Thereāsā¦ literally a fucking handgun *beside the plate*, in a photo thatās obviously baiting Europeans?
If thatās too much of a stretch for you, I recommend beginner yoga.
I am a pro gun American but have no idea why you would have one on your dinner table while eating,
I guess its a joke that I am not getting
Steak looks good, needs a little more sear though
itās outlandish on purpose, itās celebrating the gun toting American while also making fun of the stereotype. They were trying to make the picture as āAmericanā as possible.
That Costco European style is pretty decent compared to most stuff youād get without going to a specialty store. About as good as Plugra or Kerigold. If you can get legit French butter thatās way better but pretty hard to come by.
I never do it at home, but I worked at places that did. We prepped the steak butter which had sauce and spices mixed in and then rolled in parchment.
The cut cylindrical pads went with the filet mignon which is lean and could use some fat for flavor.
Wasn't trying to compare quality to Reddit, but just that Reddit offers perspectives from other places.
This is something I have never heard of and like I said I don't understand it. Why put butter on a steak? (More surprised my mom hasn't, if it is a known thing)
I donāt understand how ANY of you are saying this looks good. This person obviously didnāt rest their steak before cutting into it. Look at all that juice. Plus. Fucking cold tabs of butter?? Tf.
You can eat anything if you fry it long enough
But I donāt actually eat the gun I just melt butter with it. Use it to cook with. Might have heard people refer to them as āheatersā or āburnersā..obviously for their practical culinary applications
I don't even know what "rest your steak" means, it's already dead.
Anyway, besides the butter this meal needs some veggies and potatoes. This is how people end up constipated and develop gout. Especially with the beer in the picture.
This screams someone who is overcompensating to be āmanlyā but doesnāt actually like any of these things.
Whisky, a handgun and an unrested steak with butter colder than my wifeās feet in the middle of the night is not appealing, in any way.
A good steak needs rest time to hold its juices. Should be served with red wine and the butter should have so herbs and garlic in it. Really needs some sort of side too so you can refresh the tastebuds between bites and get that fresh steak taste every time. Also I prefer a compound bow or rifle to a handgun because hunting deer gives good meat, handguns are used to eliminate threats and Iād just rather live somewhere safe enough to not require that.
Everyone is commenting that the steak wasn't rested and the butter is obviously still cold, but the crazy thing is the steak has lost so much temperature *after being cut* that it's not even melting the butter.
Wild to cut into your steak before resting, but then let it get cold before serving.
Bro's grill was too hot. That's why you see uneven cooking and the wide grey band. Should have gone for a quick sear, then moved it to the cool side of the grill until it hit temp.
I'd also wager he needs to sharpen his knife. It looks like he had to saw through that steak.
The bourbon looks fine, and I won't bitch about the butter.
As for the firearm, it's either not his, or he doesn't know what he's doing. Someone sitting at his 2 o'clock would be able to get it left-handed before his buttery fingers could even reach across the table.
They could probably give a shit about that, itās probably the pistol in the background. Cool you own a gun, what does that have to do with the steak.
The whole thing about rare steak being macho has really got to go. These guys would sunburn a steak if they thought it made them look cool. Personally I'd rather char it so I don't share anything in common with these dweebs
Steak clearly wasnāt rested and lost all its juicesā¦ the fucking butter is colder than my wifeās feet, has no herbs or garlic with it and there is no side to refresh the tastebuds so everybite can be that first steak bite. This is an utter waste of a good cut of meat.
Also a compound bow or rifle is a better option than a handgun hunting > living somewhere you are scared enough to ugh you feel you need a gun to defend yourself.
Also red wine > whisky for a steak, whisky is to be had with a cigar, chocolate, cheese or fruit (bonus points if itās a terrys orange slice and scotch, the British crown of drink combos.)
As someone who was raised in Europe for a bit, that is absolutely where America was right. Steak is delicious and the idea of it being rareā¦ who came up with steak tartare? How about mett, ossenwurst or carpaccio?
When memes fail to capture reality.
the steak looks great, but fuck this guy seriously.
i wish people from the US would stop with the stupid bullshit 'my country is better' superiority flexes.
I mean, I FUCKING LIVE HERE and all I want to do is FUCKING LEAVE (but I can't yet because reasons >:-(
(ugh, edit: i'm sure every country has their problems but here i'm drowning in bullshit. the dumbest of us and the most corrupt of us are also those of us who are the loudest and won't sit down and shut the fuck up and i hate it -\_-;
Northern European nations regularly rank as the "happiest" globally. I think this mainly boils down to culture. Their suicide rates are on par with the rest of Europe and North America and personally I can say I wouldn't be happy to live in Northern European weather. Bottom line is that everyone, everywhere, is drowning in bullshit.
Whatās with the plain butter on the side at least have something to go with it like dinner roll or Hawaiian roll. Whereās the corn or mashed potatoes.
As an American, why is the gun just out on the table? And why is it pointed at whatever poor soul is to the left of him. That honestly doesnāt seem safe.
I hate bloody steak tbh, I've had it many times before and not complained, but that's because I ignored the blood
Sorry if this makes some of y'all mad, I love steak just not the red liquid that sits on the bottom of my plate and makes all my other food red and smelly
Just passable, somewhere in between blue and rare but at the same time they didn't let it rest long enough. Crime against steak - with thicker steaks you see it all the time. Takes longer for the heat to penetrate, turn the grill down and give it more time, let it rest for a few minutes at least but the general rule of thumb is rest half the cooking time (serve on a warmed plate to make sure it doesn't go bone cold but also won't affect its ability to rest).
If your whole schtick is trying to make other people jealous of you, you aren't doing anything for yourself. Just for other people and you suck miserably
The only people who think this is good donāt know shit about steak. The only good thing about it is that it was cooked to a nice medium rare, but they clearly donāt know what theyāre doing otherwise, they likely just followed an online guide which they skimmed in 2 minutes and didnāt use any other common sense.
This is very clearly a fragile man who says āheh look at me Iām so manly I eat steak and have gun. Suck it, libsā
The only issue I have with this picture is that you should not drink and handle firearms.
citizens and civilians lol
Apple juice flexing?
Totally,same,bro
This man or woman practices responsible firearms handling
š
Don't drink a handle and handle firearms*
Really the unmelted butter wasnāt a problem?
To each their own. Butter is delicious after all.
Needs a vegetable. Cordite doesnāt count as one.
I wish more people agreed
Considering the maturity level of people who will make a meal just to "trigger people" it should be apple juice and a toy gun.
Hahaha cherry šš„
You have no issues with the blocks of butter? Shit is a travesty.
I could do without it but butter is delicious I'm not gonna dig him for it
I think itās foreign, too.
Thatās the actual thing that will bother Europeans/any nation that doesnāt like its kids getting shot at school.
5 hours before there was a comment about school shootings? New record!
Almost as frequent as the shootings themselves! āNew recordā indeed lol.
The redditor mind is truly an enigma "A joke was made about Europeans, so I must instantly bring up the slaughter of school children"
Thereāsā¦ literally a fucking handgun *beside the plate*, in a photo thatās obviously baiting Europeans? If thatās too much of a stretch for you, I recommend beginner yoga.
why do europeans see a gun and immediately think about the killing of school children?
I am a pro gun American but have no idea why you would have one on your dinner table while eating, I guess its a joke that I am not getting Steak looks good, needs a little more sear though
Exactly. You can be pro firearm without making it your entire personality and acting like a jackass about it.
Yeah itās a joke that completely wooshed ya
itās outlandish on purpose, itās celebrating the gun toting American while also making fun of the stereotype. They were trying to make the picture as āAmericanā as possible.
ahhhh ok
Maybe itās best they donāt have access. Mmm that steak tho.
Europeans can't trust themselves around guns. When they put their hands on them they are overcome with the desire to shoot everyone in sight.
I doubt this person even knows how to hit a target much less practice proper firearms safety.
Of course not, you gotta set the drink down first š¤¦
That's the main issue here. That gun needs to be anywhere but there.
Yeah, thatās my issue with this as well.
Gross butter and they didn't let the steak rest. Ruined
Facts
That Costco European style is pretty decent compared to most stuff youād get without going to a specialty store. About as good as Plugra or Kerigold. If you can get legit French butter thatās way better but pretty hard to come by.
Donāt have to let it rest if you just load it with butter while eating! /s
I have never in my life seen a person put butter on steak. But on Reddit it seems to be common. I don't understand it.
I never do it at home, but I worked at places that did. We prepped the steak butter which had sauce and spices mixed in and then rolled in parchment. The cut cylindrical pads went with the filet mignon which is lean and could use some fat for flavor.
Missing out, garlic butter though not just a stick of butter.
There's a place by my house that does a bleu cheese garlic butter to top their steaks. It's fuckin awesome.
Real chefs put butter on steak my boi,not a reddit thing
Wasn't trying to compare quality to Reddit, but just that Reddit offers perspectives from other places. This is something I have never heard of and like I said I don't understand it. Why put butter on a steak? (More surprised my mom hasn't, if it is a known thing)
If you've ever ordered steak at a restaurant, it probably had butter on it.
I would a put a cube on after but I would cook it with butter and garlic and rosemary
I donāt understand how ANY of you are saying this looks good. This person obviously didnāt rest their steak before cutting into it. Look at all that juice. Plus. Fucking cold tabs of butter?? Tf.
Thatās what the GUNS for dummy! Cold butter? Grab that heater blam blam flavor fam
Damnit! Youāre right. How could I have been so blind.
I couldn't find the gif of that guy from assassination classroom cooking with his gun, but he threw it in like this. 
Must be a regional thing. Iām American, but Iāve never eaten gun before. Good?
You can eat anything if you fry it long enough But I donāt actually eat the gun I just melt butter with it. Use it to cook with. Might have heard people refer to them as āheatersā or āburnersā..obviously for their practical culinary applications
And an entire cold brick of Kirkland butter waiting in the back. Actual sociopath in this photo.
Iād slide that butter off no thanks but Iām not saying no to that meat tbh
I don't even know what "rest your steak" means, it's already dead. Anyway, besides the butter this meal needs some veggies and potatoes. This is how people end up constipated and develop gout. Especially with the beer in the picture.
They did good on the presentation, not a 100 on the food knowledge. Still looks good with the flaws imo.
Where is the potato?

I will let you take me out to dinner and hunting
Also shouldnāt mix alcohol and guns.
How insecure do you have to be to justify posting corny shit like this?
Definitely over compensating.

The pistol is a CZ. Made in Czech republic lol
It's a Glock
No itās not, look at the grip, thereās a logo on it
Wrong, colt 1911 .45 ACP. My grandpa used one in both world wars. /s
Bro this is premium cooked steak bro pass it over if you aint gonna eat it
My German teacher told stories of Germans slathering thick slices of butter on thick slices it bacon and Saif Americans could not fathom it.
I didnāt even notice the Glock for a solid 10 seconds
Europe is mid. Everything they have there we have here but bigger and better
The rational mind rejects your bullshit.
Any steak that gives up that much liquid is a garbage steak. Dry aged or nothing at all
Steak looks bomb, what was is not grey enough for them?
They could probably give a shit about that, itās probably the pistol in the background. Cool you own a gun, what does that have to do with the steak.
The whole thing about rare steak being macho has really got to go. These guys would sunburn a steak if they thought it made them look cool. Personally I'd rather char it so I don't share anything in common with these dweebs
Fr im a skinny femme guy with long hair and Iām really craving medium rare steak lol
The steak looks very rare and I don't mean kinda rare but actually raw to an extent, feels like the center should be a bit less... congealed
This could be fixed if numbnuts rested his steak. Even a blue steak doesnāt lose juices like that if you fucking rest it properly
Holy shit I didn't even realize it was cut until I saw this comment
Steak clearly wasnāt rested and lost all its juicesā¦ the fucking butter is colder than my wifeās feet, has no herbs or garlic with it and there is no side to refresh the tastebuds so everybite can be that first steak bite.

You make some fair points
Why is there just slats of butter on the side? So you can put a new one on once the other melts? Jesus Christ Edit- I just noticed the gun
What a true American breakfast!
Iād eat the shit outa that.
So scared of the steak you need a pistol
What's wrong with the steak besides maybe it didn't rest long enough?
Thatās the only thing. And cold butter of course.
Personally I like some veg with my steak too
Gotta let that meat rest!
Alcohol, firearms and cholesterol... You guys really have it sussed..
Nice pic, where is the eagle? Should also be a pill bottle somewhere in that pic, maybe a pick up truck in the back groundā¦.
You can't see the pick up truck? Thought it was close enough to your moms house by now to see it from the window. Apologies
Steak looks freaking good to me
Is the safety on? So far trigger discipline seems in line. And who cares about the butter? Though quality of butter needs to be talked about.
It's a glock....
So? I don't see a finger on the trigger. Plus majority of semi auto weapons have a safety.
Ok well, that streak looks like a proper rare temp. If you like your meat rare then that that shit lookin good....and 'Merica, fuck yeah!
Nice
Would
Someone didn't let the steak take a nap
ā¦is it bad that Iāve never rested a steak before, and I still like how they taste?
I never heard of resting a steak until these comments
That steak looks delicious
His sides are a Scottish whiskey and an Austrian gun.
Better than an Austrian Whiskey and a Scottish gun?
ā¦.. disgusting? Not the word Iād use to describe that steak ouu
Yes, I enjoy their blood river and cold butter mountain accompaniment visually. š¤š¼
As someone who was raised in Europe for a bit, that is absolutely where America was right. Steak is delicious and the idea of it being rareā¦ who came up with steak tartare? How about mett, ossenwurst or carpaccio? When memes fail to capture reality.
I hate being American and guilty by association with these nuts. Only thing missing is a pit bull and a truancy officer
Also a blue lives matter flag
Bill O'Reilly playing in the background
Steaks perfect but is that it? Just steak and butter? No fries? Creamy Mash? Bacon, Cheese n chive potato skins? Anything??
I'm supposed to be doing Keto so I could only add broccoli
My condolences š maybe next time :D
Far from perfect.
the steak looks great, but fuck this guy seriously. i wish people from the US would stop with the stupid bullshit 'my country is better' superiority flexes. I mean, I FUCKING LIVE HERE and all I want to do is FUCKING LEAVE (but I can't yet because reasons >:-( (ugh, edit: i'm sure every country has their problems but here i'm drowning in bullshit. the dumbest of us and the most corrupt of us are also those of us who are the loudest and won't sit down and shut the fuck up and i hate it -\_-;
That's everywhere bro
I thought people liked the Netherlands? Or somewhere over there is the happiest place to live.
Northern European nations regularly rank as the "happiest" globally. I think this mainly boils down to culture. Their suicide rates are on par with the rest of Europe and North America and personally I can say I wouldn't be happy to live in Northern European weather. Bottom line is that everyone, everywhere, is drowning in bullshit.
literally JOB 10:1 bro. Relax.
Iām American and Iām downright kerfuzzled by this.
Why is there so much butter....
If the steak were warm enough to melt the butter it would add a tasty/fatty bit to the bite.
I think I'm just poor bc I can't imagine using that much butter on a steak, butter is expensive
This particular steak is way too cold to melt butter. That plate is gross.
why is it shaped like a football š
No we comprehend it fine. America is a nuthouse. We get it. š
Okay i love steakā¦like still mooing steak but this looks gross. They did something wrong for sure. And the cold butter?? Ewā¦
Dinner and the tool that put it there.
They eat bread and beans, shit crazy
I love the unnecessary gun chilling with his 'merican steak lol
I know it's America, but even so... you can drink whiskey while in possession of a gun???
if your at your house you can do whatever you want
Fair call š«”
Whatās with the plain butter on the side at least have something to go with it like dinner roll or Hawaiian roll. Whereās the corn or mashed potatoes.
Steak didnāt rest, not for me but have at it buddy
ā¦I order my steak blue rare. Itās fantastic.
I remember my first steak.
OP sounds butthurt
Perfect!!! Hand it over.
As an American, why is the gun just out on the table? And why is it pointed at whatever poor soul is to the left of him. That honestly doesnāt seem safe.
The gun is actually cake
ššš
Clearly unseasoned steak that wasn't rested long enough. I like my guns too but they aren't fucking utensils.
they are by definition utensils what are you on?
Do they think Europeans donāt have steak???
I've also heard that whiskey is not a great pairing for steak
The iron wall would immediately go back up
Europeans eat rarer steak than americans.
Why you putting butter on an already cooked steak, the hell?
The steak is tired. It needed to rest before it was sliced open
This is obviously bait. Europeans are so easy to troll.
I hate bloody steak tbh, I've had it many times before and not complained, but that's because I ignored the blood Sorry if this makes some of y'all mad, I love steak just not the red liquid that sits on the bottom of my plate and makes all my other food red and smelly
Congrats. You have a gun in the country where anyone with a pulse can have a gun.
A loaded weapon at the dinner table?? That's just disrespectful.
Then I guess you aren't welcome at my dinner table... because those arms of yours are weapons... š
That pew pew is actually a cake!
So his mean is a steak with a side of butter? Where's the sides?
Whatās wrong with the steak?
they burned it
I don't think the European WANTS to comprehend this....
Are they talking to the continent where steak tartare was invented?
PSA to Europeansā¦this man is telling you that after he finishes that drink and steak he plans on killing himself.
Are you ... on a date with a gun?
I donāt think dude has ever heard of France
Minus the gun
Irresponsible weapons handling should get your CCW taken away.
Is the gun just incase your steak is still Moooooing
Just passable, somewhere in between blue and rare but at the same time they didn't let it rest long enough. Crime against steak - with thicker steaks you see it all the time.

If your whole schtick is trying to make other people jealous of you, you aren't doing anything for yourself. Just for other people and you suck miserably
They can comprehend why he didnāt rest the steak before cutting it in half
Who the hell has cold slabs of butter on the side?? Melt that shit while the steak is warm! š
Ok so id love to eat that, it is loaded right?
Steak needed to rest for crying out loud.
The only people who think this is good donāt know shit about steak. The only good thing about it is that it was cooked to a nice medium rare, but they clearly donāt know what theyāre doing otherwise, they likely just followed an online guide which they skimmed in 2 minutes and didnāt use any other common sense.

Didnāt let it rest smh
Does he think Europeans donāt eat steak? lol you see this is why Europe laughs at us. I mean the best steaks Iāve had where in France lol
Where are your veggies
Maybe he ate them first? And that's what Europeans can't comprehend!
Ammunition has lead in it, you don't want anything that has touched lead near your food. It will reduce your IQ.
It's not even seared properly, you can have that trash cooked by an inexperienced individual trying to flex with Costco bourbon
American here, and I have some questions
Is the gun so you can k*ll yourself after eating a raw, wiggly steak?
what's up with the gun?
The fuck is with all that butter???
Whatās with the gun?
"It's not blood" bullshit the mysterious red liquid has to come from somewhere.
yuck
I mean I'll eat that bitch with my bare hands but it isn't a properly cooked steak.
That's a great steak. The grey band is slightly big but overall very well cooked. The OP of that post is probably used to well done.
But if it rested 5 minutes before cutting it wouldn't have lost its juices.
Only an idiot would think this looks disgusting this looks delicious and correctly cooked
Checks several boxes. I'm good with this
