have you ever had the filet from a hibachi place like Ichiban or the old David whatever (Yang's?) off of college? Those hibachi chefs dice up the steak into bite size pieces and them sumbitches be damn strong. They do not dry out. That is my favorite thing to get from hibachi now. Maybe the Japanese don't understand physics?


we'll just disagree then because pre-cut meat..along with that kak-a-lacky NC bbq shite is some of the worst things you can do to a delicious piece of meat.

so you do or don't like a reverse sear? it's essential to me for thick cuts of steak (only time i use it)

there is science behind why it's better than the traditional cooking method, too

They cook it sliced up. That's completely different.

Etiquette also says you hold the knife with your left hand. But plenty of people switch it with the fork to their dominant right to cut and then switch back.

Maybe that would be a good spinoff. Who does that?

You should cut it into large pieces (in half, thirds, quarters, etc...depending on its size) so that the meat does not continue cooking. Nothing worse than ordering/cooking a medium-rare steak, only to have a medium-well steak by the time I eat it.



This is wrong. The steak will only continue to cook at a level that will change the temp (rare, mid rare, etc) for a few minutes. Letting a steak rest for 5-10 minutes lets the blood and juices redistribute throughout the meat, as they will generally rise to the top during cooking.

By the time it's plated and in front of you, it won't continue to cook, unless it's served on a hot skillet.

But you'll still indulge in tube steak, I'm sure.

I've never seen vegetarian steak come in a tube, it's usually out of a box. But vegetarian steak is delicious!

other poster has his facts wrong. 1 flip is for burgers only.


yeah stupid.

- ribeye goes on a 600+ degree grill
- after 1.5 minutes, rotate 45 degrees
- after 1.5 minutes, flip
- after 1 minute, rotate 45 degrees
- after 1 minute onto the plate, perfectly rare

I cut with fork in left, knife in right.

Then I set the knife down and eat with the fork still in my left hand.

I am right-handed.

Not rare enough. This is what a fine steak should look like.

Here's a steak from what's knows as the best steakhouse in the world (especially amongst Michelin rated chefs), Peter Luger's.



They cut it for you. No clue why, though it has me very curious. And they know plenty about steak.


Personally, I only cut everything up when it's something like tri tip, London broil, skirt steak, or flank. But that's how your supposed to do it with those cuts, cut it thin against the grain. The key is to let it cool enough to where the juices absorb back into the fibers.

I don't think so. Do you mean from some kind of taste perspective? I took a short etiquette class in middle school. One of the things they told us is that you cut one bite at a time.

Yes, Peter Luger's, and they're not the only one. A number of top prime steakhouses do that
