I thought it was two Brandons for a second there.

Love how they have the guest's books behind him in the studio! Such a great detail.

Brandon and Brian is giving coke vs pepsi vibes, almost indistinguishable 😂

[reasarian]

Powder mage trilogies are so good. Everyone should read them

[HowlingEcko]

Oh hey, it's Brandon and longer-bearded-Brandon!

[KK-efow]

The best steak I ever had was something I made myself at home. Found a $20 top sirloin that had some picanha still attached. Separated them, dry brine the picanha for 6 hours, and reverse seared it using my air fryer and a cast iron. I'm tearing up just thinking about it.

So cute of you guys to coordinate outfits for this! <3 <3

[yasielromero]

I recently just bought Promise of Blood after hearing great things about it. Looking forward to reading it soon

“I’m surprised how many people don’t know the basic cuts of steak.” Proceeds to list multiple names for the same cut, and then says, “It’s kind of confusing.” 😂

[laura-leew]

Reverse sear all the way! Also dry brine! I do this for prime rib (better than steak!). I also cut it off the ribs, tie it into a nice round shape with butchers twine so I maximize delicious crust and it cooks evenly. I cook the ribs in the pan seasoned and separate.

Please please make a short of Brandon saying he likes pizza around the 22 minute mark

[brysonwiggins]

I am so hungry now. I got a smoker last year and reverse searing steaks is the best way to cook a steak by far. So good!

18:44 The magic word there is "Sous Vide"

[mattpodkowa]

The Glass Immortals series is so good. I can't wait for Brian's next book! That would be fun to read after Wind and Truth.

[dougsundseth]

For really thick cuts of meat, I'd go with a sous vide preparation to the desired temp, then sear the surface and serve.

And I'm pretty much with Brian McClellan: the answer is "yes". I like steak with just salt and pepper, I like peppercorn steak, I like steak with noodles, I like steak fried in onions and mushrooms, I like marinated flank steak, ....

See also pizza, except no fish. My favorite is pepperoni, onions, jalapenos, pineapple, and extra cheese on a pan crust.

Brandon's Nebraska roots are showing

My man knocking out The Well Of Ascension signings and talking about steak!

[kaimcdragonfist]

In the immortal words of Son Goku (in the abridged series): “I like both of those things!”

[andrewberenson]

My favorite type of steak is 1) skirt steak; and 2) rib eye, with a teriyaki glaze and sauted mushrooms
