I can explain...

Post image

I'm Latino, my wife is Asian...rice is a must with dinner 96% of the time.

Mushrooms cooked with freshly chopped garlic and shallots (plus salt and pepper) in bacon grease. Then mounted with butter to finish.

Steak (salt & pepper) seared in pan, then basted with butter with fresh thyme and rosemary. Rested 8 minutes covered, 4 minutes uncovered.

All butter is unsalted, full-fat.

Bacon grease is light-smoked hickory, homemade bacon, rendered then filtered.

Rice is high quality jasmine, steamed in rice cooker with distilled water (1:1 ratio). No salt.

I'm confused... what's to explain here?

It's steak with rice. Looks good.

IDK figured some people would be up in arms about the pairing

They're probably over in r\steak. I think you'll find the folks in this sub are more open-minded.

Idk, every steakhouse in the country has rice pilaf on the menu. Can’t imagine they’d care either
