    This is…. bizarre. That being said it’s a nice sear/medium rare

  2. having ketchup near any cut of steak should be considered violation of the geneva convention

  3. ActualM0nk3

    You’re gonna be drawn and quartered because of that damn ketchup.

  4. HotEntertainment2825

    Please tell me that’s not ketchup.

    I see why you waited 5 years to post this

    Doesn’t 47 prefer his with ketchup too?

    Hand over your steak knives buddy. You’re done

  8. Can’t really get down with the ketchup- *you do you, I don’t honestly care but, come on, there’s better condiments/accompaniments like chimichurri, bearnaise, peppercorn sauce, wine/stock reductions or a compound butter* -but apart from that I see nothing wrong with this steak other than a liiiiiittle lack of crust.

    Some of the meat’s surface doesn’t have as much of that Maillardy goodness. The doneness is what I’d personally call perfect, but I’d have made sure my pan was a tad hotter/smoking.

    Overall, I wouldn’t complain at all if you put that in front of me. It would be gone.

    Good work!

    A1 steak sauce is the closest thing to ketchup you should put on a steak

    ketchup… on the cutting board… diabolical my guy

    Could use a little more sear but otherwise looks fantastic…outside of the ketchup. Stop it. Stop it right now.

    I see the pic and it’s like “should have photoshopped out the ketchup” fuck we are some steak loving Pretentious assholes. My next steak I’m hitting the chilk fila sauce before I post.

    Steak looks great. I’d have it a little rarer but that’s my taste. How did you cook it? – the cross section looks so clean. Why do people hate ketchup so much?

    Nothing sets off the flavor of a steak like some ketchup.

  15. Looks good (I’ll ignore the ketchup) but your fat looks almost raw. Make sure you hold the steak on its side and render the fat.

    YOU SON OF A B…just kidding! I have done my share of wrong before and dang it I’ll do it again.

    For all you griping about ketchup, this was the pandemic era so we allowed passes on what would be abominations any other time. God knows steak was hard af to find in the beginning from all the others stockpiling that and tp for the first 3-4 weeks

    OK deep breath. Be nice.

    The sear is a little weak, but the insides look great. That looks like a tasty steak.

    Soooo…whats up with that fire engine red sauce that looks like it came out of a packet from McDonald’s? You didn’t put that on the steak, right? It was for French fries? You don’t need ketchup for steak. It works for burgers because they should be cooked more well done, which will make them more dry. Even then, there are better sauces to offset this.

    If you’re going to use sauce on a steak, make a gravy or something similar. A good steak doesn’t need it, but you can at least blend the steak flavor into the sauce and it can be a happy marriage.

    But ketchup is overpowering. It’s so sweet. Even if you burn your steak to death and need some sauce and can’t make a good one, use A1. It’s like ketchup, but better.

    But you don’t need any of that here. Your steak looks fine. But you ate it with ketchup.

    Sorry, you left is no option we must kill you. Metaphorically, of course.

    How did this even happen ? EDIT: Never mind—that band of fat initially looked like gray-band to me, and I was curious about how you could get such an even gray band on every edge.

    Steak crime, 1000 years dungeon. but outside of the statue of limitations. do not again

  22. you’ll only be forgiven if your taste buds were fucked up because of COVID

    Ketchup and steak is awesome. I dip my broccoli in it too 😀

  24. CransonFiguerito

    Here come all the gatekeepers of enjoying steak. Do what makes you happy! Awesome steak!

  25. Zealousideal_Bad5583

    Ok so ketchup is a no….

    but then putting it on a slice of bread with butter is a wtf…

  26. Dense-Resolution-567

    It’s a nice sear, but I can’t help but think it looks like you seared a slab of spam.

  27. RibeyeTenderloin

    Everyone else saw the ketchup. I saw the thick gray band yet somehow also a lack of crust.

  28. trusttheprocess0112

    There’s a very strong chance that this steak actually started the pandemic

  29. Volatilecanoe42

    Nothing set off the flavor of a steak like some catsup

  30. Royal_Credit6233
