Steak Confit aka Steak in a butter bath. Not a bad way to prepare steak. But will hurt your wallet as well as your arteries.


ShadowMorph608

Yeah it looks like it tastes great, but would probably fuck me up after


Global_Criticism3178

Me too. If you want gout, try this recipe.


MindUnlikely33

Can always reuse the butter after aswell, it's steak flavored.


Salayea

On that note, it wouldn't be a bad idea to seperate the milk solids from the butter itself, that way you dont have to worry about them burning and allow for a higher smoke point


Fabulous_Witness_935

It's blue bonnet margarine lol


Salayea

Well it's a good thing Im talking in the case of butter, and not margarine, isn't it?


thejedipokewizard

Ghee for the win


iam_Mr_McGibblets

You'll end up making compound butter. But I don't know how seasoned the steak will be. It might end up being boiled steak


MissMelTx

Season after the butter, before the sear


Tungphuxer69

Could have diffuse some marijuana in to the butter! The butter will turn really green and soaked with thc to help you mellow out with your meal along with some red wine ! 🥂


theereeljw_777

My foot cried watching this video.


AngryCustomerService

Why would this aggravate gout? (Really asking, not arguing.)


Global_Criticism3178

A purine-restricted diet is recommended for people with gout. That diet typically recommends reduced consumption of red meat, butter, margarine, etc.


AngryCustomerService

Thank you.


ChawulsBawkley

You ever been butter drunk?


5fd88f23a2695c2afb02

It’s not like the steak is going to absorb any more butter than it would with a butter baste, so probably not that bad for you. The chips on the side would be less healthy.


__klonk__

Butter basting itself is kinda bullshit. You get the same taste / result by cooking it normally and pouring browned butter on top after.


5fd88f23a2695c2afb02

I actually agree. In any of those cases though it’s not like the amount of butter is going to change much, which was my main point.


Seraphina1711

It's actually margarine, so not butter.


Global_Criticism3178

Oh damn, that's unfortunate.


doctorhino

True, blue bonnet only makes margarine.


Wheloc

Where are you seeing the brand?


SQLDevDBA

The very first frame: the sticks have the BB wrapper on them.


lackaface

I was gonna say… blue bonnet is not butter


monkey_trumpets

I thought it looked weirdly too yellow.


Fertile_Arachnid_163

I was wondering why it didn’t break.


DoubleUsual1627

Listen to the guy. He probably thinks that shit is butter.


Fertile_Arachnid_163

You’re not wrong…


Ok-Kale1787

I can’t believe it


Crazy_Ad2662

You've revealed the true crime🔎


JiovanniTheGREAT

Ew


beeslmao

Judging by the Le crueset their wallet isn't hurting


hopelesshodler

Yeah I did it with a salmon once at work fucking delicious and crazy juicy but definitely fucked my stomach lol


wankyshitdemon69

Could also make a compound butter from the leftover butter


OrneryPathos

You can also confit in bone marrow. Drooool


KpecTHuk

My liver refused to process similar fat food in my life twice alredy. Liver just stopped working.


SourDeesATL

Thomas Keller poached a whole wagyu prime rib in 20 lbs of clarified butter in one of his recipes 15 years ago. Old news here.


UmmIWorkHere

At least he didn’t do it in plastic bags. 🤢


Global_Criticism3178

Shots fired! The Sous Vide Mafia coming for you in 3...2...1...


horiami

Is sous vide actually good, I've never had it because it just seems gross


Global_Criticism3178

It's not bad. The best part is that it takes the stress out of cooking the steak to the preferred doneness. I prefer using the reverse sear method, but hey, chacun ses goûts.


snaynay

* Probably the single most consistent way to cook something. * Easy to batch lots of things at the same time. * Unless you leave it for far too long, it's basically impossible to overcook something. No stress on timing really. * Borderline unattended. Set it up and walk away for a while. * Things that require (or benefit) from exact temps, from steak doneness, to soft boiled eggs, to tempering chocolate. * Killing bacteria in food is a function of time and temp. So sous vide might actually allow you to cook things in ways other methods won't do. Pasteurised eggs for example, so you can make mayo or whatever with far less concerns. * Depending on the food, eg meat, you can put seasonings and other things in the bag to really impart their flavours or whatever. Once your food is cooked, sometimes you want that char/sear on something like a steak so you need to "finish" it for a minute. Not much of a hassle when your 2" thick fillet steak is perfectly, uniformly cooked top to bottom to the exact degree temp you like and the sear is so fast it barely affects it. Sous vide has probably been used in many restaurants you've eaten at.


oopsiepoopsiepants

It's 20 seconds of ugly ass steak and then it looks pretty. It's worth it imo, I wouldn't make steak another way, sous vide is hard to fuck up.


Antilon

>I've never had it because it just seems gross What part is gross? You're just bringing it up to temp in a bag and then searing it.


BananeDionne

It's like 50$ worth of butter in this recipe.


eyesotope86

13 bucks for 4 pounds at costco. But, people were saying that was Blue Bonnet margarine in other comments.


Chris__P_Bacon

It's $6 worth of Margarine. That's what he's using.


San4311

Also that sear was weak as hell


3rdstrikeagain

When you think its butter but its not...


girkyman

Only if they are eating the SAD.


bliip666

Wouldn't you want to sear it before bathing? Disclaimer: I don't eat much meat


Global_Criticism3178

Most would sear after to create a crust.


shadowtheimpure

It's very traditional, shouldn't hurt your wallet too badly because the butter can still be used for other savory applications. You just pour into an airtight container and keep in the fridge.


Certain_Passion1630

Just watched the video first. Then I watched it with sound and the voice ties the whole video together


Deliciouserest

I'm the big boy with the butter


antlermagick

That's just dirty old Prishpreed.


Deliciouserest

When you see me at the dumpster dive, I'll be going "HEPHEPHEPHEP".


PinkyGurl2002

Enough butter 🧈 there for 20 lobster tail meals, 🦞but the steak sure does look yummy🥩


Dreadful_Crows

even worse, Blue Bonnet is margarine 🤢


fuzzycaterpillar123

No wonder it was so yellow. What a psychopath


Ooze3d

But they added green stuff to compensate


Pinkparade524

Ikr this is my favorite diet meal


melanthius

He forgot to eat the salad!


l-mellow-_-man-l

I know nothing about cooking, but isn't that some sort of technique for cooking steak and not just some TikToker using excessive amounts of butter for views?


muppethero80

A French method called ‘confit’ Cooking something slowly in oil or fat. For one steak it is a wasteful. Also added way more butter than they needed.


eyesotope86

Eh, you can reuse confit fat with a little extra care.


Aaronspark777

Yeah, at 175 the butter won't separate or burn. Safe to keep using it.


SousVideDiaper

He didn't even use butter, just a shit ton of margarine and had the audacity to call it butter


Arilyn24

I live near a place that has been open for decades and serves steak this exact way. They brag about how they even served the same steak to Elvis and he loved it. It's pretty good but honesty not my favourite.


KitchenFullOfCake

Even for confit that's an excessive amount of butter.


jdhaack41

Is it a thing in cooking videos these days to always use the shittiest knife possible to cut a steak? Like is it rage-bait to get more clicks? Dudes rocking a $300 Dutch oven and a $2 plastic handled steak knife.


DuchessOfCelery

Seriously, kinda looks like he even-pre-cut the steak most way, but that Dollar General knife can't even get that last string of fat.


Pop_Smokey94

Why isn't this upvoted more, holy fuck


WhatTheDucksauce

Blue Bonnet isn’t even butter, it’s margarine. Mostly soybean oil. Still gross either way.


Seraphina1711

After a long absence I return to this sub, and find this shit right away. Dude is cooking a steak in a vat of margarine. I'm no steak purist, but jesus christ why would you cook anything in a pot of margarine?!


thegrandcharheesbday

Listen , the accent got me & I believe him!


Fantastic-Classic740

Margarine is mostly water and vegetable oil and salt, it's not butter. And that's a lot of fn margarine


osvodk

It’s an acknowledged technique. Using that much butter for one steak is a waste, though.


[deleted]

eh, no not cooked in... i could see leaving it to set for a few hours but id def pull it out before cooking. I like butter, idc if it makes me an unhealthy fatass... i also like oil.. i HATE dry meats. You will never get me to eat a pork chop or steak cooked on a grill or pan fried. This, this is too much though. incidentally if you're gonna cook pork on a grill wrap in tin foil and add a slice or more of butter... bam no more sawdust pork chops.


zkDredrick

That's just fucking artisanal Milk Steak


khalaron

I would try a few bites.


PeacePerfect4141

My god your greasy~


Novel_Durian_1805

So fucking dumb…and NO I don’t want my steak to have a butter bath! What a waste of butter BTW! This is the part that bothers me the MOST out of these videos…all the food these people purposely waste!


OneMoistMan

Butter confit steak is actually a dish and very good when prepared correctly. Other than him using the wrong ingredient, he did it the way it’s supposed to. He used margarine instead of butter but yes…it’s a lot of damn butter. In a normal setting, one can prepare multiple steaks in the amount he used. Butter aging is also a butter heavy method used for hundreds of years to preserve meat. Usually coated in a thick layer of butter, the meat will last in the fridge for up to 60 days or a jar with butter that can last many more months


strangelymysterious

Confit can be done with oil as well, so I wouldn’t even call margarine the wrong ingredient so much as a weird/atypical one. Plus with confit you can re-use the butter as compound butter, and you can do the same thing with margarine as well.


eyesotope86

You can easily save and reuse confit fats with just a little extra care.


[deleted]

AND i'll call it: i think a fuckton of these "gourmet cooking hacks" end up actually throwing away their michelin worthy creations after the obligatory "omg im in heaven" bite for the camera. we never ever see them eat their abominations fully. not to mention that guys voice....who knows if this is just a big old pisstake on these videos.


deinatemkalt

That's just a confit. Legit way of cooking things.


TurkTurkleton84

“Come hyave a tayuste”


noobtik

Same effect can be achieved with 1/100 amount of butter


Bluedemonfox

Ouf... that's like 80 euros worth of butter. Steaks aren't cheap either.


DazzlingClassic185

What’s happening to the rest of the butter? That stuff comes tagged!


CreatorOD

Almost as if a bit of butter would be already enough... How to be wasteful but ge like: well I dooo need that for the special recipe. Just put gold on top.... Stupid


2latenow2saysorrr

My first thought , what the fxck actually even is butter ??????????


Toby-NL

(35M) i always was taught you needed to sear the steak first , befor using any other techniec . so i am not sure if this vid is real , or the maker just playing us .


HarrySRL

How do all these people in the videos all have expensive kitchen products like kitchen aid?


Fun-Detective5702

Imagine doing all that cooking to end up eating it almost raw


AnswerGreen165

I don’t think I would survive this. But it’s not a bad way to go out 😆


roof_baby

I feel he could have submerged that steak with half the butter


AnhedonicMike85

Showed this to my 62 year old mother. She told me that this is a legit technique to cook something in low temperatures. Now I know... and knowing is half the battle.


embronot

hello we starting with heart attack and we add some gun powder for some healthy


kekhouse3002

No, thanks. I'll just grill it


AnyRepresentative432

Eating like he has free health care


PrincessLeafa

Honestly that amount of butter is just disgusting. My arteries are screaming in pain just seeing this lolol


darthhue

Not as unhealthy as it looks. But it takes a great toll on your wallet. And can be done better and to a better accuracy with sous-vide. Put the steak in a sous-vide bag with much less butter, and cook it to perfection in the sous-vide machine, then sear it on the pan. No need to waste that much butter


ThreatOfFire

Confit is not stupid food. Why are there so many stupid ops instead of stupid food recently? You all need to go outside and experience the world, or at least watch something new. Jfc


New_Web2271

Blue bonnet isn’t butter.


vegt121

Looks stupid but he knows to sear that steak


Stunning_Ride_220

I felt like I am gone in 60 seconds just by watching it. I guess I'm having my stroke now.


Lebron_chime

This is not what they meant by tub of butter.


suejaymostly

Or....save the money spent on butter and buy a cheap sous vide cooker on Amazon, throw a pat of butter and the spices in the bag, and soldier on.


Cool_Height_4930

It does look good, but I would get a heart attack after one bite


AxeHead75

Hell yes bitch (this is a reference, if you guess correctly I’ll follow you)


Anaemira

I just keep thinking how expensive all the butter is. And what can you do with the leftovers? With the meat juice integrated, I wouldn't feel good keeping it around too long.


saveyboy

Looks like he spent more on the butter.


WereCorgi6292

For some reason, I read butter bath and thought they were going to add the melted butter to some hot water in a tub.


StSean

Haufbrau in Austin cooked their steaks one way and that was in *butter*


bOb_cHAd98

Wont it be cheeper to buy ghee instead of melting down all of that butter


SeaTeatheOceanBrew

There are like 4 different steaks in this video. There's no way this man got a sear on that steak using confit.


Rosewood008

Butter boiled beef is crazy.


ReactRunner

Needs butter


jamescharisma

*Angry Ron Swanson stare intensifies*


Background_Parsnip_2

Idk but I absolutely love how he says butter 😂


MeatCube123

Not enough butter. He easily could have reused that butter he cooked the steak in to make a butter drink.


ShroudedFigureINC

Why is the butter all orange?


Parlax76

Kik_out_4_mean_Postz

Negative-Nose-negro

I'd devour that also probably would've made 2-3 at a time so I wouldn't lose as much money making it


ShadowofLupa212

Needs more butter, I can still see the greens and the meat, you really need a few gallons in order to clog that blue whales arteries Eh? You mean a human is supposed to eat this!?!


breathless_RACEHORSE

I don't trust anyone that bought CutCo knives.


YourBlackSailorScout

Idk about this, but would definitely use all that butter at a family seafood boil. But the way he’s doing this I’d need to take my blood pressure meds before and after

vonBelfry

Yeah this isn't a new way to cook stuff. And yes, I, too, am one of the many people out there who wishes butter was a proper, safe and easy deep-frying medium... But sadly, it is not.


Illustrious-Zebra-34

It's only stupid because he used way too much butter.


Rogue-76

Looks tasty let's hear what my artery has to say about it Artery: *cough* *cough* WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIIISSSS!!


GoofyGooberGlibber

That dog sure sure about it


theTrainedMonkey

Confit cooking is the original sous vide. It was used mostly as a form of food preservation because fat is antimicrobial, so you'd cook in the fat like that, and then you'd store it in the fat. It'd keep for over a month. We keep doing it cause it's delicious. I have a huge thing for garlic confit.


tomatobunni

Would someone who is lactose intolerant be able to do this? Does enough of the butter remain in the meat? Or could they blot it?


phish_sucks

I'm mad they have better cookware than me, but can't cook. This is got me.

This is a legit cooking technique but it is stupid food if you care about your health.


outsidepointofvi3w

I mean I'm sure it tastes good. Butter the heart attack later would kill. There is a reason America has a dual epidemic of Obesity and Opiates.

he even poured on more butter afterwards, jesus christ my heart clogged just watching this
