 I’ll never understand the obsession with sauces, marinating and cooking oils. 

Quality meat contains high concentrations of animal fats which allow it to cook brilliantly and yield phenomenal flavors. Lil salt and I’m a happy minimalist. 
 Same here. The only other thing I add to it is butter. https://video.nostr.build/66f49cb1a218bdf56e97d570c47ca482d4f28100371acf564a7082467daf60a9.mp4  
 You’re welcome at my table anytime brother 😂🤝🫡 
 I add butter to steaks occasionally and use it as my non stick agent when I cook eggs 
 I’m weak, I can’t eat steak without butter anymore 
 Favorite cut? 
 Ribeye medallion cut is my fav 👌 
 Tasty
Delmonico among my faves. Good fat content.  
 Idk anything about cuts lol i cut it myself and try to make it look like all the others 
 Interesting.
Are you cutting your own because you're also harvesting your own? 
 Also wondering the same 
 No haha I buy the entire slab from the Costco business center. It’s grassfed from New Zealand for like $10 a pound. Amazing deal but cutting and freezing them takes some time. 
 Ah... got it. 

I'm fortunate to have a local butcher (with abatois) who sells a half or quarter beef for <$4/pound. I'm quite happy to have that opportunity but would prefer an even more direct stomach-to-cow relationship. 

I like your retail solution though. Cutting your own probably brings you "closer" to your food, for sure.

 Butter salt pepper = awesome steak 

If you add a little paprika you can get a cool crust on non dry aged steak 
 Yeah I pepper up a steak when I have company and want to get fancy 🤣 
 I'm right there with ya. Sometimes pepper and maybe a little minced garlic if I'm gonna airfry it  
 I add salt, a little pepper, and on occasion butter.  
 👌 
 I love sauces and marinating. Eating almost exclusively meat every meal is boring to my tastebuds. It’s the best quality meat I can find. Maybe upbringing? 
 Possibly. Maybe you could retrain your tastebuds by cutting out the extras for a time. I know that for me, cutting out sugar and carbs completely retrained by palate. 
 It's just for variety.
