This is the bad food thread...those steaks are bad food. I weep inside for you if you think they look "fine."

I'm not afraid of rare steaks, but I want them cooked correctly. There's clearly way too much oil on them, doesn't appear to me much, if any, seasoning, and it looks like it was cooked at too low a temp.

Rare steaks are fine, but you still want to sear that outside to get some nice flavors on the steak.

Salt is the only seasoning you need. Maaaybe some pepper. I think it's just bad lighting. I will agree it could be seared better but those look like they could still be delicious.

You can get a perfectly fine sear using a stainless pan, there's nothing magical about cast iron. And there's nothing wrong with flipping---frequently flipping and arroser are actually a really good approach to getting even doneness without overcooking. Nowadays it's much more straightforward to sous vide to your target doneness and sear off in a smoking hot pan (or use a torch), but flipping steaks doesn't mean a bad steak unless you don't know what you're doing.

I went to a latke-making party this Hanukkah where we were encouraged to bring our own, nontraditional toppings. Someone made a latke, breaded it, deep-fried it, and then drenched it in nacho cheese and salted caramel. A latke with a Hitler mustache would have been less offensive.

For the record, I made a poutine latke and it was glorious and delicious :jewish: :canada:

That steak is inexplicably oily and poorly cooked. There's no sear on it and looks like it isn't really seasoned at all.

One of the first steps in butchering is draining out all of the blood so unless you got it from that weird guy in the woods the only fluids you're cooking out are the ones that keep the steak tender and juicy.

To be fair, when I was a kid, I loved some frying pan toasts:



which are basically bread slices, browned on some butter + some salt/pepper. A deluxe version included stirring an egg, and coating the bread with it, to produce this:



but I was satisfied enough with the basic recipe.

This is the classier version of the ultimate poverty food, mayo sandwiches----which are exactly what they sound like; store-brand mayo slathered onto two pieces of whatever bread you have and slapped together. My younger brother sometimes made himself a version that used ranch instead of mayo over summer break.

This was pretty great to see actually. I love to see reactions to different regional snacks. I had a boozy evening with my flatmate the other night and offered her some mochi with sesame, red bean or peanut filling (not sure which ones she got) and she just could not stand it. Texture problems in that case I think but with the fact that she's Polish I would have thought odd textures would be ok with her with all that loving terrible jellied fish etc.

The only style of steak that should be in this thread is the Japanese pro wrestling style steak where you take a massive cut of meat and then put a giant slice of butter in the middle of it.

Steak pan fried with a compound butter is delicious. Is the Japanese wrestler version just a cooked steak with like a pad of butter on the top or something?

Butter on steak is fine, and doesn't qualify as a horror. You might disagree with it morally, but you probably can't deny that it tastes awesome.

Basically there is a chain of two steak houses in Tokyo, the owner speaks English and loves pro wrestling so back in the 1980's it became fashionable if you were a wrestler touring Japan to eat there because he would give you a good deal on a giant steak with a big pad of butter because as a huge muscled dude who burns like 4k calories a day as his job you need poo poo like that to keep going. Now it's basically a institution for pro wrestling and you aren't really somebody in the biz until you've toured Japan, eaten at Ribera and been gifted one of the Jackets that he only gives out to Pro Wrestlers.

You can get an awesome sear on good stainless steel. I use stainless steel a lot for searing or for anything acidic.
Cast iron is no better for searing, it's just more non stick if seasoned well, so less oil required. I mainly only use cast iron when things are going into the oven after a quick sear. Otherwise use SS and then make a sauce in it afterwards while the steak is resting.

That's purely a low temp or non stick pan type of cooked steak.
It's also 4 days worth of meat on one plate for me :(

E: Mayo lover here, S&W, Thomy or home made only for me though. I like it with chicken, tinned tuna or salad sandwiches, or toasted sandwiches spread thinly. If I'm making a large slaw or potato salad or something I'll go to the effort of home made. It's really the only foodstuff that I eat that could fit into this thread, but I love it so much. That and aioli or toum which is pretty much mayo with garlic.
Sour cream, creme fraiche or greek style yogurt would be better for sandwiches, tortillas and salads, but I don't eat them enough and they go off after a few days so I just keep mayo around.
I have never even tasted ranch, I think I tried miracle whip once

This looks good, though. I guess you could avoid the cabbage when applying gravy, but otherwise I am not seeing the problem.

The rest are either just badly photographed or vaguely depressing but I really don't know what I'm looking at here.

Is the meat on the right bacon or is it a gammon steak? Why is something full of meat being served as a side dish to a larger piece of meat? What even is that; a badly cooked and upsettingly square omelette? Some sort of pizza/garlic bread with ham?
