“Well-done, please.” A well-done steak can lead to a dry, overcooked piece of meat. Opting for medium or medium-rare gives a better texture and flavor.
“Can you add ketchup?” Ketchup overwhelms the natural flavors of a good steak. Let the meat shine on its own and consider asking for a more appropriate sauce if needed.
“Can I get it with no fat?” Fat adds flavor and juiciness to the steak. Requesting no fat might result in a less flavorful, drier cut of meat.
“I want the biggest steak on the menu.” Choosing the largest steak isn’t always the best. Focus on quality and your personal preference for tenderness rather than just size.
“Just throw it on the grill.” Steak requires more than just grilling. It should be seasoned and cooked carefully to bring out its best flavor and texture.
– “Can you cook it frozen?” Frozen steaks should be thawed properly to ensure an even cook. Ordering a steak while it's still frozen can result in uneven cooking.
– “I’ll have it without seasoning.” Steak benefits from simple seasoning like salt and pepper. Without seasoning, you miss out on the enhancement of its natural flavor.
