How can I gently convince my elderly white parents that well-done thin-cut unseasoned sirloin is not quite the proper way to enjoy a steak?

Have your steak how you prefer. Let others have their's the way they prefer.
>let people enjoy things!
Yes. Do you have anything to add to the conversation?
There's nothing wrong with helping your parents discover seasoning.
I love it cooked that way with lots of catsup. Steak perfection.
you're trying to hard to fit in
>elderly
how about you leave them the hell alone and let them enjoy their food in peace
they didn't raise your ungrateful ass so you can bitch at them on how to eat
leave the house and get a job you bum
You don't. You let other people have their own preferences instead of trying to force them to conform to your expectations.
You can't. People don't change. It's not worth having arguments over. Cook yours how you like it, and let them enjoy their wrongly cooked steak in peace. If they cook it for you, smile and thank them for it.
You are just young and stupid. Well done arguments are stupid to old people. They don't wish to get sick.
Get your family to cook something you actually enjoy more than well done steaks when dining together. Go ga-ga for veal parmesan, chicken piccata, country fried cubed steaks with cream gravy, chicken paprikash or chicken cordon bleu, something their generation knows how to make and is company special and laborious or fussy. Bonus points if there is some ethnicity in your family and you want to learn their German or French whatevers.
My ethnicity is white founding stock American and I would never eat a cute little baby deer that you heinously murdered well before it’s prime
veal is from a cow you dumbass
Whatever it’s a baby and you don’t kill babies you asshole
You're just gonna kill em later
So you don’t eat lamb either?
Someone hasn't tried tender piglet apparently. You'll change your tune after a single bite. I guarantee it.
-Yawn- And now you're starting the 'beef-cooked-less-than-well-done-can-make-you-sick" arguments, which will apparently never be settled. We're not talking about ground beef here. Searing the surface of steaks is generally sufficient to kill any bacteria, in the rare off chance that your meat would have any.
Just my own family's anecdotal evidence from decades of eating our beef rare and blue and never getting ill, elderly included.
Unless you're dealing with shady sources or old, temperature-compromised meats, you shouldn't ever have problems of sickness from undercooked beef.
And most importantly, I'm quite sure that preventing illness was NOT anon's parents' reasoning for eating it well done. It's likely just their preference based on habit or tradition or just how they like it.
Most people know better than to fear beef.
cut yo yappin boy and get me some ketchup for my extra well done steak too. Fucking homosexuals these days eat steak like a pussy "waah waah waah I need A1 sauce!!!" "How am i supposed to eat this steak it doesnt have salt and pepper bleh no seasoning!!" DO YOU THINK THE LAST SUPPER HAD SLAP YA MOMMAS DRY RUB??? YOU FUCKING YUPPIES???
preach
At least it is thin cut. Thinner steaks can be cooked to higher doneness without becoming tough
My dad admits he’s wrong but he refuses to eat anything but well done. He’s on a different level of picky: won’t eat fish, meat that is fatty, lamb, all kinds of crap. Which is strange because growing up I was hyper curious about food and now have a very varied appetite. He was raised in 60s Ireland but thanks to his hard work he could take me and my brother on holiday every year growing up to expand our horizons so it’s all even in the end
learn to cook it yourself you useless ape
you won’t
make a much better steak for them and when they like it, explain how you did it in detail, i find a good trick on getting old people to cook better is call the important stuff "the real trick" or ' a secret trick i figured out". I had to do this with my parents for browning meat and onions before making stews and its worked
Cook their steak the way they like it and your steak the way you like it, ask them to try a bite of yours, and if they decline or if they don't like it, don't try again. There's no point in convincing the elderly to change their eating habits.
You can't convince them of anything. They changed your diapers. You will always be a lesser being in their eyes.
Americans prepare steak well done because if their master comes by, he is forbidden to eat bloody meat and they would insult him anf get punished
so let me get this straight, you are at least late 20s, living in your parents house like a loser, don't pay any bills, don't buy any of the food, spend all day on Culinaly jerking off to cartoon little girls, and yet you complain about the way they spend their money to feed you?
if you're actually good at making steak, show them a nice medium-rare one that is properly salted, seared, and not chewy from being rare. Basically the same thing they already like, just better
Just posting in this thread to tell you that pretending to yawn in writing automatically paints you as a gigantic retard ok enjoy the rest of your self-congratulating thread now
The meme of the heckin medium rare steakerino was started as a literal propaganda ad campaign by the steak chain "Texas Roadhouse" in order to cook off steaks faster and turn tables faster so they could make a higher profit, you simply fell for it because you have so little self worth that you would do anything to have just the slightest sense of superiority, deserved or not. if you can't cook a well done steak properly maybe you should stick to bologna sandwiches.
lol, interesting new conspiracy theory to discredit the natural superiority of rarer-cooked meats. If you knew anything about steakhouses you'd know that cooking speed is no issue for the steaks themselves. The difference between rare and medium well is less than three minutes. The broilers we use are 1,400 degrees. The guy on that station is working 10 to 20 steaks at any given time; each is turned 3 times after placement on the grill. Grill is on rollers on a drawer which he opens every 30 seconds to flip the ones in the back.
Some slow-cooked dishes like prime rib would make a time difference serving med-rare, but no amount of "propaganda", or "literal propaganda" as you claim, would convince everyone to order it that way. Put more thought into your made up history tales before sharing them with the world.
Larping in a Culinaly thread squiddie?
>To know when meate is rosted enough, for as too much rareness is vnwholsome, so too much drinesse is not nourishing.
Was the steak chain "Texas Roadhouse" popular in England in 1615?
>white people trying to give seasoning advice
it's not bad. finally got my mother in law to eat a medium rare steak and she loved it. pretty sure it's because i cooked it and not her husband who would serve a bright red raw mess and call it rare
also, i guarantee i can put enough salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powders to make that steak edible. that and some herbed butter or steak sauce cut thinly across the grain won't kill anyone. it's how my mom used to make it.
we even broiled london broil all the time in our oven and it came out fine. my dad would put mustard on one and just the seasonings i listed in the other post on the other (minus the shit that would burn obviously)
