That pan technique is wild. Dump the old stuff and wipe it clean brother - just avoid soap and scrubbing. Seasoning a pan refers to the thin layer of oil, it doesnt mean leaving behind old food to flavor the next thing you cook.

[@TheCharleseye]

That's some old school advice. It was once bad to use soap because soap had lye in it, which would strip the seasoning. Modern dish soap doesn't have lye. There's no reason not to hit it with a few drops of Dawn. As for scrubbing, I use copper wool and a stainless chainmail scrubber on all my cast iron. It doesn't hurt the seasoning at all, unless the seasoning isn't sticking properly - in which case, I want the loose bits to come off, so it doesn't end up in my food. It's not hard to add another coat of seasoning.

[@dantex380]

Great video. For a better steak try seasoning your steak a few hours earlier and let the steak reach room temperature. This will give it time to absorb the seasoning and allow the meat to relax.

[@anneiconex1473]

@dantex380 thx for the info

[@cillaloves2fish688]

I like to season meat before freezing it so when I'm ready to cook it, and it thaws out, the meat will absorb the seasoning Tastes great!

[@dantex380]

That’s a great tip. Another thing you can try with a less expensive cut (ie chuck steak) is a sprinkle of powdered milk along with the other seasoning. It really softens the steak nicely.

[@cillaloves2fish688]

@@dantex380 Thanks for the tip! Normally if I want to soften a tough piece of meat, I sprinkle some baking soda (NOT baking powder) on the meat at least 20 minutes before cooking it. I learned that by watching Chinese cooking videos on KZbin... I believe it's called "velveting". Works great!

So far I've lost 135lbs on carnivor and love it. At my local small chain grocery store I get Denver steaks or tri tip and that's what I eat for dinner 80% of the time and I get them for between 6 to 7$ for a around a pound. And they also have organic turkey breast for 2.75$ a lb and those things are huge and i eat them every now and then for variety. For breakfast I have 4 eggs with some leftover turkey breast cut up in it and if I don't have any turkey I eat 6 eggs(I don't usually eat until 1pm so technically not breakfast) I get the 18 pack of organic pasture raised eggs for 3.75$ at Sam's I figure I'm spending around 12-14$ a day on food including butter and Redmonds salt. I absolutely do not miss the standard American diet. Just a tip if you have any arthritis or gut issues try switching to white pepper. Black pepper has 22x more Oxalates than white pepper and is more inflammatory but if you dont have those issues i say eat what is already working for you.

[@Skiis44]

Thanks for the pepper hint. I have gut issues and a container of white pepper. Problem solved.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Those are cage free, not pasture raised Cage free just means they’re on the floor in the huge house instead of up in the cages Free range means there’s a tiny door somewhere in the huge henhouse that they could go out into a very small caged area of packed dirt. 99% of the hens do not even know it’s there. Only pastured or possibly pasture raised eggs are from hens who are outside. These are simply marketing terms, legal terms in fact. Each term is defined by law. They all eat soy chicken feed too 🤢 Try to find a local egg lady (raises her own hens and on soy free feed if possible-pricey but way way more nutrients)

You can get pastured for $3.99 at Trader Joe’s or $4.29 at Aldi’s. I can’t eat eggs but hubby does.

[@christopherthompson3313]

Nice tutorial! I've been enjoying chuck recently as a cost effective alternative to my favorite ribeyes. I learned a few years back (before I was Carnivore), to cook steak from frozen. It takes a bit longer, but comes out great, because you don't have that thick, gray layer. Nice and juicy in the center with a thin gray layer. Using an instant read digital thermometer is the key. Also, I let my cast iron skillet warm up 10-15 minutes on a lower-medium heat. You don't need medium heat or any higher. The cast iron will slowly heat and then hold that temp. I'll let it heat the frozen steak until I lightly sear each side 2x, and cut the heat low when I do the 3rd flip, and cook on low heat for a little while. A thick cut steak takes 30-35 minutes. Then I top with Kerrygold! Delicious! Another aspect of this way of cooking steak, is that I season it, wrap it in parchment paper, and then freeze in a ziploc freezer bag (squeeze out any air). This allows the salt and spices to tenderize the meat while it's cooling to the freeze point in the freezer. I hope this helps.

[@jasonmitchell432]

I watch a lot of cooking videos, and a lot of dietary videos, and I LOVE the fact that you’re doing something successful and tasty as a non-cook.

[@ImagineWrong]

Chuck roast is my favorite cut! I sear it on cast iron like any steak. Because it's thicker it's cooks perfectly. Nice beefy flavor, tender, and fatty! Try the roast! Also... We do rinse out cast irons, just no soap (wipe with paper towels and dry).

@@bigswollzjourney8848 Cast iron pans are never permanently messed up. Scrape the pan with a hard scraper. They make them scrapers especially for cast iron pans. They are hard plastic with a blade-like edge. They even have harder and thicker scrapers that will scrape off rust. Then rinse. Dry with paper towel. Then re-season the pan. Best way is to add olive oil or avocado oil (NO vegetable or canola oil), spread the oil with a paper towel then put in a hot oven for a few minutes.

Try a whole chuck roast (about 2-inches thick) on the BBQ. They are usually about 4-pounds. On the BBQ you can get some good bark on the outside, and due to the thickness it stays rare or medium rare in the middle. Talk about delicious ! And the bonus is, you can eat for several days, and its great cold for snacking. I think its equal to or better than a ribeye, and much less expensive.

[@coffacuppie]

Thank you. I salt with kosher salt the night before or at least a few hours before. No other spices because I was on a beef, bacon, butter and eggs challenge. I cook a lot of chuck roasts, but not the steaks. I'll be trying this!

[@johngalt97]

This is similar to America's Test Kitchen recommendations for quickly cooking thin pork chops. You don't have to wait for the pan to heat up, just throw the meat in the pan, allowing it to have more 'slow cook' time, but speeding up the total cook time. Timing and correct pan heat setting is critical to avoid over-cooking. Its quick enough that you can just monitor to avoid over-cooking, you'll get dialed-in on the process after a few times. One tweak you could experiment with is salting the meat ahead of time and allowing it to absorb into the meat for at least a few hours, if not overnight, while sitting on an open-air rack in the fridge. This gets the salt throughout the meat and drys the exterior, allowing for a better Maillard reaction (tasty brown crust), better concentration of beefy flavor, and slight tenderization by the absorbed salt over time. I'm not a cook either, but steak is what I do now, so I've picked up on these things.

[@tixximmi1]

Sear it. Put in crock pot. Cover with 1/2 water, 1/2 beef bone broth. Med boil for 3 to 4 hours. Done. I also put the salt and pepper on one day before hand and let sit in the fridge. Fork Tender.

That's a good video. I am a chef and I have a food truck. I've always been "fit", not super fit but I've always exercised. I feel good physically. Im in my mid 40s. My point is that I tried 5 days of carnivore and on the sixth day I got off it because I was just around my other food that I sell. I sell tacos so I love my asada tacos. I have a family of 5 kids, so it would be very difficult to have all of them in this way if eating. But with all that said, carnivore makes sense, and I love meat. There was a time when I thought that I was eating too much of it and that it was bad, but I loved to find out that it's the perfect food, specially with fat. The 5 days that i tried it, I felt very good after the 3rd day, zero bloating, and didn't go much to the restroom. Hopefully, some day, I can commit a little more on it, but I love that I know what I have to do if my health is not going good or I'm not feeling good anymore. Thank you

[@BeefNEggs057]

Cover it in salt at room temp and let it sit for 3/4-1 hr. Rinse it well and pat as dry as possible with paper towels before cooking however you like. Salt basically breaks down the tough sinew and your steak will fall apart (some are better than others). I’ve found the Chuck roasts are better (just slice down the middle to make them steaks). The thin sliced Chuck steaks seem tougher on average. Maybe they are further towards the rear of the cow. Best two steaks in the Chuck are the first two which I believe they make the roasts from.

Im saving money not getting fast food or hitting the bakery on Saturday mornings. This feels like the food my body has been needing all along.

Carnivore did me dirty and I transitioned into the Lion diet. MUUUUUUUCH better for me!!! So, if carnivore doesn't do it for you, there are still options.

[@Kamaria0045]

Whether you do the 'normal' carnivore diet and/or the lion diet, you need to give it three months. Reason being that your body first needs to heal before it can reset the 'coding' for your optimal weight. It will be hard at first, especially if you're used to variety in your diet, but stick with it. Eat fatty cuts of meat, learn to live with the inevitable diarrhea in the beginning (never trust a fart), and hold on till your body adjusts it's gut bacteria to probably the last dietary lifestyle choice you will ever make. Avoid dairy at least until your gut bacteria has changed. Eat ONLY red meat during this period, and season with only salt. It's an elimination diet, designed to reset your system. If you manage to stick with this, you will NOT be sorry. Oh, and as soon as you're over the 'runs', begin lifting heavy stuff. You need to fill that loose skin until autophagy (from fasting) tightens it up. Eat until comfortably full and ONLY eat when hungry. Good luck!

If you are after a medium rare chuck roast Ribeye-like steak, buy a thicker chunk of meat and then use a sous vide wand. I vacuum seal a thick (three + inches) and place it in a pot of water at 131 degrees for 48 hours. Be sure to get is set up 48 hours prior to the time you want to eat it. Once done, pull it out of the bag, dry it off, spice it up and either pan sear it, or if you have an infrared appliance on your grill use that. It becomes a fork tender Beef Ribeye.

[@isma3il2005]

I did the same thing when I got tired of ground beef. The way I do it is pan sear it by flipping every 30 seconds on highest heat you have. If you are doing thin steaks like the one you show, then just flipping every 30 seconds will cook it enough by the time it gets a decent sear, you'll know when to take it off the pan after experimenting a few times. But if its thick, then put it in the oven @ 300 degrees to your desired doness. this works even with 3Lb roasts. Obviously you adjust the oven cook time to match the size of the meat. This video goes into why flipping often works, it will also give you an intuition of how heat works in food in general if your cooking skills are still developing like mine. Now I can control the how done a steak is easily and I never cook it any other way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3fTn4GfrdJojNU

He's heating it up enough that it'll be just fine. I scrape mine out with a plastic spatula and deglaze it by boiling water in it, but mine is by no means squeaky clean.

[@carynsommersdorf2453]

​@@jegr3398I'm just learning to use a cast iron pan. So you just boil water in it to clean it out? I was told to clean with the kosher salt. And wipe out with a paper towel.

[@Ultrajamz]

I would use metal for proper scraping.

[@lastdaystrumpet5608]

Metal utensils are fine.

Nice effort brother! I wish chuck steaks weren't so expensive where I live.

[@petergreenwald9639]

If you can get those steaks cut custom to about twice the thickness or more, then try this. Get the pan extra hot, use a high temp oil, like grape seed. Grape seed oil is pretty cheap at Aldi. Sear it till you get that amazing crust on each side; should take about 3 min a side. You should only have to flip once. Drop it on your plate and then put the butter on it. If it is thick enough, you should be able to get a great sear and still have it med rare in the middle.

[@stevenhull5025]

I thought seed oils are unhealthy??? I only cook in lard, butter, ghee or tallow.

[@petergreenwald9639]

@@stevenhull5025 You want to use an oil with a higher temperature smoke point than the highest temp you cook at. I use my pan in the oven at very high temps sometimes. As for the "unhealthy" part, that oil will polymerize to the metal and poses no threat. The highest smoke point oil you can get is avocado. I just don't regularly use it, so it's not around the kitchen. I do use grape seed oil when I want the oil to be flavorless. Otherwise, Ghee from Aldi, bacon fat, or some beef fat I have keep chunks of in the fridge.

Where do you buy your CHUCK STEAKS? I have a difficult time finding them in my local grocery stores.

[@The_Conspiracy_Analyst]

I usually just make sashimi out of the Chuck steaks. Slice, then marinate in cheap red wine (Carlo Rossi Burgundy) and some soy sauce. It will break it down a bit and tenderize it a lot and give it a great flavor.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Raw? Hmmmmm

[@doomedbook1020]

I cook mine in an aluminium grill pan on the lowest heat possible and place a pan lid over the top. The steak cooks in its own juices and eliminates the need for oil while softening the protein and fat to the point where you can pull it apart in your hands. The steak isn't burned whatsoever in this way and thoroughly believe after cooking pork and chicken in the same way and experiencing similar amazing results that this is the best way to cook meat hands down.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Fat is yummmmm N why wouldn’t u add fat I need it?

Clearly I have been cooking mine wrong!...mine is so tuff!...

[@bencox8870]

Try salting it. Also a sharp steak knife makes it less of an effort to eat. I buy a chuck roast and cut it into steak size portions. Then I salt the steaks heavily with Kosher salt, wrap each one in Saran Wrap, let them sit out for an hour, then freeze them. Then I just pull out a steak as needed. The salt tenderizes the meat and adds a wonderful flavor. No need to add more salt when you cook it.

Chuck steak is a great steak! I like them much thicker so the center is still red and even more tender. Have you tried Adding ginger powder to your steak spices? Really good!

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

U can purée garlic & ginger n freeze in ice cube trays to use a portion for meals Diff taste! Mix it with sour cream too and dip the steak in it, or hard boiled eggs quarters

If you find chuck eye steak, it is even more tender than chuck steak and just as cheap.
