Steak 101: How to choose a steak and cook it in a pan (no thermometer)

[ryanthax]

I’m so glad I’m not the only person that followed a professional chef’s steak guide and lit a pan on fire.. This made me feel so much better

I got a Misen chef's knife. Because of German style handle and the Japanese steel, I call it my Axis knife

[morganwood]

You weren’t kidding with this one. I went on medium heat, flipped every 30 seconds, butter basted, and poked before and after it was cooked. 6.5 minutes later, I’m eating the best ribeye I’ve ever made.

Adam: seasons his steak, not his cutting board
Me: Long live the empire!

Professor Ragusea's homework: "Buy a bunch of steaks on sale, cook em and eat em all yourself" *WELL IF I MUST*

15:49 “it’s your steak cook it however you want”
My mother: L E A T H E R

Adam: "Does that mean you can't cook a good steak in a pan if you live in an apartment building with poor ventilation?"
Me: This is it; the tip that changes my life! I didn't think it was possible! Oh, happy day!
Adam: "Yeah, maybe not, honestly."
Me: ... *Single tear*

Adam: “I actually like to oil the steak, not the pan.”
Memers: *Write that down! Write that down!*

Been a home cook for 2 years now, and this is the first time I've heard that an electric stove's medium high is the same as a gas stove's high. I thought I've been doing something wrong. Thank you so much!

You’re probably going to get memed for it, but I actually think that oiling the steak and not the pan is a genius move

You are the first person I've seen correctly warn about using an electric cooktop when heating a pan for steaks. I listened to one of my cooking heroes, Alton Brown, who talked about getting that pan rocket hot. I use my cast iron and gas stove this way with great effect. When I went to my dad's home and did this with his electric cook top, I filled the house with smoke very quickly, and that was oiling the steak and not the skillet, another good idea from both Alton and you. Thanks for all of your work and videos.

My mom learned to cook the way my dad liked to eat, so I grew up thinking that "steak" meant "shoe leather." It was only when I got out on my own that I discovered what medium-rare tasted like.

Adam: Doesn't season the cutting board.
Me: That's impossible.

[thomasrichard]

That seasoning the plate next to the steak so you only have to wash your hands once trick is gold. Adam is a home cooking genius.

There's a lot at *steak* when it comes to beef puns..

Especially when they are *widely panned.*

This video is such a convenient coincidence - I wanted to cook steak tomorrow, funny enough with oven fries after your recipe as a side dish. That will be a good opportunity to try out and apply your advices!

Love your videos! They're always so well researched and structured and a pleasure to watch! 💖

Me watching this video as a college student:

"So, how can we do this in 10 minutes with a microwave on a $3 budget?"

"Why I poke my steak, not my hand"

Milhouse: "Say the line, Adam."
Adam: "I actually like to oil the steak rather than the pan."
The class: "Yay!"

My wife and I are new subscribers. Old people, but new viewers. Retired now, and able to leisurely cook, rather than making sure kids are fed. At first I thought "who is this snarky guy?" But if you aspire to snarkiness, you must first be good, and Adam, you are exceptional. I look forward to every new post, and learn something new each time. I am learning the answer to questions that I have wondered about my whole life. Thanks Adam, for teaching these old dogs new tricks.
