whoever started the myth that you should only flip steak once should be taken out back and shot in the face
how many steaks have been ruined by this nonsense

You need a beefer
I agree
All me a nerd but I just Sousvide it @130 degrees for 2 hours and then just flash it in the pan and butter based it for like 30 seconds.
More importantly one must sear the entire surface on cast iron
I've though about this a lot over the last 30 years of cooking steaks. I learned to cook a steak this way at an early age. I now go up to 3 flips depending on how well cooked they want their meat.
It was cooking the humble chicken breast that really enlightened me as to the why behind this superstition. I cook a very juicy chicken breast by the way. The trick is to not overcook it.
It's really to do with knowing how cooked the meat is. Once you turn a steak, you lose most visual cues that signal how far the heat has penetrated your meat.
This can be easily overcome with a meat thermometer.
Legit. Burgers, however, flips = one and done. 🤣
