Thoughts on black and blue steaks?

2.5 inch top sirloin steak. $3.49 a pound, bought from my grocery store's expires today section.

Smother in seaweed salt, mustard, pepper, and worcestershire sauce marinade for two hours.

Heat grill to 700, cook for two minutes on one side, then 1 minute on the other.

Eat with milk and biscuits.

Best by dates are fairly conservative from what I understand but I never see like “expiring soon” discounts at whole foods or central market.

HEB/Central Market and Sprouts just call it a manager's special or something to that effect. Makes it sound classier.

I’ve seen it at heb but their beef is honestly shit compared to central market. I don’t think Ive ever seen the yellow sticker at central market.

I thought for sure they have discount stickers, but maybe I'm just misremembering lol. I don't shop at Central Market that often anyway, I prefer other stores.

Nah they definitely do not. It was the closest thing to me throughout college so I shopped there regularly and would have absolutely taken any of the manager’s specials if they had em.

From what I gather, fancier places will mark sell-by dates earlier than needed to by law. When the meat hits that without selling, they'll remove it and use it as part of their premade meals that they sell in-store. Poorer grocery stores without a department like that simply chuck it in the Buy 1 Get 3 Free section, where a :marseymerchant: like me quickly snags it.

I'll have you know thermometer said 95 center when it came off the grill. Allowing for 10 minutes for heat from charred outside to continue to cook, and it's safe and tasty.

Milk is produced by cows so it only makes sense it would go well with beef

$13.99/lb original. 25% off because of shopper member program, then 66% off because they were going to have to throw it out at end of day.

I'm a medium to medium rare enjoyer, but I like it reasonably cooked through, blue is r-slurred cute twink shit. Might as well just eat the raw steak right out of the bag like the caveman subhuman you are.

I do medium rare for most cuts but if it's a cheap cut and I have to use it for steak then I'll do medium (can break down all the connective tissue) because doing anything otherwise makes them too chewy.

The patrician’s choice. Literally the only acceptable way to cook a steak.

I’m at the point where I’m kinda hankering for a raw steak. I ate a tri tip last week and I cut off the marinated cooked edges and just ate the rare middle part.

Not for me tbh

I don't like them like that. For most steaks with some interior fat like ribeyes, the fat will usually be disgustingly chewy because it hasn't been cooked long enough (obviously not a problem in your pic since you have a very lean cut, just in general). I also feel like the flavor and texture you gain from shorter cooking times has diminishing returns beyond the medium rare area. This is from my own experience eating steaks that rare, not judging what anyone else wants to eat. I just don't think it's worth it, personally.
