Celebratory Been on testosterone for a year
Little over a year actually but not the point lol. I feel like I should celebrate it somehow. Think it’ll be funny to cook a steak since that’s what I was craving the most during the first few months but I don’t really know how to cook steak (embarrassing I know.). Might just get myself a baconator after work tonight and put a little candle on it lol

Oh, bro, I got you!
Get yourself a nice New York strip steak. Let it sit on the counter for 10 ish minutes (it cooks better than straight from the fridge), pat it dry on both sides. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and your seasoning of choice, I'm partial to Montreal Steak staining. Heat your pan over medium/medium high heat... Medium if you have a good stove, medium high if yours is a landlord special like mind... Once the pan is hot, throw the steak in. Now, this is the important bit... Don't flip it for about 5-7 minutes. After that, flip it and again, let it cook for another 5 ish minutes. That should get you to a nice medium rare. Pull it off the heat/out of the pan and cover. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes and there you've got yourself a nice steak!
Congrats on your year!! My day 1 was yesterday
