Centrist take: If you can’t get a decent sear on a gas stove you need to learn how to cook.

    I’m wondering if that’s a butter knife, or the steak was so hard it wore the knife down

      The Frankish Emperor Charlemagne, later in life, suffered from health problems from eating too much meat. His physicians told him that he should switch from roasted to boiled meat, which he chafed at. Having never boiled meat because I don’t eat much meat, I assumed it was royalty having Royalty Problems™.

      Looking at that, if it’s a result of boiling, I’m starting to think instead that was cruel and unusual punishment by his doctors.

        It’d basically be stew meat minus the flavor from browning the meat before hand.

    That looks like an overcooked pork chop.
    And it looks disgusting.
    I pity the fool that has to eat that.

      What’s the appeal? Meat is gross, but putting that aside why eat it as close to raw as you can get… Always seems like the equivalent of I’ll have my coffee black, like having any cream / sugar or in this case, cooking it, makes less of a statement.

        Because red meat is more tender. But searing and cooking give it flavour. Besides health reasons for pork and chicken. Beef can easily be left rae completely in some situations like a steak tartare or seared for just a little 2-3 minutes to create flavour and a crust but leave the juiciness and tenderness there be leaving it more raw.

        As someone that usually drinks black coffee, adding steamed milk for me is usually a texture thing when drinking an cappuccino also dilutes the coffee with something warmer and sweeter, just creates something different then there was in the first place. Exactly the same as I said with the steak tartare vs a smoked brisket or like some stewed meat.

        If you already think meat is gross, how do you expect to understand why someone would like it prepared a specific way?

        That being said, the more rare the meat the more flavor you can taste. If you cook steak too long all you can taste is the seasoning. Raw is too chewy for me, I like rare to medium rare but I’m sure blue rare has even more flavor.

        Also, ordering coffee black is definitely not a statement 😂 I like my coffee black because sugar is poison and I’d rather consume it from pies and ice cream. Milk takes a lot of the coffee flavor away too. If I was drinking 7/11 coffee I would probably need sugar and milk to mask the terrible taste but when you use good coffee beans you should be able to taste it.

    Damn. Well, enjoy your disconcertingly pale steak. Try not to get mad cow disease.

    Honestly, why do these assholes regard acts of self-endangerment as “owning the libs?” “I’m gonna run outside without a mask, get COVID, and die a miserable death! That’ll show those commies a thing or three!” Yes, I’m very “triggered” by your easily preventable deaths. Please don’t kill yourself with your own stupidity. I couldn’t go on without your fourth grade insults and desperate, performative machismo. Stop. Please. Oh no.

      what boggles me is that politicians encourage it! like sure they have no empathy and just want power, but in what universe is it a winning bet to make your voter base actively endanger themselves?
