Steak Preparation

I get ya now. I am still far from convinced, but hey ho.

There are over 3 billion cows, sheep and goats on the planet producing more than enough methane for all of us.

Add to that all the bison that used to roam across north America, before the gubs turned up - people forget about those when they talk of the methane produced currently by cattle.

I've voted Medium Rare as that's how I order my steak in a restaurant.

I cook my steaks at home using a method called Sous Vide. Its a small Water bath that holds a set temperature. I have it set at 54oC.. The Steaks are seasoned and some garlic and herbs put into a bag, vacuum sealed then placed in the water bath for 2 hours. When removed you just sear them on an extremely hot pan for 30 secs a side and that's them done. Guaranteed perfection every time.

Is there a special appliance just for sous -vide?

voted 2, leaning closer to 1 than 3.

I prefer my steak not to taste like Bobby’s brown shoes. 2 for me

But the best thing about going veggie is smugly lording it over meateaters. Even the most voracious carnivore knows on some tiny level that they are fundamentally evil and it's fun to water that seed as they tuck into a steak

Nah

I agree wholeheartedly with you there mate.

Factory farming is why I packed in all those years ago.

Karma will punish us for this one day.

The more they suffer the tastier they are

More often than not I have mine with kidney and covered with a pie crust.

Too much tissue damage, it'd be fooked...

1, for me. I've toned down on red meat and switched to fish, though...for now.

In a pie with a bit of kidney in the fat with chips

You're all basically Hitler

Snopes.com fact checks and deals with the etymology of the word thus :

While it is certainly possible that one or more England monarchs has repeated this pun, the word “sirloin” first appeared in English as far back as the early sixteenth century and therefore (with the possible exception of Henry VIII) antedates the reigns of any of the kings commonly cited as having originated it by knighting a piece of beef (e.g., James I, Charles II).

The real death blow to the “sir loin” etymology, however, is the fact that the word sirloin was originally written as “surloyn” or “surloine” in English, reflecting its origins in the Middle French word surlonge (“sur la longe”), with sur meaning “over” and longe meaning “loin” — hence sirloin was a cut of beef taken from above the loin. Not until considerably later did the common English spelling of the word shift towards using an “i” in place of the “u,” thus giving license to generations of punsters.

Don't rain on my parade mate

What if you whisper sweet nothings into a cow's ear about how nice they'll taste as a steak?

Not necessary for chickens, however. Also, it's ok, eat fish, 'cause they don't have any feelings.

Great song
