I want to start eating steak more regularly. Someone teach me all about it like I'm 5. I know nothing about 🥩
Where do I buy?
How do I cook it?
Can I eat it everyday?
Discussion
Don't buy, just get a gun and hunt it.
Find a farm near you, wait for night time.
It looks like this before cooking:
Grass fed grass finished more $ but 🤌imo (not grain finished) is my 2 cents
I'll let others finish the rest. My point being regenerative farming with happy regular OG grazing cows without all the chems, grains, and BS. So we have you around for longer. Could be wrong but I like momma earth
For example, in TX
Found this for you. Cuz it's same logic. Watch rest of videos for insights and inspiration

Do some YouTube watching on cast iron pans and steaks.

Aldi is generally decent meat at a good price (at least in my area). Yes you can eat steak every day.
Air fryers are a decent way to go, I have a ninja. Unfortunately it seems like a good idea to avoid aluminum cookware & nonstick surfaces (which I haven't fully eliminated yet) 😢 nonstick pans apparently realease some sort of silicone oil. So stainless steel & cast iron are the healthiest options. If you have a pan you've been using don't let perfection keep you from getting started, just plan to upgrade appropriately when the time comes.
I have a glass top stove, I turn the eye that fits my pan on high, let the pan warm for a minute or so, throw a steak on with a glass lid. If the stove is hot enough when the top of the steak begins to change colors then you can take the pan off the eye, let some of the sizzling slow for a sec, flip the steak, replace the top & put it back on the heat. Cooking this way gives me a nice sear on both sides, and leaves it pretty rare in the middle. And the top prevents a lot of the mess. Afterward, if you wipe the stove kind of in a single direction around the eye using a warm wet paper towel, that really helps lift the oil off the top & make it easier to clean with a surface cleaner once the stove is cool.
It helps to have a decent knife & maybe a cutting board from target or somewhere to eat off of so you don't constantly dull your knife. I wipe my cutting board down with coconut oil every time I eat & afterward rinse with warm water while wiping any food residue off with a paper towel, & then drying well with a fresh paper towel. If you oiled it well & then rinsed it well there shouldn't be anything on it anyway, but bacteria can't survive in the wood once it's dry. I have a couple cutting boards so that I can alternate & they get plenty dry between uses.
We just got an Aldi in my area. I love everything about it but have not bought any meat yet. I’ve been a little hesitant but might need to give it a try. I love the cheap cheese types.
I go in, grab an empty box off a shelf fill it up with steak & a few dozen eggs, & sometimes some whole milk greek yogurt. And then I check out. Easiest grocery shopping ever. Things like cheese or coconut chunks are "once in a while" treats for me.
Exactly, carnivore is simple. You can throw in summer sausage/ cheeses, pork rinds to snack at the beginning. The urge goes away
Eggs for lunch. Steak and ground beef for dinner. I grill all year round
I like ribeye or sirloin. Salt and pepper an hour before cooking and get to room temp. Then add melted butter on each side of steak. Get grill really hot. Sear on one side for 30 sec, rotate 90 deg, sear for 30 sec. Flip and repeat. Then bring temp of grill down to 350 and cook covered until around 135 to 140 internal temp. Can’t go wrong.
