show me your stove and pan and I'll tell you

>cooking is a requirement to put fires out lolololol

>>14656590
I don't have access to my phone at the moment. I can tell you it's gas, and the skillet has been used before for bacon and some other meats, but nothing crazy.

>>14656595
It's not a requirement its just tradition that you take turns cooking at work. Some guys are cool with being terrible at it so they just end up not cooking and just doing the dishes. I'd like to be a cooking guy.

How is your steak terrible?

>>14656581
The seasoning you have is good. Montreal seasoning is good too. Iron skillet. I turn my oven on 500 F. and put my iron skillet in it while I let it heat up. When the oven is at temp, I put take the skillet out and sear the seasoned steak (just as is no oil or anything) for one minute per side then I put it in the oven for 2 to 2.5 minutes per side depending on how thick the steak is. Then I put a pat of butter on each steak while I let them rest. I like medium rare.

This whole post is Gold. Thank you! I've got oil but no butter.

1) use real garlic if you want garlic. basic salt/pepper and butter can still make for a good steek
2) You want to use the iron skillet. Get it pretty damn hot before putting the steek on
3) Every burner is different. You want a pretty good amount of heat coming out. Experiment. Have good steek.

If you aren’t good at cooking steak, you aren’t good at cooking steak. Man up and accept the fact that cooking meat solely on its own while making it appetizing is much more difficult than you previously believed. Resolve yourself to cook things that aren’t “manly” but are still delicious, such as creating your own pasta sauce, making a soup or stew, or slopping up some curry.

>Buy meat thermometer
>Cook till internal temp to desired doneness
Congrats you're now an expert steak cooker.
If you want it to be completely mindless buy a sou vide cooker and just sear the outside on a very hot pan.

>>14656611
okay, just don't use the oil, you won't need it then. The steaks for that method should be well marbled. Like a ribeye. The fat in the meat should be good enough.

>JUST STICK A THERMOMETER IN IT
The ultimate “I actually haven’t cooked a single thing in my life nor have I used an oven” post.

>>14656615
Well I'm just a new kid that just started his career. Prior to this job I really never thought of taking an interest in cooking. I'd think practice makes perfect just like most things.

Wait, how many are you cooking for, and what has been cooked for you by the other guys?

>>14656581
>Here are my questions regarding steak:
Salt, pepper and rosemary (fresh is better) is a winning combo for steak, in my opinion. Could throw some garlic, if you want, but not necessary, for me.

>>14656632
Listen here you fucking faggot, is there already someone who cooks steak well? Then he’s the steak guy, you’re bottom bitch cook guy, get the fuck over it

>>14656641
Now that I got my own home and am starting my adulthood, I'd like to learn how to do it well for home. Why are you so angry?

>>14656615
>cooking is hard, guyz

It’s easy to cook a fucking piece of meat, but doing it right? Doing it better than someone with years of experience? Good luck, if you aren’t naturally talented. There are exceptions, but most people aren’t naturals.

>>14656641
The whole point of OP trying to learn is so that there can be TWO good steek guys. Maybe other steek guy doesn’t want to cook the steek, know what I meen?

>>14656628
Based retard

>>14656661
Actually this is right. One of the other guys that cooks has been on the job 30 years. He's just getting old, and it's only proper and right that the younger guys relieve him and let him have some down time as he's on the way out.

>>14656581
Watch this show.

>>14656581
You do let it rest after cooking, at least 5 mins. I use oil for the pan as it goes higher in temperature without smoke, but I put a slice of butter on top when my steaks awaits being served.

>>14656669
I can't afford cable with my current paycheck and bills right now. I do share a netflix and prime account with family though. Is it available there?

>>14656656
>cooking is hard, guyz!!

>>14656641
I bet I can cook better with practice.

>>14656656
>line cook can't understand that literally anyone can do his job
Only a single yike.

>>14656678
It was on prime but learn to torrent bro wtf. The world is in your hands. Get qbit torrent and to to pirate bay.

>>14656581
Suck their cocks and they’ll love whatever you cook.

>>14656960
>literally anyone
>line cook
1. I’m not a line cook and never will be
2. You’ve never seen a food gore thread if you think literally anyone can cook because it simply is not true

>>14656595
they literally sit around all day in a fucking giant dormitory and just fuck around to pass the time until they're needed because some retarded negress put water in a frying pan full of grease

Take the steaks out 15 minutes before cooking. Salt and pepper on the steaks, both sides. Don't be shy with it. Heat up pan. Melt butter. Throw in some rosemary and thyme. Smash some garlic cloves. Throw it in the pan. Put the steaks in. Cook them until they're done.

>>14657682
Anyone who isnt a complete retard can cook a decent steak after at most a few tries. Millions of videos exist on cooking steak like there are on building a PC, learning python or homebrewing apple cider. BBQing most meat is kiddie shit.

>anyone who isn’t a complete retard
Ding ding ding! And anyone asking how to do it on /ck/ rather than google is...?
