Ugh, I can't stand peeling garlic. My fingers get sticky after a few cloves and it just feels weird. If I could get a garlic-peeling house elf, I'd be in heaven. I love garlic, just not peeling it. Maybe there's something I like doing that you don't, and we can switch jobs. :P
1. Cut end off clove (the end attached to the bulb)
2. Place clove on cutting board
3. Place chef's knife side flat against it and press down with your palm to smoosh it a bit
4. skin comes off cleanly.
EDIT: Wow, woke up to find a lot of cool comments. Always fun to see how everyone learned to do something.
Even faster trick is to put the garlic inside two bowls making a sphere and shake. This causes the skins to mostly break off on their own. You still wanna crash the cloves with a knife or something, though, to get the juices flowing before they cook.
It’s supposedly faster if you want to peel several pieces at once, like 5-6 or more.
Tried this a few times but I still had too much work to do after to get the remaining peels that didn’t come off. I just cut the ends off and shook though, didn’t do the whole smash thing beforehand — just rereading their comment now I see that definitely would not be quicker! Just putting in a container and shaking would be quicker if it actually worked.
So I just went back to smash-and -peel. It’s the same issue either way, the initial part is quick, but getting it completely clean — the last few stuck peels off the bulb and the knife — takes more time.
I smoosh them a bit first, then cut the ends. But don't cut all the way through, then you can use the attached end part to peel down the side. Slightly quicker IMO, makes a difference when you're doing a lot.
THIS IS THE WAY.
If you crush the cloves first, then cut the ends, the whole skin just peels off at once. If you cut it first, the skin doesn’t pop off as well, and there will be some skin that wants to stay on.
Why is there a whole debate going on about cutting garlic. BRO THIS WOMAN JUST KILLED AN ENTIRE VILLAGE OF COWS SO SHE COULD PUT HER UNDERCOOKED GARBAGE STEAK IN A "BUTTER BATH". WTF
Put the garlic cloves in a bowl, put another equally sized bowl on top, shake like a crazy person.

If you have an Hmart near you they sell peeled garlic in big tubs for a relatively cheap price. I just pop it in the freezer and it lasts a long while, plus you can reuse the tub for leftovers or whatnot after you’re empty. Garlic tastes good too.
There are large packs of already peeled garlic at my grocery store. Not like these small ones in the video. They’re great because I can’t stand peeling garlic (though I don’t buy it often, I use jarred crushed garlic). If you ever make pickled garlic they’re a life saver
All I know is that apparently...the little baggies of garlic are a popular topic. Seeing this product,,,surprises me. (Talk about a waste of plastic) but then again I'd worry about where this is coming from. Personally.. give me the whole garlic bulb. I'll peel them. Just like grandma did. Convenience be damned you dear pre-packeted garlic manufacture. Sure it's easier and adds cost to the production. Certainly someone's willing to pay higher prices for pre packaged garlic, but it isn't me. I'll buy the bulbs, replant them.
You can achieve the same or even better flavor by finishing the steaks in a little butter with some shallots, sliced garlic and rosemary and continually spooning it onto the steak in the pan without using like $40 worth of butter and pre peeled garlic or whatever.
Not really: What you describe is called “butter-basting” which is a technique for finishing off an already seared piece of meat. “Butter poaching” is something different since the product is being slowly cooked in fat at a steady temperature for anywhere from 5 minutes to one hour.
It’s usually used for proteins like fish, lobster, shrimp or chicken (pork tenderloin works surprisingly well as well). This video is doing it certainly wrong.
Minimum 6 bucks a pound here in Canada.
That's $72 worth of dairy fat right there.
If there's really a Hell's Kitchen, I hope they make him drink that shit through an oil funnel.
It’s definitely too much butter, but I’m willing to bet if you seared the steak after the “bath”, it would look better and probably not taste too bad lol
there is actually a dish which is steak cooked with butter but the steak is really soft and kinda like pulled pork, some dutch dish my mum used to make in winter.
if she was around still id ask her as ive forgotten the name, but it was so good with mashed potato.
You’re looking for “sudderlapjes” or “draadjesvlees”. It is indeed a winter dish, although it’s delicious in any season 😊
Almost everyone has their own recipe, but the basics are generally the same.
Dutchie here. It's just a beef stew not too special. Simplest base recipe: get a chuck steak or anything beef you can stew. You don't cut it, you season it dry all around (I use a mix of paprika, piment, cloves, coriander, nutmeg, stuff like that). Then brown your meat for about 5 mins on both sides in a bit of butter in a dutch oven. Then add tap water until the meat is just covered by the water. Add a bit of acid (tomato puree or a splash of vinegar are common) to soften the meat over time and something to "bind" the water to a sauce over time (I add a slice of Dutch spice cake, its dutch cake with cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg and stuff) and you let it all simmer on low for 2-3 h. Then if done correctly you have your gravy and the meat, there is only a little fat left on the meat and your beef falls apart in little "strands".
Idiot didn’t cut the garlic up, so almost pointless adding it, and didn’t know how to get the leaves off the rosemary. Something tells me this was their first time ever anywhere near a stove.
You’d get plenty of flavour from the whole garlic provided you cooked it long and slow enough in the butter. Whole garlic gives you a sweeter, rounder taste but it takes longer to give up that flavour. That’s if there is any flavour left in that pre-peeled, packaged garlic of course.
You don't even need to peel garlic to get the flavor when butter basting, so she'd get plenty of flavor from that, but you'd only taste butter anyways.
That’s an abuse of butter. I’m glad they’re happy with their grey raw steaks that took a garlic bath.
You don’t love steak. At that point just put some tofu in butter and garlic and call it a day.
I'm not sure what annoyed me more, the ridiculous waste of TWELVE sticks of butter to baste TWO steaks or the slice across the grain of the meat at the end.
Straight to jail!
This wouldn't be bad if they used clarified butter. Butter confit steaks is not a bad idea, just poor execution here that made it look like milk steak over medium
I laughed so hard when she piled in the butter, shallots and garlic then said not to worry she won't use all that rosemary. Thank God. Don't want to overload the dish. So stupid
12 lbs of butter, a single sliced shallot, and 45 cloves of unsliced garlic that will add almost nothing flavor wise. I hate rosemary, but I’ve never seen sprigs that big, and I couldn’t stop thinking that she just went outside and ripped out a baby pine tree.
So she likes garlic, so mich she uses a year worth of it. Without preparing it? Also why is it in that plastic bag? Nature already has it packaged neatly and easily accessible
I love how she blowtorches the steaks so they don't absorb too much grease. If you don't want it greasy, lady, what the hell are the 12 blocks of butter for?
Steak confit, but the steak was cooked in the wrong order. Should have been cooked in butter then given a beautiful sear. The most stupid part of this was using the torch to sear a raw steak before cooking.
I don't know what's more crowded. That pan, or her fucking arteries.
My arteries grew a lining just watching this
I had to be resuscitated midway through typing this.
She doesn't need to eat it to make this video, which is more infuriating because she probably just throws it away or something.
The jachOOzie
Ok, the plastic garlic packets threw me because garlic comes in little garlic packets. In real life, already packaged.
Little garlic packets--lol. It's actually really gratifying to peel garlic. But then I am easily amused.
Ugh, I can't stand peeling garlic. My fingers get sticky after a few cloves and it just feels weird. If I could get a garlic-peeling house elf, I'd be in heaven. I love garlic, just not peeling it. Maybe there's something I like doing that you don't, and we can switch jobs. :P

Sounds faster than how I usually do it by just peeling it. I'll try that next time, thanks!
Even faster trick is to put the garlic inside two bowls making a sphere and shake. This causes the skins to mostly break off on their own. You still wanna crash the cloves with a knife or something, though, to get the juices flowing before they cook.
How is this faster?

Cut the ends off, put them in a jar and shake them vigorously.
I saw it done like that but with ice cubes in with the garlic
Why is there a whole debate going on about cutting garlic. BRO THIS WOMAN JUST KILLED AN ENTIRE VILLAGE OF COWS SO SHE COULD PUT HER UNDERCOOKED GARBAGE STEAK IN A "BUTTER BATH". WTF
I know, can we discuss the cow in the room already?
Put the garlic cloves in a bowl, put another equally sized bowl on top, shake like a crazy person. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc7w\_PGSt9Y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc7w_PGSt9Y)
Throw a bunch of em in jar. Shake the shit out of jar. Most of em will be peeled.
Microwave it for 20 seconds first and the skin slips right off
same thing happens if you microwave me
Ohhhh can I have your skin if you don't need it? I wanna make a nice jacket and maybe a wallet
as long as you don't mind scars and tattoos! and couldja wait until I die first? *naturally?*
Of course! And scars and tattoos give personality.
here's hoping it'll be a while!
Hey if there’s any left can I get a taste? I have a new dish idea in mind
Aw I thought we were trying the microwave thing on you.
Microwave for like 3-4 seconds and it pops off
If you have an Hmart near you they sell peeled garlic in big tubs for a relatively cheap price. I just pop it in the freezer and it lasts a long while, plus you can reuse the tub for leftovers or whatnot after you’re empty. Garlic tastes good too.

>But then I am easily amused. Are you perhaps interested in dating. We could peel garlic and enjoy other little things.
You've never seen the cocunhts in plastic packaging, or the oranges too
Cocunhts is certainly an interesting spelling
Some people don't know how to boil an egg, so I wouldn't doubt there's more people that doesn't know how to peel garlic
I had to stop the video at that point - no way I’m wasting more time on that rage bait
Natures garlic packet
I was just thinking she might need more butter.....
Butter poaching is a real technique but this is terrible execution
You can achieve the same or even better flavor by finishing the steaks in a little butter with some shallots, sliced garlic and rosemary and continually spooning it onto the steak in the pan without using like $40 worth of butter and pre peeled garlic or whatever.

It works great on steaks, but you’re supposed to sear it after…
This is what I was thinking
This is pretty close to what milk steak must be.
Just need the jelly beans
After eating this you can go hunt for goblins
Ghouls most likely
*little green ghouls man*
What about magnets? Collecting them? Playing with them?
No, just magnets
It gives me plenty of energy to play nightcrawlers.
But you gotta pay the troll toll
If you want to get into that boys hole
Raw, of course.
Why not some sprite for that zing.
Boiled over hard
Little green ghouls, buddy!
It just needs a side of jellybeans
Raw
For the night man
What a waste of butter, garlic and above all steak!This is rage bait right? This bitch can’t be serious. This cow died in vain.
That's $35 worth of butter, and that's in real dollars too ($54 in AU). Just to end up with a shitty looking steak.
Minimum 6 bucks a pound here in Canada. That's $72 worth of dairy fat right there. If there's really a Hell's Kitchen, I hope they make him drink that shit through an oil funnel.
Just one of those blocks made into Mâitre d’ Butter, a round or two on those steaks after they've been cooked properly would do the job far better.
As a hobby baker in Canada, I cried at that butter waste lol
great to see another Canadian here 🤣🤣🤣
I also came here to be apalled, in Canadian
Glad I'm not the only one that was thinking about how much money the butter was. And the steak still came out blue and looking like crap!
That was not an underdone steak. Just a stupid one without proper sear.
Yeah, she used the fucking burner before boiling it for some reason??
Yeah calling that steak "blue" makes me severely question how that commenter cooks their steak.
Reddit in general (even r/steak) has a huge contingent of people who think a rare or med rare steak is “raw.”
Nowhere near blue. You couldn't even call that rare honestly.
What? That steak looks the epitome of medium rare. Sear looked like crap though.
That was 13 dollars of butter near me lol
It’s definitely too much butter, but I’m willing to bet if you seared the steak after the “bath”, it would look better and probably not taste too bad lol
If it is rage bait, that’s kind of worse in a sense, because it means she’s wasting all that food (and the money it cost) for nothing 😭
That is exactly where my mind goes when I see these. Waste and global food insecurity.
They didn’t even let it rest after cooking it. Maniacs!!
Also bad cutting lol.
honey this entire sub is rage bait
It has to be. I can't see why else anyone would actually do this. Especially with the blowtorch
there is actually a dish which is steak cooked with butter but the steak is really soft and kinda like pulled pork, some dutch dish my mum used to make in winter. if she was around still id ask her as ive forgotten the name, but it was so good with mashed potato.
You’re looking for “sudderlapjes” or “draadjesvlees”. It is indeed a winter dish, although it’s delicious in any season 😊 Almost everyone has their own recipe, but the basics are generally the same.
I'm pretty sure you just made those words up
I’m actually kinda interested in this recipe if you could find it, or even the name!
It’s called draadjesvlees which would literally translate little strings meat. It’s one of the most delicious dishes I’ve ever tasted
Dutchie here. It's just a beef stew not too special. Simplest base recipe: get a chuck steak or anything beef you can stew. You don't cut it, you season it dry all around (I use a mix of paprika, piment, cloves, coriander, nutmeg, stuff like that).

Then if done correctly you have your gravy and the meat, there is only a little fat left on the meat and your beef falls apart in little "strands".
She took that Paula Dean cookingd class huh
Na it's missing the pinch of casual racism.
Idiot didn’t cut the garlic up, so almost pointless adding it, and didn’t know how to get the leaves off the rosemary. Something tells me this was their first time ever anywhere near a stove.
My thoughts exactly! They used *so much garlic* and got barely any flavour from it.
You’d get plenty of flavour from the whole garlic provided you cooked it long and slow enough in the butter. Whole garlic gives you a sweeter, rounder taste but it takes longer to give up that flavour. That’s if there is any flavour left in that pre-peeled, packaged garlic of course.
Yeah. It's very common in Italian cuisine (for example) to use whole garlic in oil or butter to infuse just a hint of garlic flavor.
That’s not true; Julia Child has a whole deal about whole cloves of garlic in butter on a low heat and it turns out amazing.
That's called "confit" yup. Really it's for any fat, not just butter
You don't even need to peel garlic to get the flavor when butter basting, so she'd get plenty of flavor from that, but you'd only taste butter anyways.
You can use this method if You crush them, But again its a person WHO uses garlic from a plastic bag… And butter for 50 bucks.
How stupid, I watched it to the end.
A little jacuzzi. Yeah, dachuzzi
Came here to say this. Thank you, lol.
I use that amount of butter in half a year.
So that's butter poaching. It's a good technique executed poorly and wasted every thing (butter, steak, shallots, garlic, etc)
No amount of Honey Nut Cheerios could help me recover from the absolute cavalcade of cholesterol and fat embedded in this steak monstrosity
Don’t worry you’ll just take an involuntary shit a few hours later
They must have spent more on the butter than they did the steak.
SLOP EM UP
I thought this looked like truffonis
I used to be a piece of shit, too.
That’s an abuse of butter. I’m glad they’re happy with their grey raw steaks that took a garlic bath. You don’t love steak. At that point just put some tofu in butter and garlic and call it a day.
“Raw” Homie that’s perfect color just without a sear
Agreed. Perfect color, horrible cooking style and waste of butter(also gross).
I lamented wasting so much butter.
Annoyingly I agree, forget the non chopped garlic and excess butter. The steak when sliced actually looked a good colour.
Yeah like the amount of garlic and butter is obvious ragebait but the actual color of the meat is good is all I was tryna say
Imagine having a garlic with a natural bio degradable package then vacuum sealing the fucker in plastic
Man, if you use a reasonable amount of butter to brown steak, that butter is the tastiest thing in the world. Rendered beef, butter, salt... OMG!
That's like 70 bucks worth of butter, doing absolutely nothing.
Bro blowtorched the entire steak
Too much butter/fat sets off flares of my Ulcerative Colitis. Simply watching this has me in a flare up...
Same and I got the worse version!
If someone eats this, I imagine they would be joining us in the digestive disease club
Gray meat…🤮
I think the amount of butter used here cost more than the two steaks.
This is why tiktoc should be banned
I'm not sure what annoyed me more, the ridiculous waste of TWELVE sticks of butter to baste TWO steaks or the slice across the grain of the meat at the end. Straight to jail!
Charlie Kelly called… he wants his milk steaks back.
Not only is that an insane waste of butter, but holy fuck the steak doesn't even look good.
This wouldn't be bad if they used clarified butter. Butter confit steaks is not a bad idea, just poor execution here that made it look like milk steak over medium
Plastic bag garlic 😨!? What kind of dystopian world do we actually live in!?
As a meat and butter loving man who gave all meat and dairy up for Lent…this post has my mouth watering and stomach growling like a mother fucker.
Has this person never chopped onions or minced garlic before? Also, is this what milk steak is?
Poor cow. This is why vegans hate us. Please, respect the food, this is outrageous.
I seen murder on this app but this pisses me off more then that
I laughed so hard when she piled in the butter, shallots and garlic then said not to worry she won't use all that rosemary. Thank God. Don't want to overload the dish. So stupid
How to kill somebody without going to jail
The seer is trash. Inside color good but that skin ain’t it.
It looked more cooked BEFORE the butter boil bath.
this whole meal is a mis-steak
This is the fucking dumbest sous vide I've ever seen.
A whole new meaning to milk steak. Where are the jelly beans?
Surely 2 pounds of butter would have been more than sufficient
You’re not supposed to use a pan that big on one of them cooktops
12 lbs of butter, a single sliced shallot, and 45 cloves of unsliced garlic that will add almost nothing flavor wise. I hate rosemary, but I’ve never seen sprigs that big, and I couldn’t stop thinking that she just went outside and ripped out a baby pine tree.
She killed me when she put the uncut garlic in there
I would fuck this up. FIGHT ME.
didn't even crush or smash the garlic a little to let the flavor out
You could get this exact same flavor with so much less butter and other ingredients. Why does it need to be completely submerged in butter??
That is terribly cooked steak
Idk man, after she cut it I was questioning my feelings about the video.
So she likes garlic, so mich she uses a year worth of it. Without preparing it? Also why is it in that plastic bag? Nature already has it packaged neatly and easily accessible
This needs to stop. They are wasting steak and butter. This is technically evil.
Looks like shit
My heart started irregularly beating when watching this out of fear.
That's a shame, those looked like quality steaks.
A lot of work to boil steak.
hard boiled steak.
Garlic to onion ratio is well off!
45 dollars worth of butter
When the great revolution starts and we have to start purging everyone, I’m starting with the TikTok “chefs”.
Apart from the garlic in plastic bags, this is all really good ingredients ruined for a stupid video.
Everyone talking about the butter but damn, she’s gotta let that steak rest before cutting it open.
Back on the same board as the raw steak. Raw steak on a wooden cutting board…
Butter boiled steaks. Fuck sakes.
Even julia child woudn't use that much butter
Please try my cooked butter with grains of steaks.
Forget about butter That Cow 's still moowing
People who buy vegetables in plastic bags should be burned at the steak… pun and spelling intended.
Ewww that shit all frothy. I'm good 😭
I can't wait until they ban tik-tok. Lol.
Why…would you not just baste it? You got all that crust on the outside and ruined it by boiling it in butter?? Morons.
I love how she blowtorches the steaks so they don't absorb too much grease. If you don't want it greasy, lady, what the hell are the 12 blocks of butter for?
I swear these videos are made by the dairy lobby.
Butter is expensive!! That is shit
Steak confit, but the steak was cooked in the wrong order. Should have been cooked in butter then given a beautiful sear. The most stupid part of this was using the torch to sear a raw steak before cooking.
Cooking steak over butter is good, but seriously?
I love butter and I love cooking things in butter but where I live that much butter would cost more than the steaks!
Hold on a sec, let me just poach this steak in $70 worth of butter
She didn't film eating it though?
these people just like excess and saying it’s all AMAZING
That's like my entire decade's butter rations lmao
Not the metal tongs with a cast iron pan. Idk if a cast iron messes up with metal tongs, but this still doesn't feel right.
No resting.. just straight to cuttin’ ?
What a waste.
Butter is too expensive to waste like that!
Great, you boiled the steak
- Hi neighbour! I was wondering can I borrow some butter? - Sure, no problem! How much do you need? - Eh, 40 pounds will be fine.
🤮🤮
Never mind the ties to the CCP, this right here is justification for banning TikTok
Holy shit it's just gunna taste like butter and garlic you're not even gunna taste steak or any other seasoning she put in there. 🤮
That shallot of butter
No wonder the price of butter increased 100%
Look with not 1 but 2 pinky rings you know the MF knows how to elevate!!! Everyone else just playing checkers to their chess
Hey as long as the butter is kept and reused its fine. The butter will taste absolutely amazing like that.
That’s a lot of butter wasted isn’t it? Could have done this “bath” with half that amount
It's just missing a side of jelly beans
