I’ve accidentally made well done steak. I believe I’m a failure to my bloodline.


It’s my second one ever and accidentally left it in the oven too long. I was overconfident. Shame on me 😞.

    Castrate immediately to end these genes

    Absolutely nothing wrong with that. You didnt burn down the house, and you know what to change for next time. Also, you cook it in the oven?

    Welp…..you can only get better from here. Most of use when we start cooking or grilling steak did what you did.

    Cooking is a learned skill and sometimes we learn much better from mistakes than successes.

    You got this and keep going.

    That knife might be good for something better than *cutting*

    Toss that bad boy into a stir fry or some tacos.

    Dust yourself off and get back at it. I’ve messed up more steaks than I’ve cooked well. That can be chopped up with some onions and cheese and made into a bomb sandwich

    You can pretend your family is from the Balkans.

    It happens to the best of us. That’s why steak sauce is a thing

    You just might be a failure… the only known way to correct this is to buy another steak tomorrow and prove yourself.

    Oh… and the steak has to be a ribeye (patted extremely dry and salted liberally), cooked on a searing hot pan – as hot as it gets – using a high smoke point oil (like avocado), and for just 3 minutes a side.

    It happens. How long did you sear it for? Doing 3-4 mins in each side and this one is done and you could skip the oven.
    Still – delicious with a bit of sauce 🙂

    Hey you gotta learn some how. Don’t waste it, put some saddle soap on it and craft it into a belt or handbag

  18. ForeAmigo

    Hey…it happens. Dice it up and throw it in a quesadilla.

    Shit happens, chop it thin and make a stir fry. The fact you cooked a steak today makes you a winner. Rejoice complete stranger!

    Such a kick in the ass when it’s overcooked even a little. This is something else entirely.

  24. AngryTrunkMonkey

    It’s alright, just stitch it together and make a belt.

  25. spaltavian

    It happens. Put it in a rice bowl with lots of sauce or some tacos.

  28. SolidMikeP

    That thickness, high heat, 2min each side, done.

  30. Fluid-Enthusiasm715

    There is always beef jerky or beef stew? It’s ok happens to the best of us once in awhile.

    If all you know how to make is well done steaks, then try it with Wagyu. You need Wagyu to cook more to make sure the fat is rendered. Last thing you want is globs of near lukewarm Wagyu fat.

  33. telemeister74

    Oh, I hate that, especially if you’ve spent money on a really good steak only to fuck it up completely.

  34. jackswan321

    I’m going to have to ask you kindly, yet firmly, to leave

  35. SpyDiego

    My second steak was well done too. So was the first. After a few its easy and you realize people take pride in a good steak but they actually have no clue how to cook

    Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200

  37. pabloescobarbecue

    It’s happened to me. But I didn’t post my shame for the world to see.
    I’ve buried those memories deep within me like a man

    if you have a dog i bet he will think you’re a saint

    well, provided you dont eat it all in front of him lmao

    The first step toward healing is admitting you have a problem.

  42. NeedleworkerOwn4553

    It’s so thin that you don’t need to put it in the oven. Sear 3 minutes one side, 2 minutes the other side then stick a temp probe in. Pull it 10 degrees before your preferred doneness and let it sit for 10 minutes.

  43. Master_Air_8485

    Well done steak tastes fine. It isn’t my go to choice, but it’s nothing to beat yourself up over. So long as it’s properly seasoned, you should still be able to enjoy it. Worst case scenario, drown it in HP sauce.

  44. tzoid1s

    This is past well done… this is congratulations

    Hope you have plenty of 57 or A1 sauce

  47. Frosty_Mongoose9055

    I think it’s even more done than well done.  Maybe overdone?

  49. ThoughtsAndGiggles

    This is what I remember as a kid. My mom said it’s dangerous to be eaten raw. I put ketchup all over it.
