My r/meat experience “green text” edition

Be me, Bolivian/Argentinian living in US

Enjoy grilling and cooking meat.

Learned from father, and actual Argentinian country side gauchos from mom’s side. Not the best, but have made a lot of peoples “best steak I’ve ever had”.

Don’t care about cut of meat, meat is meat. Meat is precious, I ration it when needed. Freeze meat. Thaw, when needed. Just use salt, once it’s on grill. Flip once. Remove when eyeballs and smell tell me steak is ready. Put on cutting board, cut immediately because hungry and cold steak tastes bad. Life is good.

Eat repeat.

Life is good.

#NOO YOU CANT CUT MEAT IT HAS TO REST-YOU HAVE TO SEASON IT WITH SAUCE-OMG YOU FROZE MEAT YOU FUCKING ANIMAL-YOU MICROWAVED MEAT TO THAW IT BECAUSE YOU WERE IN A HURRY?! IDIOT! USE A MEAT THERMOMETER OR YOU WILL OVER COOK IT

Meat still tastes good to me. Try other “tips” people say. Meat tastes awful, end up overthinking and ruining precious meat. Spend several grams of meat trying “must try recipes” begin to hate myself, can’t look at myself in mirror. Wasn’t cooking meat fun once?

Become depressed. Go back to Argentina; hang with family. See simple meat being cooked. Become happy again. Forget advice, cook meat simple ways again.

Joy returns.

Mfw r/meat almost turned me into a vegetarian
