would you be able to ask carla to maybe make a video showing people the benefits of reverse searing steaks? i think it is becoming a vastly superior way of cooking a good quality cut of meat. but many people dont even know what it is.

And she wasnt even anywhere near that point. That steak is almost raw. She said "a layer of well done" lol where? It's a seared raw steak.

[@eastwardExpansion]

Daniy Tyshkevich not raw, at all. Properly cooked, quality beef becomes more red/pink when it sits out. It’s oxidizing.

[@davidv.3856]

Daniy Tyshkevich that looked perfect not raw lol

[@hkyt21]

I've cooked a bunch of steaks with her way to flip a steak several times during cooking, one of the advantages is when you cook one side of a steak for a long time, the steak get curled up. But with her way, both sides are evenly cooked, therefore the steak get nice crusts on both sides.

[@gasfiltered]

Came here to say this. Cannot believe Carla is so pure and unsullied by the crudeness of our modern parlance as to not know about salad tossing. If she comes here and asks, nobody tell her.

[@Nucifero]

Before me and my current girlfriend started dating apparently "That really tosses my salad" was a common saying in her and her mom's household instead of saying something like that really Irks me or that grinds my gears or whatever. Needless to say I nearly laughed myself into a coma the first time I heard them say it and it didn't help neither of them knew why I was laughing so hard. Her Mom is a Behavioral Specialist and has said it multiple times in big conferences to hundreds even thousands of teachers. The look on their faces when I showed them the Urban Dictionary definition was something I will never forget.

[@chody5840]

7:40 I cooked professionally for a decade, and this feeling still happens every time I cook a steak. Mounting dread and horror that you might have somehow cooked it to well done leather, despite the fact that you did it the same way as the thousands of other steaks you've successfully cooked to medium rare.

[@Scfng08]

that was her 4th steak...ahh the magic of editing

[@jamest1411]

@@Scfng08 So are you saying that wasn't the first steak? She said she overcooked it but it looks perfectly medium rare to me.

[@zuul902]

It's why I do sous vide every time now. I don't think I will ever go back. Perfect steak EVERY TIME.

[@jamest1411]

@@zuul902 Yes sous vide guarantees perfection. Because all you have to do is sear it after that, and it is almost impossible to sear it too much that you would mess up the sous vide part. You still should learn how to master cooking it on the grill though. And why? A grilled steak because of the charcoals taste better than sous vide. This is of course my opinion. You are adding more flavor by imparting that grill taste. You can master this, it is not hard, but you probably will Louse it up a couple of times before you get the hang of it. A sous vide steak medium rare tastes great, but a grilled steak medium rare tastes better. For this reason you should learn how to cook a steak using a grill, and using cast iron and an oven. You want to be broad in your cooking expertise, just not sous vide only. That's my opinion.

[@markfrellips5633]

@5:25 it's due to how you change the temperature of a volume. You're surrounding a region of cold from all sides; the more evenly the more you flip. A super thick steak always seems to be a mix of the whole spectrum of ranges from well-done at the edges to medium in the middle.

I've cooked a lot of steaks in my life and have always tried to keep sucking less every time, and whenever I've done it Carla's way of repeatedly flipping the meat, it ALWAYS comes out overcooked without fail. 2-4 minutes on each side, only flipping once, and butter basting on the ONE flip has turned out better for me.

So I followed pretty much all of the little pop-up alternatives and made the salad with thinly sliced cabbage, lemon juice and a splash of rice vinegar, as well as some fish sauce in place of the anchovies. The flavors still balanced out really well and it’s a lovely side salad to go with such a rich steak.
