My neighbor, Dave, used to microwave his steaks. I know, I know. He’d zap them for two minutes and wonder why they were like rubber bands. One day, I brought over a salted, oven-finished steak from my kitchen. He almost cried.
Now Dave salts his steak in the morning and sears it low-and-slow. He still microwaves his coffee, but that’s a battle for another day. The point is: you can do this. It’s not fancy. It’s just a little care.
So next time you buy a steak, give it some love. A little salt, a little time, and a gentle hand. Your taste buds—and your jaw—will thank you.
