But the point is that no matter how well you cook the steak you're not creating quality, you're just getting the most out of what you have. The cow and the farmer created that quality. I believe we lose sight of that because so much of the value chain is not visible to us and we hyper fixate on the fun part, becoming a better barista/chef.

Yes. It is about learning all of these things. Knowing what kind of cut you have, and how to treat it to best effect.

A very tough gristly cut can be improved by tenderizing. Going low-and-slow/sous vide to melt the connective tissue. Even grinding it up to make a hamburger steak / loco moco.

Once you know all of those things, choosing the right approach and executing it is not that hard. The steps themselves are simple.

It's this story all over again:

This story is AI slop

AI slop that has been told for decades. Lol

No one with an IQ above room temperature believes that story.

Any steak can be delicious with a butter bath and then hit it with that A1 :).

> hit it with that A1

Sir, I regret to inform you that you are going straight to hell.

ah, more of an HP person I take it?

Everyone knows steak is better well-done with ketchup.

Why don’t you skip the meat and just make a butter and A1 soup :)

This sounds like A1 slop to me.

For a moment I thought it is hitting with AI.

No, AI is how you create the steak in the first place, if you have any sense.

CBF with having to travel a bull up here when a dewar goes in the boot of my car.

> hit it with that A1

This is likely some food thing I don't know about rather than a quite large piece of paper yeah?

But when I google "A1 food":

- AI summary: "A1 is a famous Malaysian food brand known for herbal soups and instant noodles"

- top link is "A1 Nutrition Lean Protein Blend Dry Dog Food 15kg"

At this point, I don't what is going on.

A1 steak sauce. Been around for 195 years, hence the GP didn't feel the need to expand.

...doing more research...

That's almost as long as Australia has been colonised and certainly older than Australian federation and yet, A1 steak sauce is not a big thing in our supermarkets apparently.

Maybe HP / brown sauce. Would be familiar.

It’s pretty much limited to the US now though. Most people elsewhere are unlikely to have heard of it.
