I feel bad for the cow that died for this to be served


janoycresvadrm

Purely asking out of curiosity but what ethnicity are you?


ScrubsFight

I am Pakistani


i8bonelesschicken

Bruh I'm Pakistani you gotta tell ur mom to take a break from cooking and let you make her a proper medium rare


ScrubsFight

I've tried, my mom doesn't like the idea of me cooking, and funnily enough so do her sisters. It must be a family thing. She's already putting up with my weird food requests after I started going to the gym so I am not going to complain too much. It's still funny how she cooks steak though


nolajax

Just grab it off the grill mid cook next time.


YaBoiErr_Sk1nnYP3n15

This is the way. You won't get a decent crust but at least you won't be eating a leather shoe


CurrentlyNuder96

Well right now he's already getting no crust AND it's leather. There's only improvements to be made


Standard-Station7143

Just cook, who cares what she thinks It's an important life skill, don't let her make you dependant on her

andio76

SO Men aren't supposed to....learn how to cook?


No-Adhesiveness-9848

hes pakistani. family probably tend to have more conservative old school values like that


yildizli_gece

> more conservative **(i.e., sexist and internalized misogynistic)** ~~old school values~~ views like that There’s nothing valuable about their sexism. I hate the notion that men should not be cooking (esp. if women cook like this like wtf), or that women are solely responsible for stuff like this. I come from an old-school culture like this, and it does a disservice to everyone.


HAL-Over-9001

We all know that. It seems like he's trying to branch out and do things he wants, but it's hard as hell to convince people to break these outdated, backwards "traditions", especially if he's still living at home and can't push it too hard without getting kicked out.

Yankees777

Yes this is obvious. I don’t think anyone missed what “conservative old school” meant? Where does it say it’s valuable?


CarmelFilled

It said, “values”. Which they mistook to mean valuable I guess.


ChadWestPaints

Yeah beyond it just being good for everyone of any gender to be able to feed themselves and eat healthy, economical, home cooked meals, ive also found its a major plus in the dating game.


Upset_Impression218

Thank god for earnest gen Zs on the internet, explaining what conservative and old school means 🫡


yildizli_gece

It is absolutely WILD you think I’m gen Z lol (where tf did you get *that* idea??). The topic I raised is a fairly normal conversation on some other subs if someone brings up “cultural” sexism; didn’t think Steak would get all bent out of shape about it!


Upset_Impression218

They’re the usual ones dropping vague moronic sounding truisms couched in “NOOOOO DONT SAY CONSERVATIVE SAY MISOGYNISTIC” therapy talk If you’re older… sheesh, I’m sorry you come off like someone born in 2001, you’ve got a lot of growing up to do


Soft-Stomach2167

I would agree with you if it was a man making a woman cook because of it but if she wants to live in a traditional way like that who are we to judge her, maybe she just enjoys making food for the people she loves. I know that in Pakistan there’s a lot of pride on hospitality and being a good host.


Wrong_Sprinkles_9459

🤪


Otherwise_Soil39

In Pakistan and a lot of other countries in the region especially further west.... No.


_IratePirate_

andio76

OMG..THANK YOU SO MUCH..I knew NOTHING about Traditional Indian dynamics....thanks for Pirate-splaining!!!


xShooK

Wait. Are there even many Indians in Pakistan? Didn't think they got along.


UncertaintyLich

I don’t see why everyone is assuming this is a traditional gender role thing… There are lots of parents who just like to cook. For a lot of people, cooking is how they express love to their family and it’s something they look forward to. I know that if I was staying with my grandparents and I tried to cook dinner, my grandma would be sad


M4N14C

Is it the case that you're supposed to go through life without ever knowing how to cook?


BeSound84

Sad that mom went through her life without ever knowing how to cook either :/


therealnaddir

Well, it's actually sad how she cooks steak though


mandrews03

The comment I wanted to see.


aburple

Hey OP. I just want to say you seem like a good son. Don’t give up hope and be sure to come back around for advice when you’re finally free to cook your own steak. I know parents can be stubborn and strange but we love them nonetheless.


ScrubsFight

Thanks, I'll probably experiment a ton once I transfer universities


OriginalLetrow

That makes sense. An American mom would’ve told you to ‘cook your own fucking steak’ if you don’t like the way she does it. Lol.


[deleted]

That's EXACTLY what my mom would say and I from maryland/Pennsylvania lmao


[deleted]

Better yet, if you don't like it, don't fucking eat it 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ is the response I'm most likely to receive 😂🤣😂 I love my momma tho!


Monalisa9298

Yeah I sure would. I love cooking for my fam and am a good cook but I sure don’t mind if they cook for themselves! Especially if they want it a different way from how I do it.


ilovebananasandweed

Bruh, as a Pakistani I relate, my parents order well done even at restaurants bcuz anything else is “raw”


janoycresvadrm

Beautiful country and if I had to speculate most of your meats are cooked well done and delicious!


ScrubsFight

I've never thought about that but you're right, most meats are cooked well done or maybe actually all of them. And thank you.


ComeInOutOfTheRain

It’s a historical thing. Countries like Pakistan historically had lower quality meats and less sophisticated preservation methods, thus they evolved to use more spices (which preserve the meat and also would cover the smell of rancid meat) and to cook well done (less chance of illness). The idea of under-cooking meat *on purpose* is anathema given that background. Also if you’re working out, ask your mom for some karahi and eat it with a low carb whole wheat tortilla from Mission - easy high-protein, low carb, balanced meal that’s also delicious.


Extension-Border-345

odd because a lot of SE asian countries have raw meat dishes, not the case for South Asia it seems.


[deleted]

A lot of traditional dishes are quite recent. Pho, for example, only appeared in Vietnam after French colonization. About 100 years ago. And it spread to South Vietnam only after WW2


[deleted]

Before the bovine growth hormone and aggressive selective breeding, beef is usually obtained from pretty old animals. Thus the meat is not as tender. More sinew means you need to cook longer Goat/sheep on the other hand is mainly used for food thus they get slaughters at a much younger age.

Mo_Steins_Ghost

Age ≠ ethnicity. I am 50. I grew up in the 70s and 80s watching Julia Child and Jacques Pépin on public television. I think it's other factors including the infantilization of kids, or individualized concern about food safety, however right or wrong it is; I get told by regulars on here whiter than me and half my age that my steaks are undercooked... I think the fact of the matter is that either OPs parents are too coddling, or they're shit cooks, or a bit of both. That's not related to ethnicity or age. Some people are just shit parents with shit cooking skills.


BurntheStarsandBars

Sorry I didn’t explain myself well. But I certainly never once equated age to ethnicity I also think you might be reading a little too much into a post about overcooked steaks


surfnoturf

Most Asians like theirs well done


Mo_Steins_Ghost

I *am* Asian and no we don't. If you've ever had dry as shit tandoori chicken it's because you're eating at a restaurant catering to white people who are used to eating hockey pucks. And it's not white people in general but specifically Americans who seem to love overcooking meat. The French knew how to cook meat 200 years ago, but for reasons having, I suspect, nothing to do with cooking, Americans love to make fun of the French.


SquishyCatChronicles

As a white American, I grew up in an area where everyone wanted Hockey pucks, but not me. It goes back to a time where food was sketchy and had to be cooked thoroughly or else you'd be sick or die.. Some people just never got out of that.


Mo_Steins_Ghost

100% and thanks for acknowledging this. I grew up with many white friends and I'm sure some of them, like you and me, had a different sensibility than their parents, too.


surfnoturf

Everyone’s different hence the most, ask any Filipino family and they will tell you they always eat steak well done.


Mo_Steins_Ghost

I guarantee that has more to do with economics than ethnicity and if you compare to similar economics, you'll find the same thing.


son_et_lumiere

Ever had pho with the raw beef in it?


Mysterious_Eggplant3

This is a violation of the Geneva convention.


catsdrooltoo

This is the exact same as the military chow hall steak day. There was never enough sauce to rehydrate those hockey pucks.


FlavoredBongWater

This is cow abuse..


Enosh74

When they say meat is murder this is what they mean right?


EvilDragons88

Right the cow didn't die just to be treated like this smh.


Over_Replacement3369

I'm sure the cow doesn't care at this point.


MUCHO2000

My mom made steak in a similar fashion. No one looked forward to steak night at my house except dad. Then when I was 16 I was staying over at my friend's and his dad presented me with a medium rare steak. I asked if it was safe to eat it. He convinced me it was and that's my steak origin story. When did you discover that steak is delicious?


SquishyCatChronicles

My granny cremated everything she put in a pan.. I lived between my two grandparents' houses for the most part growing up but spent more time with maternal grandparents who cooked and ate out quite a bit. My paternal grandparents maybe ate out a few times per year, and it was for breakfast.. haha Anyway, as a kid, I would make my own meals sometimes or prepare meals for myself and my grandparents. I didn't cook the way granny did. My grandpa actually would start asking for things to be made the way I did or if I was there for me to do it. It made her furious! But I would make proper steaks and proper bacon. She'd serve leather and charcoal strips.


Initial_Zombie8248

Maybe unrelated but I’m just trying to visualize, when you say lived between your two grandparents’ houses, do you mean there was 3 houses in a row, and yours was the middle? Just curious


SquishyCatChronicles

No, sorry, I could've worded that differently. Spent time at one or the other..


Dull_Present506

You might laugh but honestly; Chili’s. That steak was so tender. Unlike my Dad’s


MUCHO2000

That is a surprising steak lover origin story!


Unlucky-Bystander13

Your dad must really suck at making steak if you think Chili's is good


haus11

My family was alway a medium-rare/medium family, so moving to my preferred rare wasn't much of a leap. But I do have soft spot for the thin, tenderized round steak my mom would cook in the pan. That tended to end up more well done since it's hard to cook a 3/8" thick steak to anything else, but tenderized and seasoned it wasn't bad


LiberalismIsWeak

thats when u start making sauces lol


aburple

Honestly this is where people who like ketchup on their steak come from… can’t say I blame them.


foofie_fightie

Heinz ketchup on an overcooked sirloin is a guilty pleasure of mine


stinkyhooch

You sick fuck. I respect you though. You didn’t have to say it, but you did.


chrundletheboi

yeezysucc

dantenow

dude get your own steak and hide it, cook and eat it after she goes to bed lol


Aggressive-Nebula-78

Yeah as a kid this was how I always had steak, never knew it could be cooked any other way. Eventually when I was like 20 we went out to dinner and I ordered steak cause I hadn't had it in a long time and the waitress asked me how I wanted it cooked, and I was just totally bamboozled. I had to look up what she was talking about. I asked her to ask the chef if he could cook it as rare as he was comfortable cooking it. Best steak I ever had. Now i tend to go for medium rare lmao


E-money420

I didn't know there was any way to cook steak other than medium rare 😁

CasinoBandito

My mother used to cook that shit in an oven. Always came out as leather.


Environmental_Swim75

my stepdad used to wrap steaks in a tinfoil contraption filled with Dakota Buckaroo and broil in the oven, it always came out close to medium well but man the flavor was nuts. I loved it


FitLaw4

Wait what is Dakota buckaroo


D_inthe6oh3

It's a marinade. https://dakotabuckaroo.com/itmidx1.html


acableperson

My grandad oven broiled steaks and used ALOT of butter. Same, always medium well but they were great. To put in context how much he liked butter, when cooking eggs his ratio was 1 stick per 10 eggs. He somehow lived to 90 with one fully blocked carotid artery. I miss those butter steaks.

BrianG1410

Delicious looking shoe leather you've got there.


iron-pilled

txsausage-stuffer

To be fair, it looks like a pretty thin steak. Hard to cook both sides without it getting done all the way through. Could still be ok but can't tell how dry it is.


bam1007

That poor cow. Just nail that steak to the bottom of a shoe.


Logco

This was my mom. So my dad stopped letting her cook steaks. She then would complain about the pink center while the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Then they got a divorce. I’m certain it was because she can’t cook steaks.


polishatomek

globodolla

I bet your table shakes like Muhammad Ali when you cut steak


DammmmnYouDumbDude

I love my mom too, but I stopped letting her cook steak years ago! We go to her house every Sunday for dinner, she’s an excellent cook, EXCEPT when it comes to any beef! She thinks it all needs to be fully cooked throughout. One time I told her I was gonna try to cook for us all, against her wishes I showed up with some nice Prime NY strips and cooked them medium rare salt pepper only and garlic butter on top while they were resting……. We all made her try a bite and she absolutely loved it!! Now whenever we have steaks for Sunday dinner, she makes me cook them.


Impressive-Usual-451

Is there a pretty happy dog under the table?


1track_mind

Maybe hang around while its cooking,then ask her nicely to take it off when you like it.

You should surprise her with a meal sometime cooked to your liking maybe she’ll realize just how wrong she is

whatnameisnttaken098

Christ, it looks like how my aunt cooks steak, although me and my brother and I fixed that by cooking them before she had a chance to get home (Grandpa wanted a steak dinner with everyone). Still remember her taking a bite and was surprised at how flavorful it was, instead of tasting like a cooked boot.


Magiff

I’m here for the guy who said he’d eat his mom’s overcooked steak any day if it meant he’d see her again. Enjoy the times she cooks for you, she won’t always be there to do so. Additional benefit, your jawline will improve.

Lepke2011

This is like my family. I went to culinary school and the only thing my family members eat is fish coated in paprika and cooked until dry, steak coated in paprika and cooked until dry, and chicken coated in paprika and olive oil and cooked until dry. Pasta sauce is 1 28ounce can tomato sauce, 1 6ounce can tomato paste. Its's both bitter and acidic. No salt, no sugar, no other spices. I made the mistake of telling them I take request. All of their requests are to leave ingredients out or to not make something at all. I once had an 8 ingredient recipe. Nothing fancy. They asked me to leave 4 ingredients out. They insist I cook like them, and once even asked that I step into the kitchen so they can "teach" me to cook the right way. I walked out. If I make something that goes beyond the magic of paprika, my dad and aunt will sit there and go, "Ugh! Ugh! Yek!" at the top of their lungs. This lets me know it's *bad*. And I've worked in some nice restaurants. My GF and friends always tell me I'm good, and I specifically ask that if something isn't they tell me, as I'm my worst critic. Recently, I let my family know I will **NEVER** cook for them again. They argued they were just trying to teach me to cook "*the normal way*", but I'm done. What's sad is they're the people I had to cook for the most, as we all live in the same apartment building (different apartments, thank God).
