I noticed when I cook, grill a steak with butter or olive oil, sometimes i get stomach upset.

I realize now that I was burning the fats or oil, making them indigestible. 🤦‍♂️ so i switched to duck fat, fortunately in France it costs the same as butter. #cookstr

Did you actually fry the steak or ate it almost raw?

I often quick fry the steak, 1 or 2 minutes on each side. So it's still red inside. I like the pan to be quite hot.

Hmmmm....olive oil is the best....but you must choose textra virgin oil with maximum acidity less than 0,7 to salads and the rest, with acidity over 0,7 to cook.

Butter is one of the worst fats to cook because it burns easy. Butter without salt, takes more time to burn.

Yes! I need to consume more olive oil, i have regular extra virgin for cooking, i want to try high quality olive oil from grece, italy or south of France, but they are quite expensive. Which one do you get ?

Yes, olive oil is becoming expensive.

I like "Rosmaninho" brand.

"Gallo", "Oliveira da Serra" and "Esporão", also good.

Why you burning the butter?

I thought the French knew how to cook

Because I often quick fry slim steak and I like the pan to be quite hot.

For more bigger steak it release more juice so i don't burn the butter.
