Centrist take: If you can’t get a decent sear on a gas stove you need to learn how to cook.

          He had a very judgy but supposed to be “funny” video about mocking the song WAP, I.e “wet ass pussy.” In it, he read the lyrics, saying “wet ass p-word,” and stating that his wife, a doctor, told him that if their pussys were that wet, they had a medical condition and should see a doctor. He was trying to be wry, but it just came off very smarmy and like he was introduced to pussy via the song.

          Of course the song is extremely hyperbolic and done for artist license, so old benny the shithead has been mocked mercilessly ever since about how his wife explained dry pussies to him, with the secondary implication being that his own wifes pussy is very dry when they have sex, because hes a repulsive troll.

      Honestly same, choke on gas fumes all day, it’s your life! But a cow died for that steak, honor it for fuck’s sake.

        Vegetarians and vegans should be twice as upset, because that cow was murdered twice.

        I guess anyone dumb enough to think liberals would be angry about him cooking a steak is probably too dumb to learn how to cook one properly.

    I’m just upset they a cow had to die to make a steak that bad. They could have used a cardboard box and saved a cow.

      We joke about my grandma like that, she had this whole process with store bought sausage to remove the salt but then it’s so bland… “she does this and that to the sausage, boil, three times with another thing, remove the casings, and then to finish it off you toss the sausage away and just eat the packaging.”

        I’ve heard the same joke about eating a native bird here: pluck the bird and boil it in a pot with a leather boot. After boiling for four hours remove the water, toss the bird and eat the boot.

      Fuck, I am a trans non-binary market socialism stan and I am more upset by the ruined meat…

      That thing looks like Spam cosplaying as a steak. Is this what anti-wokeness does? Do they sear off your tastebuds and feed you a block of shoeleather when you join the club? Honey… Just come to one Pride BBQ please we need to start walking back that trauma and teach you what a proper fucking sear looks like.

      The very definition of “own the libs”. He’s happy that we’re outraged how he ruined a good cut of meat by cooking it wrongly. He wasted his own money and deprived himself of a good steak, but he can at least be smug about it

    I’m wondering if that’s a butter knife, or the steak was so hard it wore the knife down

        It looks like it was boiled. I’m sure there’s a right way to boil steak (and I will pop a cap in the first motherfucker to say “sous vide”; sous vide is “boiling” like searing is “throwing the steak directly into a furnace”), but I’ll never find out because it’s fucking sacrilege.

          If it’s a chewy old steak from an old cow you can pressure cook it, then it passes through the boiling to the other side and becomes tender again.

          Then you shred it up and put like taco or donair spices on it and put it on rice or in a tortilla or something… It’s questionable whether it’s still a steak at this point, but it is tasty after being boiled which is more than you can say for OP’s steak

            Pressure cooking isn’t boiling (I think it’s closer to baking, in how it cooks the meat? Open to correction there), but you’re bang-on right it would be better than that disaster up top!

              Pressure cooking is really its own process. It’s wet heat, either in saturated steam or in superheated water depending if you put the meat up on a rack or just on the bottom. For this sort of dish I would just put it on the bottom in the water.

              The temperature is quite a bit elevated but not as high as baking, around 250F which would never cook your steak in the oven. It’s more like an accelerated braise? You can make baked beans in 30 minutes instead of like… All day in the oven.

              My wife is from Taiwan and their culture makes fantastic braised beef dishes, so there’s definitely nothing wrong with getting beef wet! I think it’s all about knowing the process and not just winging it and making something gross.

            Well then you’re not just boiling it, are you? It’s like throwing a bunch of spices and fresh vegetables in cup noodles; at that point, you may as well just make it properly.

                Since we’re talking about how boiling steak is a bad idea, we are indeed talking about just boiling it. Does that steak in the picture look like it got a sear in a pan? If course not, so I’m not sure how “it can be fine if you also sear it” is relevant.

                I didn’t realise that I’d have to defend “boiling is a bad way to cook steak”, frankly. It’s not a hot take.

    In a gas stovetop I make a beautiful pan-seared, oven cooked steak. And I’m liberal.

    This steak has nothing to do with what it was prepared on, just the moron who ruined good food.

      You see we do things like reading books and learning to do things like cooking food properly. Those concepts are for woke idjits from the snowflake generation.

      I am a bit triggered at the waste of food though, shit looks nasty lol

    • Agree the food comes out great on gas.

      The problem now and the reason why the right is memeing about this is that the gas and stove industries have been lying for years and burning a gas stove in your home is poisonous to everyone in it with benzene gas.

        Yeah, I’ve seen that going around. I’ll wait until there’s some consensus from the scientific community that the use of gas for cooking is indeed bad for the majority of people and not just a problem for those with sensitivities or respiratory issues. We’ve been using gas in homes for such a long time that I don’t know if we could separate out any serious slow to appear negative health consequences from the background noise of all the other things that cause health problems like automotive exhaust and the like.
