My wife made steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes to round things out. I thought my grill marks looked pretty great.

Hey, I’m right there with you. We’re in our early thirties and I really think there’s something to be said for the simplicity of steak done right.

looks good to me man, i’m heading over for a bite
Are you sure? I only see the one steak
Cooking steak on the grill u’ll make it dryer than a fart.
Eh. It takes a bit more work/experience but it is perfectly fine for any cut of beef that doesn’t depend on the sauce/cooking liquid to hydrate it in the first place.
I personally wouldn’t do it for a rare steak (and generally prefer a pan and butter basting regardless), but for medium rare and up it is perfectly fine and the char you can get from the grate provides a texture/taste differential that is pretty much impossible to do in a pan.
And just because people always get shitty about it: Plenty of studies have been done where, with blind taste tests, people tend to prefer their steak one grade more done than they claim. But also, something like a ribeye REALLY needs to be medium-rare to break down some of the fat and tissue and ensure that that beef bomb is melt in your mouth good.
Obviously not all steaks benefit from a bit of extra cooking time… and if the word “well” is at all in your doneness preference you are a monster. But people who insist on blue/rare steak for every cut of meat are just depriving themselves.
Blue and rare just taste like wet beef. I don’t get much flavor, plus the fat doesnt render. Once you go med rare or med with some grill marks…yes please. The carmalization really enhances the flavor, and the fat starts melting to butter.
No Squirrelly Dan love apparently. The downvotes suggest people didn’t get the Letterkenny reference.
What in the hell are you talking about?
A simple, reliable and always pleasing meal.
If you haven’t tried it yet, next time try tossing the broccoli with olive oil and a bit of salt then bake it in the oven until the florettes are brown and crispy. works great with cauliflower too, you can par boil them beforehand too if you prefer the softer texture and it still works great.
We always steam broccoli with steaks because it’s just something light to go on the side of something otherwise really heavy, but yes, we also roast carrots or broccoli exactly like this all the time. It’s so simple and easy and yet so freaking delicious.
Asparagus is really good too
Now i’m hungry
I miss the r/steak subreddit. Lotsa good times talking about meat!
