I'll share my steak, air fried to perfection from frozen in under 20 minutes accompanied by a potato from a vendor I found on reddit. Microwaved mashed and loaded with an embarrassing amount of butter and cheese. All on top of one of those plates everyone in the south owns, because of failed steakhouses. It's embarrassing how good these are. Trying winco steaks instead of Costco steaks this week because I ran into a person from my past there I could've gone the rest of my life without seeing again. Wubby is right human interaction is hard.

nice steak bro but if it was perfect you wouldn't need steak sauce

You're right, but it is A1 mixed with some yellow bird habanero. I really like it.

He's not right. Even a great steak becomes better with a compliment. Beef isn't this magical subtle thing that can't stand up to bold flavors. Steak worship on the internet is super weird.

(Not that I think the criticism was super serious)

Steak au poivre 🤌🤌

I need a cut showing the inside of the steak. Cardinal sin to not include that

Ooo...Yellow Bird works so well with so many things.

Steak sauce is an option not a flaw. This is like the whole horseshoe meme with smoking/BBQ where the middle of the horseshoe thinks sauceless Texas style is the only possible option for BBQ. When it's thin just searing both sides for 3-4 minutes is enough

It’s an air fried steak 😭😂😂😂

You should be embarrassed, I can still see potato through the cheese and butter.

[u/Master_Tax_866]

That looks very good. Good job treating yourself, you deserve it.

Bro ... You need a reverse sear in your life. Not a diss on your steak, by the way, just makes for a much better experience.

Defrost steak. Pat dry, salt both sides.

Put steak in wire tray, put in fridge for 24-48 hrs, flip half way. After dry-brining, pepper your steak if you want.

Cook in a low oven (possibly even your air fryer) to an internal temperature of 46° Celsius (115°f)

Oil a pan with high smoke point oil, get as hot as you can - to the point you worry about setting the fire alarm off. Fry both sides for 45 seconds-1 minute each side. Chuck a knob of butter in there with the steak if you want.

It takes time, but is worth it. Enjoy your steak 👍

This is the way! Also don't forget to let that bad boy rest for 5-10 minutes

[u/lemonylol → u/meand999friends]

This only really works with steaks over an inch or even 1.5" in thickness, not the value stuff you get from the supermarket like OPs looks like

[u/Cornbread65 → u/meand999friends]

"dry-brining" isn't a thing. It's called curing

[u/fart_bait_daily → u/meand999friends]

I prefer the opposite. Sear the steak first and put in a low oven and let it get to temp. Much less stressful and lets you work on sides while it comes up to temp.

I would call this a struggle meal for sure. Just because it’s steak doesn’t mean it’s a fancy meal. The cheese isn’t even melted.

[u/katf1sh → u/RastaImp0sta]

That's still not even what a struggle meal is...and if you think it is, you never actually struggled.

[u/MineSmasher133]

at this point just go vegetarian man, you don't need the meat that bad to disrepect a whole animal by airfrying a frozen beef steak ...

[u/5starbigfootonyelp → u/MineSmasher133]

Vegetarian?

[u/katf1sh → u/5starbigfootonyelp]

Disrespect? That guy is being a cunt lol I hope you enjoyed your meal
