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...

I know you didn't actually use it in this video, but your original article on the reverse sear essentially gave me a means to keep a somewhat decent relationship with my parents as I get older by cooking for them every week. It's one of the few things I know we all like and can eat and it comes out great every single time. Plus they pay for the meat so it's a win-win. Thanks.

*pets dog while describing what part he likes to eat "You like that don't you"
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.

Why I record my food, NOT myself.
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.

I’m looking forward to your future videos as well as one’s from the past, there’s so much to know and grow from.

We had two ribeyes last night. One for me and one for my wife and daughter to share. When my wife cut their steak up, she totally stole the cap. She knows what's up.

The dog's thought " Am I going to be cooked today?" haha. So cute.
James, thank you so much for doing these videos. It’s really great to see how you cook at home. I love these POV videos and it’s been a great way to learn from you in a new way.
A visual explanation that also includes petting the dog is a practice I support wholeheartedly and expect more of in the future :)

This is the definitive video on cooking steak. He touches on everything. Thumbs WAY up.
Had no idea you were the genius who came up with the reverse sear steak! Really cool. Been watching you for 6-7 months with no idea hahah

Okay I keep hearing famous food youtubers dropping your name like every other video with reverence from this video I can absolutely see why. Wowza this is fantastic, simple, hands on and absurdly informative. Thank you!
Rest In Peace Shabu, you had a nice brisket
There's no greater feeling than the smile Kenji brings to your face the way he breaks down complex scientific terms into simple analogies that you're sure to remember for a lifetime, the way he invites us into his home at this troubling time so we forget isloation since there's a warm comforting feeling of community and learning all the tricks of his trade just gives an inspiring home cook or chef the motivation to take on anything with a sense of confidence and pride this man has passion and its reflected on his plate and thats why he'll always be respected and there'll always be a smile on his face and in our hearts!

"does my wife have a medium rare cheek?" love this without context
Made me laugh a bunch when you were pointing out the cuts on your dog. They're so compliant and oblovious
love the science you included, this was awesome
Watching this video made me feel like watching a virtual reality cooking game !! Just loved it💜
I laughed so much at the beef cuts bit. Many years ago, during my gross anatomy semester, one of my lecturers did the same thing but with a human anatomical diagram. It actually kind of helped me memorize some of them 😂

Like the reality of the setting and cooking. Really hate the surgical style influencer kitchen where everything is about the b-roll. Good job bro
Not sure how I missed this - longest pan cook steak ever. However, I am super stoked to try it. My favorite line: This steak is going doing do a 3 person lunch + leftovers. This is a 1-person steak, KJ!
First time I made a propper steak at home! Thanks! I used grappa only hard liquer I had - great sauce. Gelatin - great tip. And most importantly I understood the most important thing... Ask the butcher for twice as thick slice as you think you like because the cooked shape actually looks alot thinner... that with the Mild heat... Wow... So much valueable info.
when he seasons his steak, not his dog :(

Jungmin Lee not only are they expensive, but they’re the best. an absolute pleasure to cook with. if you don’t want to pay for a very expensive pan, cooking with cast iron is perfectly fine. a cast iron pan will last you your whole life if treated properly. they aren’t that expensive either.

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.

Is it just me or is this guy a lot more cleanliness oriented than many other chefs/cooks out there
I really like this dude. No memes just straight up.
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.
