Ribeye cooked to medium in a cast iron, cote de boeuf.
I’ve always been confused as to why most popular or hyped up steak houses don’t cook the steak by basting in butter with garlic and rosemary or thyme??
Wagyu sirloin rare
Searing does not 'seal in juices', that is the biggest myth in the culinary world.
Why did James put olive oil on his steak, then act like he didn't know why there was so much smoke?. Everyone knows you dry your meat if you want it to brown, ( get grill marks)... Jaime looks like the chef in this battle!!!
My favorite steak would have to be eye round cooked well, glazed with raw honey and served on a bed of fresh potting soil.
Jamie: Has the capacity to beat James in some field of cooking.
Also Jamie: No confidence when it comes to Pass It On.
Get Mike
His calm demeanour changing to this lovely chuckle warms my heart :D
I would beat James's meat "dish"
That's why I changed to only making my steak sous vide. Too much "I don't know" and "I'm not sure" in the pan and oven cooking method.
I’m so happy Jamie won
Am I the only person who could give a fuck about grill lines? They don't make the steak taste better
2:27 I know he's saying "master butchers", but I can only hear "master bitches"...
James wearing that academical dress does things to me.
The thing is, if you mess up a steak abit it's still a steak
oh no way too pink. i get sick if i eat steak cooked like those ones. i prefer nice dar or burnt as some would say , on the outside and brown in the middle. or as my family calls it i like my steak nailed to a tree in a bushfire. Aussie here
Best steak ever is a medium tomahawk ribeye served bone in.
As James is a chef should he already know about steaks and how to treat it and that why would he need to go to a steak School to learn about it and why is he nervous about cooking it
Props to the editing / animated typography in this video! The animated "Really, really, really" nervous made me physically smile. Love your videos, food, and your entire team!
That comment made it sound like I don't always smile while watching your videos... totally not true. This one made me smile even bigger 😂
Sirloin cooked medium
Bison Ribeye (Bone out) medium-rare. Bally's Steak House in Vegas made the best one I've ever had.
Mid rare bone in ribeye, I never understood the need for a sauce, if your steak is seasoned and cooked perfectly why ruin it by adding a sauce?
Ribeye in cast iron salt pepper rosemary and butter
So can anybody explain to me what is so important about diamond grill marks that the expert says if they aren't there that is a game over? I may just be ignorant, but isn't that just an aesthetic? To me, either way, a steak is a steak and I just want it to taste good!
... I dont like steak
Bearnaise sauce my ass. Cant even stand sloppy work chef!
Some people remain adamant that you Never oil a steak, just the grill. These are also the people that ruin a steak by letting the meat burn onto the grill. I took grief for years seasoning and then oiling the steak-Then putting it on the grill.
Jaime lost that battle as he tried to cook it the way he was told in Steak School. Had he done it his own way, it would have been no contest.
Strip steak medium
I like a char on my steak 😋
I like mine more charred though! James looks amazing.
fillet minon blue
I love all of Jame's sas
I'd love to see you guys do an Ultimate Monte Cristo Battle. It's basically a sandwich in a donut. How can you mess that up?
Poach them in a little butter, oil and a bit of water
diamond grill lines are overated. Give me a beautifully caramalised and dark brown sear any day. Not to mention twice cooked chips... nah fam gotta par boil those for perfect chips.
Another thing i would do differently is sous vide. Especially for a rib eye which benefits greatly from low and slow cooking to break down the fat. Sous vide it with a clove of garlic, fresh rosmary and thyme, plenty of salt and pepper, and finally a wee splash of port.
Bary gets more than he bargained for when he sassed Jamie #Bants
Fun video, but does anyone really think Miller and Carter have good steak?
Imo, the cut doesnt matter. A well seasoned aussie bbq plate medium rare. Also places that advertise that they do the best steaks or literal steak restaurants make the worst steak (overseasoned and overcooked lacking completely in the delicious beef flavour)
Filet, Bleù.
Because rare is already overcooked
medium
Strange because in the US that char and crust are what you want.
Good on you Jamie! Not entirely surprised but still rad to see 😁
Favourite cut is rib eye and I have to have mine medium well
"I did it my way."
"Yeah, how'd that work out for Frank Sinatra?"
When it comes to steak, less is more.
Porterhouse steak RARE !!!!!!!
Chef jack from Miller & Carter is not from Texas. Those pretty diamond grill marks do nothing for flavor. In beef country, we go for a good, even brown sear on our steaks -- not pretty grill marks. James, that was is over-charred in Texas. Jamie's steak is pale in Texas.
Also, sous vide changed the way I cook steaks. Look-up "SousVideEvertything" on USclip. You can get a perfect medium rare ribeye, and still have the fat render for a juicy steak.
I take a thick lamb or beef steak. I heavily salt and pepper each side. Broil each side for 5 minutes each. Then bake it off at 350 for 30 minutes. It melts like butter and is so delicious.
Why do the normals always win
Hmmm... "hangover food" could be a good theme. I've heard of a number of dishes that are supposed to be good for hangovers; it could be fun to see what Sorted comes up with.
Grill marks are purely visual would rather have more crispy crusty surface area on a flat cast iron pan
The grill marks thing is dumb. Do it in a pan and you get 100% brown crusty deliciousness, not just crosshatching.
You guys have a loose definition of a normie lol
I don't like grill marks I prefer an overall crust. Tbh I say do it how you want like not how the meat guy wanted it like CBA with triangles. I reckon they would of done better if the guy wasn't so pretentious .
I don't care what this guy says, ribeye's are better when they are medium-rare. James's steak looked perfect.
2:27 all the steaks are cut by master bitches.
They go to all the trouble to make grill marks, then top them with butter. It's not a Pizza. It doesn't need toppings.
what kind of expert is that when he wants to see marks on the steak? that's disgusting...the crust has to be one
