Duh!
What a great guy. I still think he met with foul play.
that's why he's dead just like his idea DEAD.
It’s just enough time to do a pan sauce or finish up some sides. Good way to distract yourself from wanting to cut in early.
"slice it open to look inside" ……..what is that ………..
The worst mistake is to cook it at all. Great steak is eaten raw.
I feel that resting it is very good for your first 1/3 of the steak. Then the meat is cool and not as good. The last 1/3 is cold. How do you keep it warm other than scarfing it down in 2 minutes?
RIP AB
Rip
Totally agree – 5-7 minutes to " meat coma"
Of course this only works if you have cooked it long enough and how you know you have cooked it long enough, this video won't tell you. haha
I wasn't gonna touch it, I was just pointing….Don't even point!
So, in other words, do as I say, not as I do?
Damn I miss him and the new places he would go.
My mom does everything he says not to do. 😭
Also nver use a fork to turn your steak . The juses will run out .
A relatively sensible and, frankly commonsensical bit of advice (if you paid attention in science class), and yet there are folks who come on here and think the greatest hack is making "mash" from Lays Potato Chips or dropping clumps of pre-shred cheese into hot oil.
Back of the house forever Chef, going 15 on a soft shell crab with green salad.
Hey, Bud. You’ve probably forgotten more about cooking than I’ll ever know. However, I don’t eat Tomahawk steak cold.
And don't be like me and overcook the steak. Recked a good meal that way.
7 mins is too long to leave, don't believe everything you see online
Let it sit for 5 to 7 minutes???? Nobody does that. I want my steak at least warm, and I promise you that sitting on the board for 5 minutes is going to cool that thing off terribly.
My wife watched a show where a guy cut up a section of califlour to grill and said “that’s a great center cut” and that is the worst thing to do to a steak.
I’m ready to watch his videos again. I was so heartbroken when he passed
The worst mistake when cooking’s anything is taking Anthony Bourbons advice.
Miss that guy. My Son and I used to watch him together all the time. When my son found out, we couldn’t watch any of his stuff.
Resting. Its the most important bit.
The worst mistake when cooking a steak is killing yourself. And I don't say that to troll, rather I have lost two friends this year and have seen the awful despair that the ones that are left behind have to go through.
I miss Anthony so much
i get it but i can't wait for 5-7 minutes once its on my plate.
REST IN PEACE ANTHONY BOURDAIN !!
I still can’t believe he’s gone. R.I.P. Mr Bourdain. 🙏🏻
Ribeye in the oven first, then to an oiled super hot cast iron skillet with natural butter, salt, rosemary, and thyme sprigs for the crust.
Won't it get cold?
i find it hard to believe if you put foil or something on it, it will loose its umm magic? it sounds like magic….
I'm not listening to this dead idiot.
I have this theory that this right here…..is one of the biggest conspiracies in the restaurant business. Ok hear me out (I'm being serious). When you eat a steak at a good steak house restaurant it's always so delicious. Its often so hard to replicate just how great that steak is at home. Ya sure they basically douse it in butter and use aged beef but there is one other commonly overlooked thing about a great steak house steak…..it's HOT! I don't just mean "hey, that's hot", I mean "WOW….this is HOT and because it's so hot it stays hot for your meal. Ever notice at home that your steak is maybe a bit hot to start but then you have to eat it fast as by the time you hit half way though it's basically cold. I have talked to many chef's at top class steak houses and they basically laughed when I asked if they let their steaks rest for 5-7 minutes. NO WAY. Not only do they take them directly from the fire to the plate but often the plate is heated up so even it's pipping hot. Next time you cook a steak at home, take that baby right from the red hot coals of your BBQ and slice into it and start eating it instantly. Get your table set and make the steak the last thing on your hot plate and dig in. This is all sold to us so we can't replicate those great HOT steaks we get in steak houses. Don't believe me? Try it and see for yourself. Try a steak hot as balls right from the grill and then try the same steak 5-7 minutes after it's luke warm. Thank me later:)
Miss you, man. Yes, resting makes all the difference in the world – IF you did everything right up to that point. Most people have never had a perfect steak before – and you can't get that in any restaurant – you have to make it yourself. And once you've had it, you will never go back.
