Budget steak thread

While the $4 cut of steak doesn't say much about you, the $25 presto deep fryer does speak volumes.

Hope you have a fire extinguisher at the ready.

fuck off you edgy elitist bitch nigger

post more OP

>laminated counters

Do yourself a favor and make threads about beans and rice for the rest of the month. You can't afford 4 dollar steaks.

>not wanting your property to burn down is now elitist

The blue collars around here get really upset very easily. I am actually pretty sure there is a connection between how quickly they fly off the handle, and how limited their career promotion path has been.

Don't take it personally. It's an image sharing board for poor people. (mostly)

Be assured. I am right here with you, you elitist scum.

Into the oil for the first fry.

kek. I was a bit skeptical at first after a friend recommended it to me but I've had it for a year now and it works just fine.

being frugal means you're blue collar or poor. Top kek

Now put some peanut oil in the cast iron and let that bad boy heat up.

whats next op? will you let the fries rest while you do the stake or are you cooking them at the same time?

>>owns a used fryer
oh, you don't re-use fryers? buy a new one every time, do you? shame him for not properly cleaning it, not for owning non-brand-new stuff.

>heFellForTheMeme.png

Is that a 10 inch skillet?

Mines a 12. No big deal.

Fucking skillets, when will they learn?

Get our butter ready and chop up some garlic.

Fries are coolin down while I cook the steak.

10 inch

God. This thread is a fucking disaster for rich people that have to watch how the other half live.

I'm going to give all of my subordinates a raise tomorrow. That is how bad this thread makes me feel. How do you fuckers live like this?

Go fuck yourself faggot.

Pan is now SMOKING hot. In goes the steak.

>sirloin steak
>not marinated or otherwise tenderized in anyway
>just slapping it into a hot as fuck pan like it's a ribeye or something
Enjoy your leather, OP. I weep for the sake of your jaw bones.

Now add the butter and garlic.

>>just slapping it into a hot as fuck pan like it's a ribeye or something

>heFellForTheSmokingHotPanMemeToo.tiff

You're supposed to let the steak heat up with the oil, it's probably ruined now

SKILLET SKILLET NICE AND HOT

why did you add the garlic after the meat? isn't it supposed to give flavor to the fat you use to cook? in this case the butter.

FFS, did you cut it at all? those are huge chuncks.
you made any whisky-butter by any chance? pls continue
retard.

>butter and garlic in a skillet with oil already in it
>not sauteeing the garlic and making a nice garlick steak sauce in a seperate pan

Fuck

stop posting this

>oh whats happening in this thre...

what a fucking disaster

Now let it sit for awhile while we do the second fry for the fries.

I just let it sit out with just salt for 20 minutes.

I add the garlic and butter right before the steak is done cooking so it doesn't burn.

I like big chunks of garlic so I can munch on them after. Negative on the whiskey butter but it sounds good.

MORE AWLIVE OIL

Why are you letting your steak sit out for 20 minutes? Doesn't it get cold?

I'd think that five minutes is enough time, and even then it has to be in something warm like my oven.

Shit, OP.

>I just let it sit out with just salt for 20 minutes.

Given the diminutive size of the steak, this was probably 15 minutes longer than was needed. Good job.

>it only takes 5 minutes for a steak to reach room temp
Retard

He meant before he cooked it.

Fries in for the second fry...

No I meant I let it sit out beforehand. I let it sit about 5 minutes after cooking.

Oh, my reading comprehension failed.
Disregard I suck cocks.

I am doing research on the effect of residential ownership of deep fryers and its link to obesity.

OP, if you don't mind, could you give me your height and weight so I can calculate BMI for my study? This is for science, so please be honest.

Fries are done. Now season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and a little bit of cayenne.

Why not just use seasoning salt like Old Bay?

It's time. Drumroll please...

>I like big chunks of garlic so I can munch on them after. Negative on the whiskey butter but it sounds good.
munchin garlic sounds as the way to go, though I'd rather fry them up before; sieve them out of the oil and use the oil to sear steak in that order.

as i said previously never sauce for steak, no matter the budget. always butter for me
a few ideas:
jesspryles.com/flavored-compound-butters-perfect-steak/

was about to ask if you double-fry.

...

WA LA!
>inb4 ITS FUCKING RAW
It's RARE. Just how I like my steak done. I consider it a crime against humanity to overcook steaks.

Everyone knows how to cook a steak you condescending fuck do you want praise faggot fuck off m8

>a little bit of cayenne.

oh john...

And now it's dinner time.
Overall, pretty good for four bucks.

Wow. Congrats. That's raw.

that steak could use some ketchup.

Tell us how it tastes in an hour from now when you finish chewing your first bite.

...

3/10

>budget is already over $4

Ya fucked up

Looks good. I respect the 2nd fry on the fries. A lot of people dont know how to make good fries.

I like how everybody ITT just shit on OP the entire time. OP next time can you show us how you make toast?

Thanks OP, I enjoyed your post.
Sorry about all the pretentious dickheads here.

And now to enjoy a post dinner beer and cig.

Yeah I thought I had a few beers left in the fridge. Had to make a last minute beer run.

>I like how everybody ITT just shit on OP the entire time
To be expected on the chins.
>OP next time can you show us how you make toast?
Why not.

No prob m8.

This thread is bad and you should feel bad.

>And now to enjoy a post dinner beer and cig.
>a cig
>smoking in the house
>smoking at all

Comfy thread OP, thanks for posting it.

>using heat too high
>not having a nice sear on the outside and then a uniform pink middle

normies fuck off

it's cheap steak night here on ck? sure, i'll contriboot

>cassette tapes

how old are you granddad?

fuck off faggot at least he contribootin

post something you made with a stamp. oh right, you order out every day you fucking failure.

why peanut oil?

You do realize that high heat is what allows you to get a good sear on the outside without overcooking the middle, right?

You just preheat the steak in the oven for about 20 minutes as low as it can go before putting it in the ripping hot skillet.

How do you season your caste iron?

I started taking better care of mine with regular seasonings of sesame oil and got that nice black coat that beads water that I can cook eggs on.

It seems like there gets buildup over time of just black shit on it I can scrape off though. Is that fucking normal?

I came from a senpai that didn't cook for shit this shits hard af for me.

Get a decent knife buddy. Spend the 50+ bucks it will change your world.

Peanut oil is the best oil to use for deep frying.

this is half a $2 steak pounded flat and chicken fried with accoutrements

>chicken fried
why do americans have such stupid names for things?

>not american
also, what would you call it?

tfw this comfy
