Medium rare steaks are disgusting

I'm eating medium rare sirloin right at the moment and it is juicy and just melt in your mouth. IMHO, you are doing wrong if it is tough.

My favorite cuts are delmonico and t-bone.

Sirloin is a cheap cut for a reason. Are your grounding it yourself into hamburger?
 
Would really like to eat here

Butchering a pig on stage and talking about butchering

T-bones are the best. Choose one with ample marbling and plenty of tenderloin, flash freeze it, place it on the hottest grill you can find and seer till the middle reaches 125F. Let it rest for 10 minutes and get ready to eat.

I coat my steaks with nothing more than a high flash point vegetable oil and Montreal steak seasoning.
 
where are you getting "slimy" from a medium rare steak? time to eat at places other than Applebee's, bro

medium rare should be the MAX temp of eating a steak, with better steak places cooking it rare-plus for optimal taste goodness.........mouth........water.............


This.
 
Amazing.

I forgot where they were, but one of the espn college gamedays earlier this year showed someone barbecuing an entire pig. I literally looked like pulled pork where you pulled whatever you wanted inside the body. head still being attached may have been a bit much for some.

Pigs are too small...

Porterhouse steaks are better. You get the t-bone (which is a NY strip attached to a bone) and a nice piece of the tenderloin.

That's called a pig pickin' yo, and that's how we do it in Eastern NC. generally, that is exactly where you get traditional pulled pork. Though when you go to nearly any BBQ joint in the same region and get pulled pork, it will be chopped (after all the pulling)
 
This is great, this thing.

Oh wow--that's in Panzano! I was there about 13 years ago. Not sure if they were around then, but holy shit I need to go back.
Had my best pappa al' pommodoro there. Not the greatest or fanciest thing in cuisine, but it's great when prepared well.

He's been butchering since 1976 the restaurant is pretty new, if i'm ever even close to it i'm making a stop, those steaks look amazing

Bah, raw meat. If you have bad luck, it is contaminated with antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Worst case scenario :
You eat that raw stuff.
Suddenly a few weeks later you notice you have difficulty urinating.
You go to the doctor. After examination, it turns out you have a urinal tract infection or a bladder infection.
You get antibiotics. But nothing seems to help.
The bacterial infection gets worse and spreads to your kidneys.
From your kidneys the bacteria enter and spread by use of your bloodstream.
No antibiotics help.
You end up dead several months later.

But the steak was fucking delicious.

That's an odd cooking pattern on that meat...his grill pit would have to be REALLY hot (like over 800F) to get that cook ring like that.

It is no joke. It is based on a true story.

Also, this was in the news a few months ago : When animals are slaughtered in the slaughterhouse, the bowels are removed because there is excrement in it. And in excrement, there are bacteria to be found. Accidents happen where the bowels rupture during removal, contaminating the rest of the animal carcass. When this happens, it is not always cleaned up properly or destroyed. I have forgotten what the proper procedure was in such an event.

Also the case : Since there are so many animals in a relatively small area and since antibiotics is used on a large scale, the chance increases that these animals are host to a bacteria that has become antibiotic resistant.

This documentary is about widespread use of antibiotics and about the superbug.

Another scenario may be that you consume meat that has not been hot enough to destroy eggs or worms or other parasites...
Recently a Chinese man went to see a doctor because he had head aches and loss of memory. The man was observed for a while with MRI only to find out that he had a 10 millimeter long tapeworm in his brain that had moved over a distance of 50 millimeters inside his brain. He might have received the tapeworm by consuming food with the worm (or eggs) in it.

Humanity has come far because roasting meat, killed off parasites and pathogens.

best solution is to avoid (lol!) industrial meat. boutique butchers and restaurants can do that easily, however.
