| FOOD I'm in the mood for a food thread. If it's boring? I don't want to hear about it. A twist on something? Yeah.

When I say real butter it’s just got to be real butter. If it kind of comes apart and oily it’s not 100% butter….

But I do use some compound butters every so often… now when I cook with butter I always brown it 1st
There is a reason I have capitalized REAL. ;) You can still have a compound butter with REAL butter. You just have to do it. I've done everything from oysters in a butter to @Bamabww and his honey.

Talk about wild coincidences. I've got a lime, radish, and a butter thing going in the kitchen right now to go on a potato.
 
Got a story about me and April when we got married. She takes her steak rare, med at that time it had to be done. I can now that it med rare and med. Our daughter is like her mother and the rarest, the best for her.

The one time "Moo" is appropriate.

This isn't suitable for work. When it comes to a steak, I want it just like a woman. Now, let your mind run with that.

After the got married when we did go out to eat. When the food got to our table and it was in front of us, I would take my knife and stab her steak, tell her I saw it moving!:ROFLMAO:
 
How do any of you cook your steaks? What you put on it as you are cooing it, do you us sauce? Rib eye mostly.
Garlic, salt, fresh cracked pepper. When I feel like something different I will grind coffee beans as fine as I can and mix a bit of brown sugar with it then rub on the ribeyes a bit before grilling. Chuckwagon steaks

That's different. But makes sense. It's about like a pan seared...I'd imagine the brown sugar makes a crispy coating and keeps the flavor/juices inside.

Can't say I would do it...

Good movie line "How would you like your steak? Oh knock off its horns, wipe it's nasty ass and throw it on this plate" I can eat one like that but I prefer a good sear.
 
Talking about rare, April father would eat it raw and hamburger meat was one of his favorites. Till he got very sick eating the HB meat raw. April would try hard to get her hamburger steak cook rare. We were at one place that had her sign a waver.

Take my burgers medium, can't do rare there. It's pretty hard to get a real rare steak in most places, good steak houses are about the only spots who get it right in my experience, most are medium rare.

We went to an Italian place and they had a tenderloin medallion app which my wife ordered. It came out raw and sliced thin, she looked at it and we swapped appetizers.

In both cases, it all depends on the meat in my view/experience. IE: I have several pounds of meat in the freezer for burgers. It's bison and ground sirloin. Medium rare with both...no worries.

When it comes to ground beef, and the like, I don't want a hockey puck. But it needs to be cooked.

Again. Picky. Ground beef/Chuck? On the grill. The aforementioned, I'll do in a skillet or a number of ways.

My fifth grade teacher had my mother and I over one day for lunch. He cooked burgers, in REAL butter with onions in a cast iron skillet; covered. It's like some of the stuff I saw my grandmother do in the kitchen. It stuck with me. To this day, when I'm cooking a burger with the ground sirloin/bison? In a cast iron skillet, with REAL butter and onions, covered. (It's all about the temp here as well.)

A "haunt," as @It Takes Eleven would say. You look at the outside of this place and you probably wouldn't think about going in...but, the steaks. It is what it is. A bar. A saloon. A "red-neck" establishment; though no tank tops are allowed. 🙃

My gawd...I know they are getting their steaks from somewhere in Illinois. The owner hasn't said where. I've asked...a few times.

The rib plate pictured...DAYUM.

I just remembered.

We received the invitation because he came into class with his pants unzipped. I wrote a note (one of those front row kids if you know what I mean) upside down to tell him. Out of appreciation for discretion ... and I'm not one to be discrete, so they say.

I cook my burgers to medium well for the rest of my family but medium is really how I want mine. I like a mix of ground chuck 80/20 and the cheapest highest fat i can get usually 73/27. Cook them on the grill mostly but cast iron sometimes. Whichever way I want it really hot to get that outside crisp and keep the inside juicy. 1/3 lb is about the size, don't weigh or anything just usually get 3 per pound. Salt, lots of pepper, garlic, little soy, worcestershire, and beer then light mix.

I like bison steak but I want some grease dripping out of my burgers. bison and venison are just too lean for me, use that for tacos or soup.

I do hamburger and gravy covered with onion like you're talking about. Take burgers and onions out, make gravy then put them back in. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.

I'm with you here. But, this goes back to the Bison. If I lay out a 1/3rd lb ... it'll be that when it's done. This is along the same lines as the reason I buy organic chicken. There's no water infused, so it cooks to size. Now, the ground sirloin? There's your gravy mix. The ground Wagyu I got...that'll be some gravy.

I had an "experience" with Venison and Jager years ago. I don't touch Venison. It was at a beach house on Folly...and damn that rings true.

Sort of funny...hadn't had Jager in years until the other day when Tim was in town.

OH, since we are here. Jager does a good job as a marinade.

Never would've thought Jager for marinade. Haven't had any in probably 25 years and definitely don't want any. Never tried ground wagyu, is it worth it? I liked the Kobe we had in Japan but honestly it was just too fatty, just kind of melted. I like my steak too be tender but I do wanna know I'm eating meat. Had some 120 day dry aged over there as well. It was good but had kind of a mushroom funk to it.

Folly sure isn't a gulf shores type beach.

I love Venison, about like Bubba Gump when it comes to that, fried deer steak, grilled tenderloin, brined and smoked sirloin, Venison stew, etc. I'm staying in alabama longer just to hit hunting season. Hopefully I can kill two in the first week.

I'll let you know about the ground Wagyu. I don't know yet. But, is there such a thing as bad Wagyu? It's ground? I will let you know.
Jager as a marinade...goes back to "depends on the meat." And, this is a regional thing as well. All states don't allow mini bottle sales. I'm not going to buy a bottle, but will a few mini's. I have done it...maybe four times? But, always with sirloin. Look it up...a few different ways to throw it together.
