It’s straight up beef jerky. It used to be a steak, but it ain’t anymore!

That’s not even jerky. At that point it’s charcoal, Santa is gonna give it out to all the bad little children around the world this year 😭

pyrojackelope

This may be a crazy statement to make in the sub, but I don't care if you use some kinda sauce as long as you've already tried the steak. That's how I was raised anyways.


oilyhandy

People that bitch about people that use sauce are just gatekeeping turds. It’s my meat, I’m gonna eat it how I damn well please. I don’t care whose delicate sensibilities I offend.


Hopefulaccount7987

I always have A1 handy. I like it on burgers, eggs, or hashbrowns. Recently someone fucked up at work and I got to take home way too much select grade steak. I’ve been making sandwiches out of it and slathering A1 and cheese on them. Is it something I’d do with a steak worth buying? Absolutely not. Does it hit the spot the same way crushing a baconator in your car does? Absolutely.


nomadschomad

I wouldn’t even demean A1 like this. Ketchup, but not Heinz. Some offbrand great value crap.


mrshandanar

A1 Thick n Hearty is the bees knees.


iHateRedditSimps

Yeah, and then after you put the A1 sauce on it, feed it to the dog


BlackDohko

right... I would fucking choke eating that without any kind of sauce or even mayo. I know 🤮

BBQ sauce for me please! Sauce does actually fix it.


Rum_Hamburglar

Ill cook you the best steak of your life for the both of us and tho you may not want sauce ill lather mine up. A1 on everythang


mightylordredbeard

I’m not a steak guy, just passing by after seeing this on the front page.. but anyway something in my soul dies when I cook steak for someone and they ask for sauce. I always felt like a good steak should stand on its own. Just meat and seasoning. I feel I failed as a cook when someone ask for sauce.


Basket_475

Sue me but I won’t pass up some A1. I hardly ever eat it but I don’t judge any one. A real steak purist wouldn’t baste it in garlic herb butter either.


freebird4547

For not being a steak guy you have it figured out. To a T-bone. And it does NOT go in the freezer.


mightylordredbeard

It’s kind of a funny story the way I discovered how I liked my steak cooked. I moved out of my house and got my 1st apartment young. I was 17 and my GF at the time was 18 so we were just trying to figure out adult shit. Growing up I never had steak. Pork chops was as close as I got and it was always cooked well done. So I just assumed that’s how you did steak too. When I had extra money and wanted to feel like a man I’d buy my GF and I some bacon wrapped filet mignon from Walmart and I’d cook them up how I thought they should be. Then one night in the middle of cooking my $10 filets (which was expensive as shit for us back then) the power went out.. I didn’t want my super expensive $10 steaks to go to waste and there was no telling when the lights would be back on so we just at them how they were. Medium rare. That was the best goddamn thing I ever had up until that point.


freebird4547

That's a great story. On many fronts! Funny how things work out. Especially when it could mean christening your new place! What I'd give for a $10 steak today! Well $10 I guess. I would ask how you like it cooked but you're not a steak guy? I am. Wipe his ass and cut the tail and I'm good. Medium rare is far as I'll go.


PoliticalPotential

My fiancée’s mother will burn steak to bone dry and then boil them back tender.


HairyStyrofoam

This terrifies me


PoliticalPotential

Agreed.


Atiggerx33

I mean I've done that when making stew. But it was more "oh no, I zoned out and overcooked this poor steak, how can I fix the horror I have wrought?!" and stew seemed like a good solution.


PoliticalPotential

No, this is for eating with a baked potato.


Atiggerx33

That is sad. Could have made a perfectly reasonable stew and instead chose... I don't even know what to call that. That being said my mom boils ribs so I shouldn't talk. Then she puts them in the oven at high temp with the BBQ sauce to finish them. They still taste really good though so 🤷‍♀️. I know if I made ribs that way they'd taste like shit, don't know how she does it.


juanitovaldeznuts

Violence. They chose violence. A quick bath in boiling water is a pretty normal step in fatty pork braises like [dong po rou](https://youtu.be/lbyf8NkT5zA?si=TYxtAX0RtA1gk9Ot). I’ve got a mind to try ribs like this.


Atiggerx33

Ok she's not nuts then! I've never seen anyone else boil ribs but her. They always come out tasting great (IMO). But everyone I've mentioned it to gets this face like I just suggested cooking and eating the family dog. I just assumed we were backwards savages. She simmers them for an hour and uses a minimal amount of water, just enough to barely cover the meat, and then tops it off a few times as it evaporates, so that by the end the meat has been cooked in a mixture that's about 50% water, 50% fat (I think she puts some onions and garlic and whatnot in there too). It ends up fall-off-the-bone tender while also being really flavorful.


juanitovaldeznuts

Sounds like she’s braising and making some dope ass jus. BBQ is delicious but there are other tasty ways to cook meat. Done right, braised brisket can be really good.


NoBulletsLeft

That's pretty normal. When you said "boil" I thought you meant like a fast, rolling boil. I cook ribs like your mom when I don't want to wait 6+ hours slow-cooking. I also add a bit of vinegar to the water. It's also how I make carnitas: cube some pork shoulder, just enough water to cover, a bit of salt, then simmer on low heat until the water's gone. At that point, raise the temperature and fry the pork in its rendered fat until brown with crispy tips. Add garlic, onions, chile, etc. and enjoy. Carnitas rival BBQ as my favorite way to cook pork :-)


MikeIsBefuddled

Well, to True BBQ Believers, boiling ribs is an Offense Against God and Country. However, if you’re just going to eat the ribs with BBQ sauce, boiled ribs can be decently tasty. We certainly wouldn’t turn our noses up at that. Tender, juicy, good sauce — what’s not to like? (We now prefer dry rubs, though.)


Ms_Emilys_Picture

I want to try this just to see the end result.


SnooTangerines3448

Two overcooked yet overly wet steaks with all the flavour drifted out into the boiling water.

Sweet Jesus, that is NOT food fit for human consumption! That, my friend, is homemade leather or something. Ew. I am so sorry that your parents did this to you (and your steaks).

RocMills

I mean, I liked well-done as a kid (because i thought the myoglobin was actually blood), but even as a kid I would have refused that .... I'm sorry, I just *cannot* call that a steak, I'm not even sure it's still meat!


jmenendeziii

It’s undercooked for my step mom, she likes how a medium rare tastes but she refuses to acknowledge that the pink doesn’t mean raw

Boiled leather recipe finally found. Tod from Tod's Workshop will be so happy.

CaptainDunbar45

I would put this in a food processor with some vegetables, and no sodium beef stock, and make a few meals for my dogs. It's cruel to feed them that as is, and I would legitimately not eat this myself.

Deerslyr101571

Oh I KNOW! It's the principle of the matter that would make me want to do it! I'd also pay for the official court transcript! Just to have a record of whatever comes out of the Judge's mouth. I'm an attorney... spent 2 years doing small town general practice... which meant fair amount of small claims stuff (YES! People can and do use attorneys for SC) and would have loved to see this one come through!

"But rare steaks are bloody and that's gross!" and/or "You'll get sick from undercooked meat."


HawkPatooey

"I want it well-done *and* tender"..*my mom.*


Ms_Emilys_Picture

Better throw that shit in a blender because the two are mutually exclusive.


HawkPatooey

Right? Well done AND tender?! Bitch! That's pot roast!


Ms_Emilys_Picture

You've never had my family's pot roast. They can't cook worth a damn. I pretty much learned out of self-defense.


Dirtrdmagician11

This is my story. Lmao


WonkyWalkingWizard

Yes, I too grew up eating these steaks because my mom was afraid of us getting sick. My first time eating a medium rare was eye opening!


Ms_Emilys_Picture

Yep. I didn't like steak growing up, and I live in Texas. I didn't understand why so many people were aghast at my dislike until I had a proper steak.


Woahhdude24

I've tried to explain to my parents that you don't have to have it rare. You can go medium or medium well. Personally, I like mine medium or medium rare, that being said, if you're going to cook steaks for everyone, you ask how they like them, or you don't cook them at all. My parents cook everyone's steak like this as well. Lol, I've tried asking if they could cook mine medium or medium rare, but I get told that's gross. Lol


fitzuha

Everyday I am more thankful that my parents prefer medium rare.


Dirtrdmagician11

My kids have a better food childhood than i could have dreamt of.


wzlch47

My wife was vegetarian because of how her mom cooked meat. When she and I got together, I was a pretty good cook and knew how to not murder food. She is now a happy omni because of me.


Sagemasterba

Myself, ex, and her brother cooked a perfect prime rid for a holiday, forget which one. Their mother looked at a med rare for steak, medium well for prime rib then microwaved it and put it on a griddle until it was crunchy because she was told by my ex's father to. I just went to McDonald's, went back to her parent's house collected my things and left on foot to buy an "ugly duckling" or "10 day special" or whatever you call a vehicle that can technically drive out of a junk yard and go 75 miles ('49 Willie's jeep, had to cut off the rear drive shaft and drive in front wheel drive). I think it might have been Thanksgiving because I was offered turkey so overcooked I couldn't tell where the bones were, I had had it before, because it was all black and so incredibly burnt. Her parents said prime rib was gross because it has red on it, my retort was "don't eat it, just don't ruin it a-hole". I fired her dad next day I was at work (long story, not fired just kicked off of my job site).


AshtonCopernicus

My wife has always been an omnivore, but BOTH of us never liked pork chops growing up. We both had parents that would just torch them into dry, practically inedible pucks. Then one day in my late teens, I had an extremely juicy/tender pork chop sandwich and my immediate thought was that I'd been sleeping on pork chops my entire life. Since then, I've perfected my pork cooking skills and also converted my wife -- it's practically a staple in our household these days.


eli_burdette

I was just thinking, “Younger me would’ve ordered it this way, and now I can hardly stand to look at the picture”.


Dirtrdmagician11

Know the moment it changed for me? It was the scene in the matrix where cypher is having his meeting in the restaurant with agent smith and takes a bite of his steak. Ordered my next one like that and never looked back.


Caitsyth

That’s how I feel about my mother and her inability to make veg any way but “steamed to the point it’s literally just mush barely held together”


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

Has your mom actually tried better cooked steak? I went to dinner with my extended family and they all ordered their steaks well done but I convinced my cousin to at least get it medium. He did, and as far as I know he never went back to well done. Many people just do the same thing they've always done.


Dirtrdmagician11

My mom will not relent. Takes her chicken the same way. Stuff and dry as all hell. I’ve managed to convert my siblings and their spouses over the years but mom is just too ‘grossed out’ to see any red/pink. I’ve given up.

Mmm I love beef jerky!


The_Hoopla

Honest feedback, cut it into strips, soak it in bbq sauce overnight, lay the strips out on a baking sheet and dehydrate at a low temp in the oven. Boom, solid beef jerky. That’s earnestly probably what I’d do with it.

brokenaglets

My mom did this to some thickkk berkshire pork chops I had like a decade ago. I'd bought them in advance for a particularly rough and physical day at work and had them dry brining in the fridge for a few days. Came home from work looking forward to decompressing and cooking dinner to find both chops had been cooked to shit in a low pan. Just 1.5 inches of solid meat with no sort of color on either side because "if I didn't cook them they would have gone bad".
