    As a retired firefighter of 25 years,...I can attest that the drunk method sets off fire alarms at 3 a.m. But usually, it is hot dogs when the water boils off or instant mac n cheese when the occupant passes out on the sofa....I enjoyed this video, I will have to try this method.

    Wouldn’t a thinner pan give more heat control? Cast iron has terrible heat control.
    Unless by control you mean retention or consistency. But control, to me, means having the ability to quickly change temps. Thin pans are much better for that.

    I actually worked for a few years as part of the opening team at a Texas Roadhouse in NY that opened in 2017. Line cook, hot prep, & cold prep. I didn't realize that one was different, but they had an on-staff butcher whose entire job was just butchering fresh meat. The butcher had their own walk-in cooler with their work station and storage for all the cuts.
    I hate that place and I'll never work in a kitchen again, but the butcher thing was cool.

    Black pepper does not really burn. when you put it on the steak in advance. "It is spice so it burns" is the same truth as "Lead is hard because it is a metal".

      That’s not true for many people. It also depends on the restaurant. I’m sure you can cook a fine steak, but I’m choosing Peter Luger’s or Morton’s over some dude who’s not a chef.

      Some can’t even cook for themselves, not because of some health limitations. Some can cook to survive their hectic lifestyle. Then, some can cook and match or make better steaks than chain restaurants. However, if you love to cook, experiment, and learn from the best, make your steak taste like a Michelin award-winning chef. This video is for those who want a better steak than the usual drop-in pan and eat whatever comes from it.

    For huge steaks like that try salting and leaving in the fridge for 12-24 hours, also u can score the fat cap so when rendering it cooks more evenly and you get crispy pieces of melted fat🤤

    Hi Matt! Great stuff as always! Point of contention, though. Texas Roadhouse cuts all of their steaks in house. Individual steaks are NOT vacuum sealed in plastic and opened up when ready to cook. They’re one of the few steakhouse chains that cut their own meat. My brother is the managing partner of a Texas Roadhouse. Everything is cooked from scratch, on premises. Is it the best steak you’ll ever eat? No. Is it a decent steak for a good price? Yes, definitely.

    Before putting the steak into the fridge salt it. That will give the salt time to get deep into the meat. This serves a few functions, first, seasoning throughout the cut, second, salt helps to break down some of the longer protein molecules into compounds that you can actually taste, and thirdly, helps to draw moisture out of the meat, improving intensity of flavor.

    I don't understand the Texas Roadhouse hate. I go to very high end steak restaurants regularly for work
    Privately I go to Texas Road House with the family regularly as well
    And I do not find their steak is very far off from the places where you pay $80+ for a steak.
    Maybe it is the franchise guys in my area that have the Texas Road Houses by me that are higher volume - but they do have either thawed or freshly butchered steaks out, and are not thawing them when ordered.
    At home, I also buy a whole loin, cut it into steaks, vacuum pack and freeze the ones I am not going to eat in the next few days. It gives me more control of what meat I can buy, and how thick I make my steaks, and what part of the loin I cut what from.
    Yes, I usually pick the best cuts for immediate use, and freeze the shorter ends....
    But - if I thaw them a day or two out of the freezer, then pat them down - I don't think they are that much worse in terms of meat quality than the fresh ones.
