Reminds me of the whole reason why Salisbury steal exist. It was made because people used to believe that steak was healthier than vegetables. So you would eat this horrible food and it would be paired with an enema to cleanse the system. Pretty much the grossest shut I can think of.

That belief is back, bucko! :up-yours-woke-moralists:
Along with shooting water up the rectum to own the libs :funny-clown-hammer:
For how much conservatives obsess over beef they sure seem to have no fucking idea how to cook it properly.
:trump-moist: Well-done with ketchup
:jordan-eboy-peterson: Hold my apple cider
I mean, maybe it looks gross, but it's famous for its incredibly rich and buttery taste when it's cooked properly. A5 wagyu typically sells for $250-$400.
Ironically, I've consistently heard that wagyu is either just mediocre or downright awful, even when prepared properly by a chef. Its reputation seems to be entirely a result of its price making it a symbol of decadence to bourgeois ghouls. It's like how expensive wine is entirely defined by its pricetag and is otherwise materially indistinguishable from cheap wine.
Bob from Bob's Burgers with the real wine take: "the red pairs nicely with the white"
a symbol of decadence
This sounds fun until you realize the root of "decadence" is "decay". 😥
Would you believe they did the same thing with the Soviet Union and its state-backed caviar and champagne
I've only had caviar once, and it was just sort of unpleasant and mediocre. It's just salty, vaguely fish-flavored jelly, less offensive tasting than fish (I don't like seafood) but without any redeeming qualities or purpose to it. I cannot imagine a single person would choose to eat it except out of desperation were it not for the bizarre status symbol aspect.
Properly, like freezing it and then steaming it to medium in an air fryer?
I've had it. Why would you want "buttery"? That's not what steak tastes like. Just eat a stick of butter for fuck's sake.
Steak is supposed to be meaty and taste like steak. This wagyu crap is just "popular" because it's expensive and no other reason.
Whatever, the point of this post isn't to start a debate about the merits of wagyu, it's to make fun of JP for giving advice that would ruin a $400 cut of meat.
You could just slather some beef tallow on a supermarket strip steak and it would probably taste nearly identical. There's no magic involved that could justify the price tag, this is just Monster brand HDMI cables for self-proclaimed foodies.
It just slays me that JPB can be attacked on so many other things...but this? Seriously?
:downbear:
You know how redditors have this incredible ability to make the most annoying comments that seem to miss the point on purpose?
Stop doing that
first, you defended the quartering because you incorrectly assumed everyone else wasn't criticising microsoft enough
now, you defend peterson because we're making fun of his inability to cook and you incorrectly assume we don't criticise him on any other point:sus:
You say that like we don't also attack him for the other things? Are you seriously upset that people are dunking on Peterson for this take? This is literally The Dunk Tank dude it's the entire point of this comm.
Hard agree, and I am a steak enjoyer. Give me a $9/lb arrachera from my local carniceria over that thing any day.
The reciprocal relationship on twitter between Jordan Peterson and all the discount liver king roided out carnivore diet folks is a sight to behold. Entertainment, and not the good kind.

Dude has some kind of auto-immune disease that makes him unable to eat most foods. But meat, he can digest and his body doesn't react like it's an infection. I wouldn't take anything he has to say seriously. It sounds fun, having steak for every meal...but after a month or two it's torture.
I see what he's going for, and I can imagine what it tastes like. But...eh. Actual beef steak is better. With red meat...not 90% fat like this is. You want to eat fat, just eat some damn fat. Don't pay $90/pound for crap like this.
Beeff without fat tastes like shit. In the same way the butter is the tasty part of lobster. Fat is the tasty part of cows.
The fat isn't the part that browns... whichis where all the flavor is....
Just like butter tallow has its own taste. When it melts it flavors the meat. Just like butter.
I promise there is more, and more pleasant, flavor in the browned muscle than the fat
Yeah but that wagyu thing looks like it's mostly just fat, I can't really imagine it tasting that good.
I think most of that fat is suposed to melt. So you end up with a much smaller much softer thing.
Meat isn't flavorless, but the flavor isn't really that good by itself, it definitely needs seasoning.
There is a wild difference in flavor between grass-fed beef and the mass farmed shit.

Sounds like a bunch of bulllshit to me
It's wagyu. That's what wagyu is. It looks like peppermint candy. Cooked...well yeah it's like a big piece of gristle. No idea why people claim to like it so much. Probably because it's expensive. I've had this stuff before...meh. GImme a sirloin anyday. It has actual meat, i.e. muscle tissue. If I wanted to eat a big piece of gristle I'd eat it.
Never had this. Not only cant aford it i wouldnt even know were to beging looking for it.
Now i try to eat less meat. But back in the day i used to grill a lot. But in the place were i live the cattle is basically feral. So it is ver lean and underfeed. But once in a while they kill a fatter one. So before covid i used to go ti every butcher in town (small rural town i walk, cant drive) to see if they got one of the fat ones. The fat melts and the more marbled it is the softer it is and the better it tastes.
But i never found one like the op. It looks awsome.
It'd be easier getting the CIA to hit you with the heart attack gun
This isn't the worst advice ever, so long as you dry brine it before you freeze it. I imagine Air frying would work pretty well because the cut is already so fatty you wouldn't need top add any extra fats/oils. Frying a frozen steak can produce good results because it maximizes the maillard reaction while preventing the internals from getting over cooked, but meat really doesn't have a super strong flavor without some spices and herbs.
That being said if you need to be a carnivore just buy a 5$-10$ a lb cut of beef, sprinkle it with salt and then marinade it with butter, garlic, rosemary, paprika and some cayenne for a few hours. about 10-15 minutes before you want to eat take it out and let it come too room temp, then toss it on a smoking hot cast iron for 30 seconds to a minute per side depending on how thick it is and voila! you have a fine piece of meat for less than 20 bucks and doesn't require any fancy equipment; add a tayto and some green bean and you have a good meal.
:reddit-logo: types babble constantly about how to properly prepare le steak but also generally worship :jordan-eboy-peterson: so I wonder how they'd reconcile those things.
Maybe they just won't.
