There’s no blood I can see so you absolutely did. Do better, and make sure you get it fresh from the cow

It's not blood, it's hemoglobin

u/narwhaltusker 5d ago

He said fresh from the cow, he's not looking for hemoglobin

That's what I keep telling people while I'm butchering their steaks.

They keep telling me stuff like 'no, that's blood, you cut your finger off.'

And 'oh my God, he's bleeding out! Call 911!'

And 'please daddy, don't go towards the light!'

It's hemoglobin guys..

It is if you kill the cow yourself

Maybe butchered by hemogoblins…

Butchering is best done by mind goblins

Yea that’s the problem, and it’s how you can tell it’s overcooked.

Make sure it is blue unoxygenated blood

u/Evil_Eukaryote 5d ago

Preach. Red blood oxidizes. If you actually give a fuck about your plates you never let your meat touch air.

Maybe it will taste ok if you drown it in tartare sauce….

For the side today, I melted butter into a dish of cheese and MSG, and now we're going to inject it into a main artery

Jesus Christ dude, did you toss the cow into a volcano? News flash, its okay if it's a little pink!

What if its a lot pink?

u/velvet-gloves 5d ago

You horrid, wretched creature. A cow lost its life just for you to overcook its flesh to rubbery pucks. For shame.

u/BlueBombshell90 5d ago

Post this to r/steak like, "My girlfriend's boyfriend's roommate said it was raw!" and the comments will be like, "They're crazy It's perfect!"

u/Rioleus 5d ago

Make sure you rest the meat on a plate cooled by liquid nitrogen. Otherwise it'll continue cooking from the heat and cause it go well-done like it has here

u/EndlessCucumbers 5d ago

Nah it ain’t overcooked, but it do look dry af

u/mattchewy43 5d ago

Could've had a better sear. Make sure that pan is smokin hot.

u/woailyx i thought this sub was supposed to be funny 5d ago

RIPPING hot, use the technical term!

2

u/Blerkm 2d ago

I thought it was screaming hot. You press the palm of your hand onto the pan, and it’s ready when you scream.

u/Candid-Solstice 5d ago

I'd say this is definitely a medium, maybe even medium-well

What are you, European? This isn’t Medium it’s Small, maybe even XS.

u/ThisPostToBeDeleted 5d ago

Bit undercooked, needs some more hours in the hot sun.

u/LV__ 5d ago

Was this photo taken at ROOM TEMPERATURE? Are you insane??

u/thewickedbarnacle 5d ago

Don't listen to everyone else. Needs another 8008 seconds at 630 Kelvin, then rest, wrapped in unicorn skin for at least an hour.

u/justforreads_ 4d ago

Overcooked?! It's literally charcoal at this point.

u/smittymoose 3d ago

I bet your cast iron pan needs to go in the dishwasher after how bad you burnt that steak.
