Boss burrito

Fucking wrong
Why would anyone think that wtf?

>Marinate it next time and it would be a pretty good burrito. It probably tastes fine now but adding some spices would make it much better and not come off as "Mexican" mush.
He said he used a fresh ny strip steak. Fresh, not frozen. NY strip, not eye of round. I'm sure it didn't need marinating to be tender.
>>am spic
This is why you might not understand? Ordinary people would consider it splurging to use such a deliciously marbled and tender cut for quick stir fry. It and ribeye and filet can stand up to fast high heat prep with zero marinade, and really the best meat for it, just the 3 most expensive cuts known to be tneder. If I wasn't grilling skirt steak over flames, I'd be using his cut in the kitchen too.
Since you can't even see the steak under the mountain of salsa and cheese, it's kind of hard to pass judgement on him.

OP, when it comes to burrito goodness, it's preference. A warmed tortilla folds nicer when warmed, why they have the press at restaurants like Moe's or Chipotle before they fill them. I see good use of avocado there, and green salsa. Two thumbs up. Of course if you went one better, you'd lay that in the pan rolled, and give it a little warming sear on each side. Squeeze of lime to add to each bite.

because i actually know what i'm talking about.

most people are so unaware and absent that they just do things and don't check to see if they have the expected effect. they marinate meat because people say that meat should be marinated. they eat the meat and assume that it tastes better than it would have if it had not been marinated. they don't have an objective relationship with their senses.

It's not a placebo, you can test this yourself.

i have. it's a placebo. you tricked yourself into thinking it works. it doesn't. even injection syringes do veeeery little to add an 'flavor'. you'd have to use thousands of tiny needles for a serving sized piece of meat for it to have an effect.

Holy shit, I just whipped up this burrito to avoid fast food, I never expected such an autistic answer about burritos as this. This is truly the power of Veeky Forums
But seriously though, while I did smother it in cheese and light sour cream because I'm a pleb, it actually has no salsa. I like salsa ok but on this I made a vegetable fry of green & red bell peppers and mushrooms, cooked on the stove top olive oil with a little salt
Steak same thing with salt and pepper
Eggs I cooked in the steak grease
Black beans were canned and heated up on the stovetop
Honestly marinated steak overnight would bring it up a level, I'm gonna do that next time.
Lime is also a good idea

Clearly you have a shit sense of taste in smell
Like holy shit, how can you not know the difference between marinated and non marinated meat
This has to be a troll or meme I'm unaware of

I did a mango marinade on chicken.

The chicken ended up tasting mango-y a.k.a. not very good.
I don't know why I thought it was a good idea.

Also have done a curry marinade/brine. Chicken ended up tasting like Curry without putting sauce on it.

Marinate for at least 24 hours, or 48h.

because there isn't one, retard. a thin slick of flavored water on the outside doesn't impart any flavor, especially once the sugars and tolipherals are burned up, which always happens.

it doesn't get into the meat. the meat is already full of water. even a salty marinade would simply leech a SMALL amount of liquid out of the steak and replace it with: nothing. the marinade would take more flavor of the steak than the steak would of the marinade.

this is a scientific fact. there is no replacement of fluids in meat when you marinade. and the stuff on the surface gets burned off.

you were smelling the mango. not tasting it. it didn't actually taste different, you just might have imagined it did. lol, chicken cuts even without skin have a fucking water impermeable membrane.

you want meat to taste like something? grind it up with it.

other than that, you're imagining it.

You are possibly the worst troll I've seen on Veeky Forums

Why do you come here if you don't know how to cook and have no interest in learning?

LOL babby palette detected.

Here's a prototip Mr scientist
Taste and smell Re practically the same thing
Marinade makes the meat taste different, that's why it's a thing
Why am I replying to things troll holt shit

i was taught under a five star chef and have years of experience and i could cook or bake fucking circles around you. you are like a fucking worm compared to me.

your body is just rejecting the redpill that marinades are a placebo.

get lost kiddo

marinade objectively, scientifically does NOT make the meat taste different, and taste and smelll are NOT 'literally' the same thing. they're different things. related, but different.

Why do you come to Veeky Forums if you don't know how to cook and don't have an interest in learning?

what the fuck would you think i don't know how to cook? because your fucking meme internet bullshit author told you marinades do something?

the reality is that YOU don't know how to cook, because you're too stupid to even realize that marinading did nothing after doing it several times, and you have no interest in learning, because i'm fucking TELLING you this, and because it doesn't live up to your fake expectations of being some kind of culinary artist, you don't believe it.

fucking. poser.

How did you manage to not learn how to cook, although you were taught by a five star chef and have years of experience?
That is literally amazing.

i have learned to cook and am superbly talented.

and i am here to tell you that on the journey, you think marinades matter. but at the peak of the mountain, you can see for miles, and you know that marinades do nothing. because you have not completed or more likely even begun this journey you do not know of which you speak and believe you are right, but belief is all it is. your words are hollow and false.

So you learned to cook, and then what?
Did you hit your head and forget it all or something?
SAD!

Best of luck to you learning how to cook again. I'd say start simple. Here's your first lesson.

Marinades make meats taste better.

i've forgotten nothing. or at least i've forgotten more than you've ever learned.

one thing i haven't forgotten is the harsh reality that marinades are a fuckin meme.

How do you feel about a Brine or a Dry Rub?

I think they're Capitalized Weird.

hmm, strange, I use them both all the time in my cooking and I've never noticed that.

Does that effect how they flavor the meat?

dry rubs can have enough succulent herbaceus content to give the crust itself a taste, although the best application is layers of wet-dry-wet-dry to build up enough flavor in a crust that it it carries through an entire mouthful of meat. requires that you go slow and low.

brining is an effective way to tenderize meat, and the denaturation of protein through acids that will actually proceed electrically a good depth into the meat makes a meat such as chicken for instance turn white and cooked quicker in a fryer than it would had it not been brined, while also reducing the density of the meat throught saline replacement. brining takes a week at least. it's not like a marinade.

no but it could possibly affect it.
jesus what do they teach you fucking snotnose shits in school?

>>school

get a fucking job. move out of your moms basement.

looks great. shave your arms, consider electrolysis, and why did you make your burrito on the rim of your toilet bowl.

You're an idiot. I bet you don't believe in braise cooking either. You were taught under a 5 star chef? Is that the only chef who ever taught you? I have been cooking for 30 years and never heard someone disregard a marinade so easily.

Saint Thomas Aquinas is reputed to have employed the phrase "hominem unius libri timeo" (meaning "I fear the man of a single book"), which is what i'm afraid you are. A man of one book.

Try this sometime: Cook three steaks, one that has been salted and peppered in advance, one that has been seasoned just before grilling and a third that is seasoned only afterward. The difference is astonishing. Steak seasoned at the end tastes like meat with salt. Steak seasoned just before grilling is a bit better. But steak seasoned early has a deep, complex flavor and a much richer brown crust.

If you do want to get more complex with marinades, remember that it's going to take some big flavors to stand up to the taste of seared meat -- use garlic, shallots and other members of the onion family and dried peppers and other spices.

you probably suck.

college essay tier. literally.

yeah, i remembered. stop fooling yourself.
