I love my steak rare and I can't believe that some people like their steak well done. My mother used to make it well done and it's always been dry and chewy, only edible with lots of sauce. But more and more people seem to argue that you "just need to do it right". Some people say that a well done steak can still be juicy and tasteful. But I couldn't find any proper tips on how to do it. I wanna try it (with a cheap cut) and make a direct comparison. Is anyone experienced with this?

Chefs around the world agree, there are no redeeming qualities to a well done steak.

>> No.6717870

>>6717830

When people say they want a well done steak they dont really mean it.

They dont want a steak that is cooked so much that you cant see any pink in it.

Usually they just hate blood, and they want the steak cooked in a way that there is no blood in it that's visible.

But they still want the steak to be juicy.

The best thing for a person like that is a longer slower lower temp cook on the steak. So it takes longer to make it properly.

The best thing to do is get them to eat a sous vide steak, because they will l probably like it.

When a steak is cooked properly, you should not see alot of blood in it.

Just a pinker flesh.

Why?

because it's inherent to eating an animal
it's the same as 99% of the people who don't eat meat off the bone
if you need a disconnect between you're eating an animal, you shouldn't be eating an animal

Alright now. The sous vide method sounds worth a try. But aside from that nobody actually knows how to cook a well done steak without making it dry and tasteless? Is it even possible?

I think he means if they're afraid that they're going to eat blood if the meat isn't cooked through without pink.

>>6717877

There should be no blood in any steak that you buy. Nearly all of it is removed during slaughter. What you are seeing is myowater.

>> No.6718035

In my experience its always lib arts educated white women who won't eat steak because of "blood" just like they won't eat chicken on the bone.

They'll only eat boneless skinless chicken breasts that come frozen in a bag,

Worth a try ?

Sous Vide makes the best steak possible.

Its called a Reverse Seared steak and its the right way to do it.

You have been cooking steak backwards your entire life.

How have you lived so long and not tried a Sous Vide steak ?

No cook who isn't a complete faggot will say no. If you want dry meat, he'll give it to you.

Some meat can be cooked well done but they should in theory be fatty. Otherwise you're eating chewy, rough, tasteless shit.

Not much help here lol. I honestly like a well done steak.

I do not like the taste of beef at all lol. I like it cooked to oblivion, then I smother it with bbq sauce.

I usually have a pork chop or chicken breast while everyone has steaks. Can't stand that red meat.

>> No.6720366

>>6720350

And if you're talking about cheap steaks specifically- that's how you make them better. You don't really gain anything by not cooking bad pieces of meat well done. That's what marinating and BBQ is all about, making lower quality pieces of meat delicious. Barbecue is what you want to get into for well cooked meat, but simple marinades are less complicated.

same thing with chicken breast, there's a difference between well done and overcooked (inb4 faggots)

you can also lightly salt the outside of the steak and let it sit overnight, the salt seems to make it more tender.

i think rare steak is only good if you have an incredibly high quality dry aged steak, otherwise well done is actually better.

well done steak will never be as juicy as medium, or even medium-well, because at the temps involved myofibrin contracts irreversibly, so that it squeezes water out of the piece but doesn't soak it back in no matter how long you wait. it just shrinks and stays shrunk
this being said, well-done can be a good eating experience, provided there is enough fat to substitute for the lost juices

Doing it with a cheap cut won't prove much. I get really nicely marbled ribeyes sometimes and I once accidentally cooked it med-well with hardly any pink at all. It was really good, I'd say better than another ribeye that I cooked too rare once. I think the fattier cuts shouldn't be too rare, the fat needs to render. When you get a shitty cut, it won't have much fat marbling and will need to be rare to taste ok.
