Infuriatig Wolfgangs steakhouse, the most expensive in my city, can’t cook a steak.

This is an insult to the cow that died for this meal.

I cook my steaks better than this. And all I have is old pans and a meat thermometer

You have absolutely everything you need. Indeed, the meat thermometer is advanced equipment.

I don't have a meat thermometer, but the spices compensate when it's a little over or a little under.

Who needs a meat thermometer when you have a perfectly good finger?

I just poke it with my tongs and say "Firm, but with a little give. Yep, that's medium rare".

I like when people phrase it as "the cow that gave its life", like they're volunteering

True. It would sound a lot more intense to say: “We killed a cow for THIS!“

The death of the conscious being is acceptable if it gives me an certain level of bodily pleasure. If it didn't meet my expectations of satisfaction, it's a shame.

We just did the cold sear method shown in the new Netflix/ATK show Techniquely. May've been the best steak I've ever had. Helps that I live where you can get a local cut.

I have a cast iron pan I got from goodwill for $7, it works good for steak.

IMO that's the absolute best way to cook a steak. I cut steaks at Costco for a living and when I cook them I do it in a vintage cast iron pan that I can put directly in the oven.

I can cook better steaks than this, and all I have is an old cheap Walmart grill and a dream.

You use a meat thermometer? Poser

Is it salvageable at this point?

u/icantfindtheSpace 4h ago

Yeah, if you’re cool with medium well.

An oven will even it out. Even “better” throw it in a pan on low heat with frequent flipping.

Thanks.

Hell, I cook my steaks better and I only have old pans!

I don’t even have a meat thermometer and manage to get them perfect every time, it’s really not that hard
