a pussy.
- j3ff86, on 09/02/2008, -5/+32Michael: Guys! Beef: it's what's for dinner! Who wants some man meat?
Dwight: I do! I want some man meat!
Jim: Michael, Dwight would like your man meat.
Michael: Well then, my man meat he shall have. - daebhid, on 09/02/2008, -4/+29Hitler was a vegetarian and Burt Reynolds is not. One of many reasons to eat steak.

- themarq, on 09/02/2008, -4/+24"Remove steaks from the heat when a meat thermometer reads 115 to 125 degrees. "
Uhh what? The second you poke my steak with a thermometer is the second before I poke out your freaking eyes with my steak knife.
No holes... jeez - ninjadave, on 09/02/2008, -3/+23Vegans experiences higher rates of annoying everyone at parties, wedding receptions, get-togethers.
They also experience lower rates of fun. - RaulMuadDib, on 09/02/2008, -0/+17Hitler
- metapop, on 09/02/2008, -4/+20here's a tip on temperature- simultaneously with your left hand touch your tip of your thumb to the tip of the following finger, and with your right hand squeeze the meat beneath your thumb with your right hand. this will demonstrate how firm the meat of the following temperatures are-
thumb/pointer finger: rare
thumb/middle finger: med rare
thumb/ring finger: med
thumb/pinkie: med well
being gentle is the key, don't squeeze the fingers too hard. it's a pretty helpful trick in determining steak temperature. don't listen to the "cartilage on the tip of your nose" nonsense. - DrunkenPirate34, on 09/02/2008, -2/+18Hey, the way I see it is: If god didn't want us to eat them, why did he make them so damn tasty?
- BillE3, on 09/02/2008, -2/+18A Certified Diabetic Educator will not tell you to go "vegan". They will tell you the recommended portion amounts of anything you want to eat including meat, poultry or fish and how to count carbohydrates. Even some of the vegetables and fruits are high in carbohydrates which can overtax the beta cells in the pancreas. Attend a "dietary medicine class" taught by a CDE, even if you are not pre-diabetic.
- Pandatot, on 09/02/2008, -0/+16I'm sorry, but the website is like 1 million times better at explaining it then the parents post.
Thanks for the site though. - Pandatot, on 09/02/2008, -4/+19Am I the only one who has no idea what you're trying to say here?
Make an 'ok' sign with your left hand with various fingers and then squeeze the meat with your right hands thumb?
What? - SexyFarts, on 09/02/2008, -2/+17I've never even heard of that. Who the ***** puts ketchup on steak?
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -1/+15Ah, but then you have committed the even greater sin of allowing a steak to become dry and overcooked.
- nbcaffeine, on 09/02/2008, -0/+13Yup. There is a very fine line between age and rot.
- hokie47, on 09/02/2008, -2/+15I like steak too, but I don't understand all the hype about cooking it. Compared to other food steak is rather easy to cook. Basically you get a good cut of beef, season it if you want to, sear it, then cook it to taste, rest it, then eat it. It's very easy.
- fhernand, on 09/02/2008, -1/+13"Beef must be aged to allow natural enzymes to break down fibrous connective tissue that holds the muscle together" == it has to rot a little?
- churler, on 09/02/2008, -2/+13... Meatatarian...
- alwaysthere, on 09/02/2008, -2/+13Alton Brown will tell you how to cook a steak.
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KrjeJDNKUA&feature ...
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiQ0VOJmCbg&feature ... - Zundapp, on 09/02/2008, -1/+12I used to work cooking steaks in a pretty nice steakhouse. We cut our own meat there. Here's the thing, when you cut a sirloin butt or strips (MMM NY Strips) there are good steaks, not so good steaks, and what we called gristle bombs. People who order rare get the best steaks, mediums are the not so good steaks, and guess what the guy who orders well done gets. If you ever send out a gristle bomb as a rare or medium rare, you're sure to get it back. Let that be a lesson you you medium and up eaters, No matter what you pay, you're getting crap. But I guess it's OK since you won't be able to tell the difference anyway.
- kent1146, on 09/02/2008, -1/+11No. No.
I can have a delicious steak, with before and after-dinner drinks, some fine single-malt scotch and a cigar, and I'll still want pussy after all that. - inactive, on 09/02/2008, -4/+14or steak sauce!
- SkippyDoorknob, on 09/02/2008, -2/+12We don't want yer kind here!
- mogebier, on 09/02/2008, -1/+10But you will be an unhappy veggie-eating anemic ass hole.... WHOOPS TOO LATE!
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -4/+13Medium Well might as well be Well done. Anything longer then medium and the steaks ruined.
- airencracken, on 09/02/2008, -6/+15Charcoal >> Propane
- Erythroxylum, on 09/02/2008, -6/+15In your face, Hindus.
- DrunkenPirate34, on 09/02/2008, -6/+15Ketchup is OK on a terribly overcooked and dry steak.
- dave122, on 09/02/2008, -13/+22If it's not still bleeding it's too well-done.
- SoundJudgment, on 09/02/2008, -0/+9Da True! Everyone knows the ketchup is meant for the potatoes!
- serif69, on 09/02/2008, -1/+10They forgot rule #1 of cooking steak: LEAVE IT ALONE. Don't poke it, prod it, stick anything in it, or move it excessively. Turn it only up to 3 times once it's on the grill/pan: halfway through the first side, turn it 30°; turn over; halfway through second side, turn it 30°. Remove. If it's in a pan, only turn it ONCE. And use tongs for God's sake.
And rule #2: let it rest. I give mine about 15 minutes to settle. Sure it won't be piping hot, but it'll be nice and juicy, and that's the whole point, isn't it? - inactive, on 09/02/2008, -2/+11But no life.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -3/+11Cast iron works well too.
- shutaro, on 09/02/2008, -1/+9Taste the meat, not the heat!
- tjex, on 09/02/2008, -1/+9What about covering the steak in foil and resting it for 5-10 minutes?
- vuthy, on 09/02/2008, -0/+7Oh man, the "squeeze the meat beneath your thumb with your right hand" part totally threw me off.
For others who were confused, "meat" there means "fleshy part of your hand below your left thumb" not the steak. - ShooterMcGavin, on 09/02/2008, -0/+7Searing does not "seal juices in". It doesn't.
It's all about flavor.
http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/Season8/myths/myth_ ... - maxmccabe, on 09/02/2008, -0/+7I love The Smiths.
- ShooterMcGavin, on 09/02/2008, -0/+7For the thousandth time... searing has nothing to do with "sealing juices in"... it really does nothing to keep juices in.
It's all about flavor. Bottom line.
Alton Brown tells us so:
http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/Season8/myths/myth_ ... - shutaro, on 09/02/2008, -2/+9...if you're a lion.
- PullingTeeth, on 09/02/2008, -0/+6That was awful.
- Stavrosian, on 09/02/2008, -1/+7Searing in a cast-iron pan, adding butter halfway through and rapidly spooning it over the meat before transferring the pan to an oven to rest is the way.
I mean, if you're going to be exclusive about how you cook a steak you may as well do it properly. - inactive, on 09/02/2008, -1/+7And... why did he make them out of FOOD?
- kent1146, on 09/02/2008, -3/+9Gotta disagree with you there. Grilling is awesome, yes. But sometimes I'm in the mood for that nice crust that forms when you sear it in a cast-iron pan. And sometimes I'm in the mood for a prime rib roast (yes, technically that's a roast beef, and not a steak, but it's still friggin delicious).
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -2/+8Go back to veggie town
