POV How to Cook a Steak

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Wanna know where a steak comes from? My dog shabu will demonstrate. Here's my complete guide to steaks: www.seriouseats.com/2012/12/t...
Remember: eat your steak the way you want it, not what someone else tells you you should want. And FFS, if anyone starts giving you grief about preferring your steak medium or even well-done, just block them out of your life or at least out of your dinner. It's your steak, cook it as much or as little as you want.
Personally, I find that the higher the fat content, the more well-done I like it (maxing out at about med-rare to medium for a really fatty ribeye or wagyu).
I just went with a traditional butter-basted technique for this one, rather than the reverse sear, a technique I developed for Cook's Illustrated in 2006. If you want to know more about that method, here's a guide: www.seriouseats.com/2017/03/h...
And here's my guide to steak myths that need busting: www.seriouseats.com/2013/06/t...
And here's my guide to the Hot Fat Flash, my favorite way to finish a steak before serving: www.seriouseats.com/2017/03/t...
And here's a non-video version of this butter-basting technique: www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2...
PLEASE READ!
The coronavirus has hit many folks hard, including first responders and hospital workers, individuals and families who were already food insecure, and service industry employees who are, for the large part, currently out of a job.
My goal is to help fix both these problems in the best way I know how to contribute: organizing people, and cooking food.
If you would like to donate to our free meal fund, head to www.toasttab.com/wursthall/ where you can buy a boxed meal for someone in need. These boxes go directly to the frontline workers and food insecure families who have been hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. They also allow me to hire back my kitchen team to cook and pack these meals (in a safe, clean way). So far we have served nearly 500 meals, and the number goes up every week.
If you would like to make a monthly recurring donation of any size, head to my Patreon account at / kenjilopezalt . 100% of the proceeds go directly to the free meal fund. You can also help by buying my books at bookshop.org/shop/kenjilopezalt where 100% of my sales commission goes to the free meal fund, and an additional 10% goes to independent book stores around the country.
Finally, stay safe. Here is my guide to food safety and the coronavirus, written with the consultation of virologists, food safety experts, and infectious disease specialists, and kept up to date as new research emerges: www.seriouseats.com/2020/03/f...

    The reason why the juices flow out is simple physics. When you heat atoms they become more active and matter expands, this is why the juices flow out. As the atoms cool they become less active and the juices stop leaching. You will notice that when taken straight off the heat source the protein is plump and then contracts as it cools down.

    @@___xyz___ I think there is also variation in what people’s bodies want as an ‘ideal’ diet - my SO feels and does fine on way lower protein intake than I do, for example. I tend to have more muscle mass naturally (I don’t work out but I have a lot of bulky muscle because that is just what my body defaults to where my SO is more a ‘runner’s build’ type) so I think perhaps our bodies just have slightly different baseline needs. So I’d need more steak than my SO does for it to be a proper meal for my body. If I don’t get enough protein after a while I feel crummy - tired and sore and cranky.

    They had some nice looking ribeye at the market and I used this method and it was amazing. Best steak I've ever made. One of the best 4-5 steaks I've eaten in my life. Kenji, I so appreciate the details, the lack of sped up footage and cuts, it makes the techniques so much easier to learn. I think what I was doing wrong in the past was blasting my steaks on super high heat, using cast iron (which is slow to react if temp shift is required). The basting looks fancy on youtube and it does add to the finished dish (I got the fat on my steak actually crisp like cracklin in places), but the prep and temperature you cook at make a much bigger difference. Also leaving the meat whole. I don't know why I've been cutting up my meat before I cook it. It's so much better served sliced against the grain like that, and way better for kids, it because they don't have to figure out how to cut up a whole steak. Also, it's a small thing, but I always appreciate that you are cooking for two adults and a kid, same as me. It's hard to figure out quantities sometimes for the odd number. I would never have thought I could feed three people and have leftovers with a single steak, but I did.

Now watching this I feel like I’m actually in a class with the amount of things I’m learning. The basic concept of osmosis explained without directly defining it, explaining different cuts of meat and even using your dog as a visual example, I haven’t learned this much applicable knowledge since I took wood-shop in high-school!

    For leftover steak, what I love is to cut it really thin when it's cold and put it in a panini with some sharp cheddar. So goddamn good. I honestly look forward to it more than the steak itself.

    ended up trying this without the letting it sit/waiting. used pretty good ny strip cut and tried the oil/butter combo, i like how you did that. didn't do the sauce or extras but i poured my pan oil/butter/garlic mixture from the steak into a bowl with asparagus and tossed then baked in a pan with an amount of oil resembling a downpour on a new england street so i bent the aluminum foil into a little tub on a baking sheet. 400f for 20mins and put the cooked hot asparagus on my cut up steak. think there was a little bit too much salt on my steak, glad i cooked with some fine cracked black pepper though i like the spice and it helped balance out. i think i could pan fry some potato chips with some garlic as i cook my steak and make a sour cream/chive dip while the asparagus is going without losing any time. as a single dude i think this will be my new sunday dinner until i get bored of it but appreciate your techniques and loved the commentary.
