I’m so glad I’m not the only person that followed a professional chef’s steak guide and lit a pan on fire.. This made me feel so much better
Same hear. Cast iron was searing hot. Added oil. Oil turned instantly black.
@Johnny Rocker, like the drink 🤣😂🤣😂 your honesty is fire comedy man. Glad you're eating good steak now my man....I got some coffee to wipe off the floor now LOL. Much love 👍👍
I did it as well. Startled the fuck outta me too because it shot flames up like 4 feet high. Pretty much ruined the pan I was using too.
He’s actually a home cook not a pro chef but he’s very good at cooking
There is a difference in following directions and using common sense
I got a Misen chef's knife. Because of German style handle and the Japanese steel, I call it my Axis knife
Smart 🤝
Nice, pretty clever

Made me laugh
I'm so sad they don't deliver to Europe :(((
You weren’t kidding with this one. I went on medium heat, flipped every 30 seconds, butter basted, and poked before and after it was cooked. 6.5 minutes later, I’m eating the best ribeye I’ve ever made.
good stuff
I love butter on my steaks!
At about 5.5 minutes you can hold the steak with tongs and brown the fat caps as well as leave fat that bastes the steak for the final turns.
One other thing is kitchen paper in Europe on top of the steak with a small saucepan or smaller fry pan it can sit on the steak lightly for an even browning and less curling with less temperature variance. A butterfly tenderloin works that way and tenderloins usually have a sauce as the flavor is not as strong. I saw Martha Stewart do the kitchen paper grill top trick and she used a bottle of olive oil sitting in a sauce pan on top of the paper sheet, on top of the schnitzel or bacon or hamburger or grilled cheese or Reuben

But he puts oil on the Steak and the seasoning on the plate
Adam Ragusea lore is the best.
Death to the Empire, glory to Stormcloaks, oh wait, wrong universe
Professor Ragusea's homework: "Buy a bunch of steaks on sale, cook em and eat em all yourself" *WELL IF I MUST*
What a bother, I guess I'll have to eat steak then...
My grade depends on it and me being Asian that also means my life depends on it also. Easiest assignment ever.
Thank you! Trying to explain this to my wife!
damn why do we always get so much homework!
no no its not THAT much 😁
Let me tell you, we have 5oz (granted poor quality) sirloins for 99c at kwik trip up here in wisconsin, and I've bought so many of them to practice cooking my steaks
You are the first person I've seen correctly warn about using an electric cooktop when heating a pan for steaks. I listened to one of my cooking heroes, Alton Brown, who talked about getting that pan rocket hot. I use my cast iron and gas stove this way with great effect. When I went to my dad's home and did this with his electric cook top, I filled the house with smoke very quickly, and that was oiling the steak and not the skillet, another good idea from both Alton and you. Thanks for all of your work and videos.
So is it possible to cook a steak on a electric stove top like the correct way
@@blakeakaLS Of course its possible. You just need a proper pan for it. Cast iron or carbon iron or steel, the point being that it needs to be heavy so it doesnt go cold the second you put the steak on it. Non-stick Teflon pans are not good, theyre very lightweight so they dont have good heat capacity and also the coating will get to your steak since it will burn off at those temperatures.
Like Adam shows you can cook ribeyes on the pan since theyre thin enough, but anything thicker than those ribeyes Adam had I'd finish in the oven. Or you can reverse sear which means you first cook them to around rare or a bit below rare then quickly finish on the pan high heat for a crust and desired doneness.
@@rykehuss3435 Or you could use your non-stick pan and "cold sear" your steak. Look it up. Lan Lam did a video on that in her "Techniquely" series of videos.
@@rykehuss3435 oh dayum the pan loosing heat when the steak is added... that is a really good point.
Been a home cook for 2 years now, and this is the first time I've heard that an electric stove's medium high is the same as a gas stove's high. I thought I've been doing something wrong. Thank you so much!
Same here. I grew up with electric stoves, then moved to a place with a gas stove and was suspicious as to why I wasn't overcooking my steaks as easily. Surely it couldn't have been that I got any better in front of a stove!
On my electric, I rarely go much past medium unless I'm bringing water to a boil.
@@russlehman2070 It's good for stir-frying, too. But yeah, not a ton of uses for that much heat.
@@DannyBeans Yeah, when I'm making egg fried rice in my cast iron, medium high is key.
I was making steak for my family at an air bnb. I'm most used to gas but have some experience with electric. I put my 2 cast iron skillets on high heat to preheat. Got distracted and turned back 5 minutes later and the seasoning was flaking off after the bit of fresh oil had burned away. Even my sister who has a lot of experience with electric stoves said that was insane. It took me a week to get a decent seasoning back in those skillets. So now I always start lower than I think I should with unfamiliar electric stoves.
You’re probably going to get memed for it, but I actually think that oiling the steak and not the pan is a genius move
I agree I always do this
Most good cooks do that
Some people will say that you have to put the oil in first to get it hot, but with steak I think it makes no difference. So much heat, so little oil - it heats instantaneously.
I am definitely gonna be using this
I think he'll be fine; it's not that uncommon to oil the steak rather than the pan. I mean, there'll 100% be meme comments on it, though.
Adam: “I actually like to oil the steak, not the pan.”
Memers: *Write that down! Write that down!*
Oiling the steak is normal. Chefs do this.
Century Egg Congee good job, you got the joke
hoshi no that wasn't the joke
@@krkrbbr oh but it was
I don't hate the comment, I hate the replys.
My mom learned to cook the way my dad liked to eat, so I grew up thinking that "steak" meant "shoe leather." It was only when I got out on my own that I discovered what medium-rare tasted like.
Same bro lol I only eat my steak rare now
im still eating well done after i discovered what medium rare, rare, medium, medium well taste lile
My dad makes the best Paraguayan steak on the bbq. He does it at a low heat for up to an hour. It's well done but very soft and juicy (you can cut it with a butter knife)
Every well done restaurant steak I've had in North America is dry and tough. Medium rare is more tender here, but it's not as flavorful, and my dad only seasons with salt and pepper, so it's not the seasonings. But bbq is a daily thing if you grow up on a South American ranch, so I guess you perfect it after a few generations
Same deal with me, i'll never let my parents near a steak again. I am the meat man of the house now
My dad likes shoe leather too. Once we went to a decent steakhouse (which rarely happened.... Bonanza was a big treat as a kid) and my father ordered a filet mignon and asked for it well done. The waited questioned him. A minute later the waiter came back saying the kitchen just wanted to confirm because they don't recommend it.
My dad said he enjoyed his steak.
That seasoning the plate next to the steak so you only have to wash your hands once trick is gold. Adam is a home cooking genius.
Adam: "Does that mean you can't cook a good steak in a pan if you live in an apartment building with poor ventilation?"
Me: This is it; the tip that changes my life! I didn't think it was possible! Oh, happy day!
Adam: "Yeah, maybe not, honestly."
Me: ... *Single tear*
I don't have a smoke detector, so I open all windows and wait for the smoke to dissipate, takes 10-15 minutes. It probably looks very suspicious to anyone outside seeing me open the curtains of a foggy apartment
He said you could go with a thicker steak instead (12:50). We have hope!
Reverse searing might be better as you dont have to sear it for as long. I might be wrong though.
Patrick Waa we can’t afford that tho😭😭😭😭
When I was a kid I lived in an apartment with my mom. She worked at a local meat market and got a lot of free meat so we ate steak a lot for how poor we were. Anyway she used to just take the smoke detector down and put it under a pillow until we were done eating. You could try that.
Adam: Doesn't season the cutting board.
Me: That's impossible.
But he does oil his steak instead of the pan
He’s not “Adam” he’s been kidnapped by Mobsters because he seasons his board and is held hostage
He seasons his plate instead of his steak too....
Just made my first steak. Mom was mad about all the smoke, but it came out good! Thank you.
That's why I go for super thick 1.5-2 inch steaks. Low and slow heat to develop a good crust without all the smoke and greasy floor.
Me watching this video as a college student:
"So, how can we do this in 10 minutes with a microwave on a $3 budget?"
Oh nah😭😭 If you can only microwave... do NOT make steak😂😂
Use an irom
@stockart whiteman You forgot the part where we collapse the lofted beds, exposing the weed that the RA stashed in the mattresses to sell over the course of the semester.
But I do support the idea of burning the textbooks.
Uhhh🤔🤔
Easy, get too round steak, cook it in a grilled cheese toaster for your microwave. It'll be sad and probably taste like shit, but it's better than nothing.
There's a lot at *steak* when it comes to beef puns..
Especially when they are *widely panned.*

@@TVIDS123 Agreed, it's really helpful 😅
I think its cause the majority of his audience is from the us and uk. Although im from neither country, so neither help :(
My wife and I are new subscribers. Old people, but new viewers. Retired now, and able to leisurely cook, rather than making sure kids are fed. At first I thought "who is this snarky guy?" But if you aspire to snarkiness, you must first be good, and Adam, you are exceptional. I look forward to every new post, and learn something new each time. I am learning the answer to questions that I have wondered about my whole life. Thanks Adam, for teaching these old dogs new tricks.
I like seeing constant flipping covered. I know it's common for people to think you're screwing up a steak or even a burger if you flip it multiple times, but it definitely helps get the middle cooked to the right doneness without overcooking the outside. I've never really timed it, but it also seems to finish cooking faster when doing the constant flipping.
This video is such a convenient coincidence - I wanted to cook steak tomorrow, funny enough with oven fries after your recipe as a side dish. That will be a good opportunity to try out and apply your advices!
Love your videos! They're always so well researched and structured and a pleasure to watch! 💖
Happened to me the other way around. I had some steaks and finally decided to cook them yesterday )': . The second one came out excellent though, so no regrets
You should check out Ethan Chlebowski's video where he takes Adam's recipe and tries to improve it with experiments. It's really good. I think he does a fantastic job showing why Adam's works and why his works too.
@@Furen was about to say the same, i really recommend that video
@@Furen I tried his suggestion about putting vinagar in the boiling water and the resulting fries after baking them were garbage. Super tough, I guess that's why you'd wanna break down the pectin.
Update us, Capt. Alex.
I’ve had a Misen knife for a while, and I cannot recommend it enough honestly. Also, I bought it with the Stainless Pan and that pan is really nice too.
Feels nice when a sponsor is actually good.
Your comment made me know it was a good purchase. I guess I need a new stainless pan at some point now too. Great to see this post. TY
I was so hyped up to buy one honestly, but then the inability to ship internationally hit me hard :(
Yeah I have a Misen pan too. Nonstick, it’s very nice with a thick bottom but the coating is a bit different than traditional Teflon and is not ridiculously slick, rather it has a bit of roughness
@@michaelworley6431 maybe it's marble coating - it's more durable than teflon. I now have only marble coated pans and even very cheap ones haven't lose their coating yet.
You are definitely one of the best and most effective educators on youtube, up there with Organic Chem Tutor. This video was incredibly well done and it’s honestly rare to see something like this. Thanks!
Adam, you’re amazing! The key to my subscribing to your channel was how you can read the common folk’s mind, per say. Questions like “why do you need to cook a steak on high heat?” are usually overlooked by other food enthusiast UA-camrs. It’s ABSOLUTELY key to becoming a better cook to know WHY you do things one way and not another. Hardly anyone goes beyond telling you how to do things. Your edge is that you instinctively know-the way a good teacher does-how to not just instruct, but to give the REASONS why we do things the way we do. Love your content and thank you!

Hey Adam! Can you do a video on your take on making a smoothie?
bump
Do it

Speaking of smoothie, what's the difference between a 'Juice' and a 'Smoothie'?
I’m also interested in seeing Adam’s take on smoothies. In the meantime, internet shaquille’s video on smoothies is pretty good
Hi Adam! My home ec. teacher showed me this video during class and I really loved it! Keep up the good work!
I find your videos incredibly informative and well explained. This one is one of the best ones of a very good bunch.
For you cooks who also like math: Just a super quick correction on 11:49. No, the most you can cut the fibers is not in half.
If your cuts are thinner than your steak's thickness than you would be cutting each fiber more than once (assuming 45° bias). In fact, the number of cuts to each fiber (on a 45° bias) will be equal to the thickness of the steak divided by the thickness of your slice. (eg if your slices are half as thick as your steak then you will be cutting each fiber 2 times, resulting in each fiber being 1/3 the intial length, on average)
For any uniform cutting you will be cutting each fiber this number of times:
tangent (angle between knife and grain) * (thickness of steak) / (thickness of cut).
I don't know if it will make a difference in the texture of the steak, but, surely, it is physically possible to cut each fiber more than 1 time :P
Oh henlo, your highness!!!
@@c-r0w knowing this I will now argue to people that it is indeed possible. I'm not smart enough to understand why or memorize this, so I won't have anything to back it up so I'll look wrong :v but I'll know.
@@c-r0w my bad I don't know why I replied to you meant to reply to the original comment lol
I don't think he meant it was physically impossible
LyricWulf that’s a good point, foods like Philly cheesesteak or Mongolian beef rely on slicing their beef extremely thin on a bias to make it tender. I’m sure you could do something similar with steak, but I’m also positive that I personally don’t have the knife skills to pull it off.
Aaaaand subscribed! There was nothing in this video I didn't already know but the presentation of it was both informative and not long, drawn-out lectures. While I am a medium-rare person, I also loved the fact that you said "this is your steak, cook it how you want". Can't wait for the 201, and to see how you do sous vide preparation, which is my absolute favorite way to make steaks. My fiancee's father simply cannot believe a steak made in a pan and not on a barbecue grill can be good. His daughter wholeheartedly disagrees! Thank you for this great video
Hello Adam! This is Brennan. I got your Cameo video today of you wishing me a happy birthday, and I just wanted to say thank you so much!! I made this steak for myself today, and it’s still resting. I used my brand new cast iron skillet to cook it! Thank you for inspiring me to pursue my dreams of cooking. Much love ❤️
Excellent video !!!
Explanation as well as your
Voice carries an influence that motivates me to cook a steak
On a pan and not the grill.
BRAVO !!!!
Adam, how do you prepare physically, emotionally, and spiritually for a video like this when you absolutely KNOW that as soon as you upload it, it'll be met with "Why I season my X and not my Y" memes?
He talks about that in his video "watch before you blow up on the interent" He says it was a clickbait goofy title so of course it got memed
I miss the days when Adam would make a comment preemptively answering 5 questions.
I actually thought he looked at comments, and if he saw a lot of common ones, added it to his pin post for that video. I guess he's just too busy now to go through so many comments for all his videos.
Yeah I think his comments got filled with so many "jokes" and stuff he can't find any actual questions
I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologise.
What we came across in the woods that day was obviously unplanned. The reactions you saw on tape were raw; they were unfiltered. None of us knew how to react or how to feel. I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down and stopped recording what we were going through.
There's a lot of things I should have done differently but I didn't. And for that, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry.
I want to apologise to the internet. I want to apologise to anyone who has seen the video. I want to apologise to anyone who has been affected or touched by mental illness, or depression, or suicide. But most importantly I want to apologise to the victim and his family.
For my fans who are defending my actions, please don't. I don’t deserve to be defended. My goal with my content is always to entertain; to push the boundaries, to be all-inclusive. In the world live in, I share almost everything I do. The intent is never to be heartless, cruel, or malicious.
Like I said I made a huge mistake. I don’t expect to be forgiven, I’m just here to apologise.
Im ashamed of myself. I’m disappointed in myself. And I promise to be better. I will be better. Thank you.

I just watched this. Went out and bought tenderloin. I used your method. Oh my goodness! So good! Thank you!
This came on while I was getting changed this morning and couldn't get it out of my head, tonight I'm sitting eating rib eye with a garlic aioli - they were a bit thick so went with a medium-high setting instead of full blast, came out perfect, also did the multiple turns and got great results with a bonus criss-cross grill pattern, perfect crust, and juicy interior - love your stuff it just makes sense!
You mention a few times that the muscles in the cow that do the least work are generally the most tender. That's really interesting!
I wonder if lazy cows have meat that tastes better? (because they've used their muscles less?)
Not really. The less a muscle is used the more tender it becomes, but it also lacks flavour. That's why tough cuts like brisket taste so good, they've been used all the cows life but are super tough unless you cook it low and slow.
They do, for example wagyu cows are lazier
It would not taste "better" per se, but it would be more tender. As a muscle works more, it would become tougher, but it would also develop more beef flavour.
therealxurxx fan I wouldn’t say “lazier” but much more pampered, also the cows are way less crowded and less stressed which can play a factor in tenderness and taste
Tenderness is a factor of how much work a muscle does, flavor profile is a factor of the animal‘s diet.
That “good luck” at the end makes me soo anxious
IKR? 👀

Thank you!!
I did ribeyes last night for Valentines day. I wish I had seen this before cooking. Hind sight.
My Wife was quite happy and the steaks were like butter. They were not perfect, but every time you cook, you learn something.
So I made the last steak recipe tonight for dinner. I sautéed some green beans in all that garlic buttery steak juice and served it with garden tomatoes and pizza bread. It was hands down the single best meal I’ve ever made. Thanks for demystifying steaks for us newbs!

Thank you, just thanks. I love cooking because of how easily you make it to learn.
I appreciate the pointers for people like myself who live in a poorly ventilated apartment with extremely sensitive smoke detectors. Cooking in here is a nightmare so any tips to reduce my anxiety are super helpful. As usual, great stuff Adam!
This is the most informative cooking video I have ever seen. Subscribed.
Thank you! I cooked USDA Prime Ribeye and Filet Mignon for Christmas dinner for my family tonight. Used your technique and everyone was so impressed! Came out perfect

depends of the topic of video, a knife ad in a cooking video is more likely to get people interested in the product unlike a wine ad in a gaming video
Perhaps they choose not to be beholden to anyone?

But he did oil the steak NOT the pan.

Thank you so much for making this video. I have to make steak for the first time tonight, and having an idea of how to start is going to help.
I bought a chef knife from Misen. Thanks for the recommendation!
Was it good?
Very informative, thank you. I followed the "max" heat advise from chefs ... with an induction. The thing was so hot my entire apartment was filled with smoke and my gas alarm went off that's 2 rooms away. I had to ventilate the apartment the entire day.
I've been cooking for a couple of years now learning almost exclusively from UA-cam
This is literally the best steak video I have ever seen on UA-cam
So informative! The best cooking tutorial I’ve seen.
Great video! Steak was indeed a nightmare in an apartment. Now that we just moved into a house, still no ventilation but we do have a grill. But no one on UA-cam has decent grill tutorials. So I'd love a grill tutorial from you at some point in the future ♨️
So I haven't done my own personal research on it (and don't plan too) but Wired did a pretty thorough investigation on that knife and it turned out it didn't meet many of Misens claims. I'd love for you to do a full review (without Misens sponsor). Either way I do hope people read a few more reviews on that knife before blinding buying it.
Best video on how to cook steaks that I've seen! Bravo. Although I'm skeptical about the claim that cutting against the grain doesn't matter because supposedly the steak has already been cut against the grain.
Wow! -- EXCELLENT video! Great narration, great photography, great audio! Bravo!
I’m so glad you mentioned that you don’t need to pull your steak out 20 min before. There’s so much balogna that pro chefs have just passed on to each other over the years
And debunks the olive oil and roasts the chefs that use the hand trick. Adam you’re a saint!
Haha... I did exactly the same thing with my first stainless steel pan. The oil glazed over the pan and I had a heck of a time removing the polymerized oil. tip: use cerama-bryte or barkeepers friend to clean stainless pans.
I've cooked two steaks now using this method, and they've come out perfect both times. Thank you!
Tried my first time to cook a steak, ribeye to be exact. Thank you a lot for these tips, because if not You, it probably would've ended up worse. Cooked it to rare level, which isn't really what I was aiming for, but still came out good
i actually grew up with my dad oiling the steak and not the pan. and he’s always been a really good cook, his food was always delicious.
Made steak with my buddy the other day, it went alright. Definitely going to try the flip often method in the future though, seems so much easier!
Man you made a lot of sense explaining all of these processes. Thanks man! 🤙🏽
Adam ragusea, I just wanted to say thank you i cooked a prime ribeye and it was the best one I've ever made thank you for teaching 2.8 million people how to cook really good steaks please keep up the good content and thank you!
Somehow, in a world full of steak videos, you managed to create something very unique and it taught me alot of useful things.
"Chef's aren't the best at teaching home cooking"
Gordon Ramsay is notorious for this. He makes amazing looking recipes, but majority of them are not practical for the masses in their homes. There was that one video about cooking a dinner party on a budget, and the ingredients would make it like $20-30 per person, which is basically restaurant prices but you have to prepare, cook, and clean yourself and nowhere near as good as a cook. Not really helpful.
Usually the price in a restaurant is 3x the ingredients price. Your $20-30 per person would have been $60-90 in a restaurant.
He’s not, he’s always going for the best even tho he’s teaching some amateur 20 year olds, I just watch him I don’t do his recipes.
Cheff Pierre taught me how to dice an *OÑO*

Yeah, but some people are gonna try and do his recipes at home, no matter how expensive it is or how difficult it is, or whether they can't do it or not.
You might as well become a Michelin Star Chef if you wanna make his recipes.
Reminds me when he made videos like “Good back to school kid lunches” and he’s out here making a whole buffet in the morning like who tf gonna do that for their kid especially on a regular basis 😂
I have never heard cooking steak explained quite in such an actually easy to understand and applicable way before. 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you for this video upload. This is very helpful. Keep up the great work.
Adam, thank you so much! My on-the-stove steaks are usually... not-so-hot. But tonight I made two scrumptious steaks based on the instructions in your video. Quickly learned and adjusted the right heat setting for my pan/stove. And the herbs and garlic additions are a revelation! Fantastic!
Mr. Ragusea, thank you so much for this! I was raised as (and currently am) vegetarian, however my bf is a carnivore & loves steak (which is fine by me). I wanted to cook him a steak dinner but was clueless on the particulars to even seriously consider it. This video was beyond helpful in not only explaining the process but also explaining what would happen if you were to change certain parameters in preparing it. Truly appreciate this sir!
And? How did it go? We must know! :-)
I hope your bf appreciates you!
@@Ryan_Thompson hope she sees this (she didnt)
I just made my first ever steak and it was amazing. Thank you for this!
Great Video! Simple and has the basic fundamentals covered. I would make one suggestion though: for all those people stuck in a tiny apartment with the smoke detector and no balcony: use the reverse sear method where you heat up the steak in the oven at low temperature and then quickly finish the crust with a blow torch
The whole prep for the steak was just full of asterisks and footnotes and I love it.
Tldr: "Why i baseline poke my beef not my palm"
So simple yet why i never thought about it before...
Subscribed, slowly got recommended more and more and I watched more and more. Great vids and a subscriber for your efforts!
I'm an inexperienced cook and decided to try steak for the very first time. (I'm very familiar with pan chicken by this point.) I knew just where to turn for info and tips. Thanks, Adam!
