Insane: who cooks a steak like this?

Biefstuk-Favorflav

Have there always been this many crazy people, and does the internet just make sure we see more of them? Or have TikTok, Instagram and Facebook drastically increased the number of idiots? Because yes, we’ve got another gem on our hands. This Tammy claims she has discovered why steak tastes absolutely delicious in a restaurant, while your steak at home is, at best, meh. Read on and shudder.

‘Restaurants don’t want you to know this, but this is the secret to cooking a steak at home that’s just as delicious as the ones they make in a restaurant kitchen,’ says Tammy Louise in her TikTok video. Great, a hack for cooking the perfect steak—we love that. All cooking hacks, actually. Because there are always tips among them that make you think: handy, handy. But Tammy’s secret is as unbelievable as it is ridiculous. Because she uses butter. Not a knob, or even a generous lump, but an entire packet.

No meat in sight

Of course, everything tastes better with butter. The three secrets of classic French cuisine: butter, butter and butter. But even then, you can have too much of a good thing. Because this is what Tammy does: she coats the steak in such a thick layer of butter that you can’t see any meat anymore. Then she covers it with a packet of taco seasoning (?) and fries the steak in a frying pan over low heat.

Bobbing steak

The butter melts and fills the pan to the brim, and there the steak from food lover Tammy bobs around. ‘I saw that film about Julia Child. And she says it too: more butter, more butter.’ Her TikTok video has prompted responses from all kinds of people who have worked in restaurants. ‘We use more butter than people do at home, that’s true,’ says one commenter. ‘But this much is absurd. This makes absolutely no sense.’
