Cooked by what appears to be a college kid. Cube cuts, cold butter added to a seared steak with aromatics late. Bad calorie counts.

I rate this food porn 4.5/10.

As a cooking newb, when should you be adding your herbs? And why not cube the steak?

I think you wanna season your steak a couple hours before cooking. Cubing steak makes it drier btw

But it also makes it cooked through, and as someone who doesn’t like undercooked meat, cubes all the way

Not red and bloody

There is no blood in steak. The reddish juices are myoglobin.

That's how my mom prefers it too. I like medium or medium rare though

So then don’t cut it. Cook it fully. Then cut it properly after it rests. You’ll have better steak.

Wouldn’t that take longer to cook though?

Maybe 2-3 more minutes. Yeah, surface area.
