    I genuinely don’t like eating steak.

    I’ll eat it if it’s put in front of me but I genuinely just don’t get the appeal of a giant slab of meat that’s that chewy (even after being tenderised) and fights you when you cut it.

    Steak chunks that have marinated in a sauce for a long time until they melt apart in your mouth is devine.

    But a giant hunk just slapped on the plate isn’t my thing at all and I don’t understand why people like it.

      Steak is amazing when properly cooked and seasoned (salt, pepper, garlic powder). If its chewy its likely a cheap cut, cooked too long, or cut the wrong way (cut against the grain, not with it).

      • Since we’re doing hot takes, I disagree. This one’s gonna piss off a lot of people.

        I’m also not a huge steak eater, but I find medium well and well done are less chewy than the other options. Rare and medium rare are like eating gum. I can’t get them down.

        I do love a slow cooked meat that can fall apart with a fork
