How do you eat steak?

[Secret Chief]

What is " that"?

Speculating. Humans have been around for about 300,000 years. As indicated by @Shadow Wolf it's not obvious diets contained a lot of meat.

What we may or may not have needed in the past is irrelevant to today's needs. The planet is covered in cows and chickens bred simply to be killed for human consumption. It is not sustainable or healthy.

"even small amounts eaten daily – 50 grams or 1 small hot dog – increases risk for colorectal cancer by 18% compared to eating none."

Bacon, Hot Dogs and Lunch Meat - Is it Processed Meat?

And that is daily. Once or twice a month should not be a problem. And what is an "18% increase"? I think that doing anything to excess is generally not a good idea. Bacon is a treat or a rather minor ingredient in cooking at times for me.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you;

Some moving things are poisonous and deadly for us to eat, like pufferfish.

Well you pays your money and you takes your choice. The WHO classes processed meat as a carcinogen.

Yes, but they are also not kosher. So perhaps that is an out.

Poison dart frog on a bap. Yum. Apparently further details are made explicit. A sort of deity-dictated shopping list.

And they are sometimes unreasonable in their classifications. Meat itself raises the odds of colon cancer from what I understand. Why bacon and not all meat? I think that they realize that most of us need some form of meat. I am not a favor of what are essentially black and white fallacies in classifications.

A hamburger bun? No thanks, I would go to Burger King first:

bap - Wiktionary

Nor me. Meat is bad too, just not as bad. I eat neither.

There's rules about what to eat later, but I'm going to say God knew we would figure out what was poison.
Since the Flood every moving clean, healthful, nonpoisonous type of animal life is good for food, but later Peter is given license to eat previously unclean food. Probably because he would be eating with non Jewish people.
I have no problem eating bacon. I'm not Jewish so not under the old covenant laws.

"Unclean" and "clean" doesn't actually mean safe or not to eat. Lots of us regularly eat animals declared unclean in the Bible.

There's reasoning behind what was unclean though. Remember they didn't have refrigeration.
Shellfish would not have stored well for example. Pig even now should be cooked really well.
Even some of the non dietary laws have other reasons than just being symbolism if you look into it.

Take the poll, because why not

I voted rare but it really depends on the steak, sometimes it needs to be blue and i like steak tartare too

I used to say wipe its arse, cut off its horns and serve it.

You really shoot yourself in the foot when you refer to myths as being part of your guideline.

You know, I might believe in flying pink fairy unicorns, but that would be a belief that is best kept to myself. You could simply say that you follow the dietary laws of the Bible.

You are a bit behind the times. Pork can be safely cooked to just medium. Or in other words 145 F.

What temperature is well done pork chops?

And we've had methods to preserve food long before refrigeration.

More pigs & cows....fewer humans.
Problem solved.

They aren't myths.

Yes, salt for one. Much more involved and labor intensive methods.
I still make authentic jerky, which is only dried, not cooked, so I guess you could say I do eat raw meat occasionally, but I wouldn't recommend doing it with pork.

That is a thing of beauty. It has a very short gray zone. It looks quite a bit like a sous vide steak:

That is not the best photograph for actual color of the steak. But you can see that it has a very small area that is affected by the sear.

EDIT: Rats! Hit the reply button and you can see the image.

That looks so tasty. I've been interested in homemade steaks in the last few months, so I might PM you sometime to talk about all of this and maybe ask for tips on making good steak. You clearly have some experience with that.
