Anthony Bourdain on the worst mistake when cooking steak

Typically, I see folks who know more than me recommending 5-10 minutes of resting.

I let my steak rest for 4 minutes and it's ice cold. I understand what it's for but why does my steak seem to get cold faster than everybody else's?

No thanks..... I like my steak hot, not luke warm and then cold by the time Im finishing it.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about steak, it’s that no two people ever fully agree on what to do with it

Anthony Bourdain and Tupac's deaths were the worst deaths in the entertainment industry because of how much amazing things we all missed out on.

I still Love this guy...

What ever happened to this guy. I never see him on TV anymore.

I love him, but he sold out, and I'm pissed at him. I think he got used and abused and almost became a parody of himself.
His early series he was just so amazing and an effortless,respectful host, but he should have gotten rid of the hangers-on bringing him down and had more self respect.
People talk of him as sober also, but he drank a lot of booze and smoked a lot of weed towards the end, apparently.
He is sorely missed.

Totally messed up steak

Serious question. I used to subscribe to the rest theory, but now i don't. Reason being is that all those wonderful juices escape said meat when resting. So i cut it and eat it rightvaway along with those wonderful juices. Is there science around the resting theory ?

I used to cook the steak over coal while the fire was still burning…before anyone told me that was dumb. Tasted a lot like charcoal lighter.

Another great tip which is often overlooked is when handling your steak, make sure you rub your greasy butthole REALLY well in order to bring more flavor to the meat.

That makes sense but i like my meat hot not lukewarm

F him

Keep the dog away from it! 🤣

Worst misteak, never hang it in a closet.

I don’t think he killed himself

The worst mistake you can make is hanging yourself after you cook the steak, hard to swallow 😂

The problem with this is, all the best steaks I've had were at japanese steakhouses. They cut it up into strips while it's cooking on a griddle and, somehow, it's perfect every time. I go to texas roadhouse and there's a 30% chance the steak will be decent or it'll be 50% gristle. Maybe the japanese steakhouses pick better cuts. I dunno.

Is it okay to poor catsup on it before 5-7 minutes pass?

miss you

That's cow! So city

I hate when people say there is inly one way to cook your meat luie Rare, mid-rare or well done...
The only wrong way is to cook it the way you don't like it.
I love rare (yes whrn they say tgis meat is alive)

I tell the wife with the BBQ, “if your looking your not cooking”. I agree with letting the steak sit as well. Your spot on.

Dosent it get cold?

Don't look at it haha

How do you make sure it's not cold after sitting for 7 minutes?

What about plant based vegan steaks? How do I get all of those cancer-causing chemicals to taste like a real steak? I want meat-based vegetables too.

"don't even look at it" Hahahaha

Miss and love you buddy.

Still missing this guy.. RiPower Chef.

What no tenting? Jamie…!

Hard to respect the opinion of someone that weak. You can keep the opinions to yourself because I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people that would love to still be alive that didn't get a choice in the matter

His book " Kitchen Confidential " is a must read. I worked in a few shit holes in my time and I know his story is not fiction, read the book! Farewell, Anthony Bordain.

S.o.b. should've rested on the board. He was too valuable.

Another Clinton kill

I take it off the grill medium rare with a nice seared outside and flop em right on my wife and kids plates. And by the time they get done f***ing around with tater salads and cracking beers rhat steak has rested enough.

The biggest mistake you can make when cooking steak is to tell someone your fixing to do a documentary on missing children in Haiti involving the Clinton Foundation.

WE MISS YOU, TONY!!! 😪😢

Great tip. One more thing. Get a small resting rack to keep it off the cutting board. Wood is an insulator. The steak will keep cooking at a higher rate right on the cutting board than it would completely in the air. And it keeps the side against the cutting board from steaming as well

Overrated dude

The worst mistake is listen to somebody tell you how to cook your steak. That there is the worst mistake

Loved this guy

Nah...I like when the juices run out to mix with my taters.

I had a neighbor immediately start slicing my USDA Prime tri tip while I went out to get something else off the grill and he never set foot in my house again.

Sit boy, sit! Good steak. Nom nom.

RIP I miss him

RIP Anthony

I miss Anthony.
