If you are going to eat steak, you'd best learn how to cook it wrong?

 i eat meat loaf because i get better value by purchasing ground beef than fancy cuts.

however by all means since you butcher your own sheep you should cook the finest cuts for yourself and grind up and sell the rest. 
 I eat one pound of ground beef and top it with cheese and sour cream. I buy myself a steak once a week and cook it rare to eat.  
 i recommend you look into sous vide as well.

although plastic bags can obviously leach into your food supposedly there are silicon pouches for sous vide that should be more chemically stable.

i used to think sous vide machines are big and expensive but then i learned you can use small inexpensive IMMERSION sous vide devices using any container of your choosing for water ... including just regular plastic storage containers

the temperature used for Sous Vide is so low that it won't melt the plastic bin ... 
 if you were a physics, nutrition and culinary genius like me you would realize the superiority of sous vide. 
 of course you won't get the flavor that maillard reactions give steak but it shouldn't be as tasteless as boiled either

well i have never actually tried sous vide for some reason but you should try and let me know how it goes  
 you know what your problem is Mike ?  

you think the answer to all life's questions is found on YouTube.

when in reality the answer to all life's questions is found by asking ME. 
 Well…. I’ve been doing it wrong since forever! High signal here. Wrote down a few don’ts a couple of do’s. Starting the day off smarter than yesterday.

Too impatient to do the marinades. Will absolutely not use vegetable oil. Will add butter before and after cooking! Cut across the grain(why didn’t I think of that? Stainless steel cause I’m lazy. Etc….
Even a caveman carnivore can do this.🫡🥩☕️ 
 Who on earth cooks a steak in olive oil? Butter & Lard all the way! 
 Butter, lard, beef tallow, or bacon grease! Never olive oil! 
 if you use any cooking fat you're a faggot.

cave men didn't use cooking fat you pussies.

i have a gallon pail of tallow and a 5 pound tub of coconut oil ...

AND NEVER USE THEM 
 I'd say the faggot cavemen are the ones who spent time cutting the fat off their meat. The real men left the fat on -- which aided in the cooking.

I frequently make my own tallow and lard, and I use them all the time.

Get that fat in ya! 😋 🍴 
 yes there is plenty of fat in the meat and you shouldn't need to add any.
