Transcript excerpt

Cooked a steak the other day in a video, and I've had hundreds of comments telling me it was rank, so I'm gonna try to cook a well done steak. Nothing but salt on it, five minutes a side. Alright. Five minutes on the other side. I like cooking these well done steaks because I have so much free time. Like, I'm I'm about to go watch a short film. I can do my laundry. I got time for activities now. Alright. Thirty seconds on each side now. I made a comment in the last video where I was like, if you like your steak well done, you're a child. You know, very lighthearted, very joking. I had people in the comments respond to that like, who you calling a child, bitch? I'm a grown fucking man. I didn't know people tier gonna get that mad about that. Garlic in the rank, butter in the rank, gonna baste for like a minute. No I'm gonna baste the steak for like one minute, maybe forty five seconds. Alright. Steaks coming off. Gonna let it rest for ten minutes. Pepper and the steak afterwards. Someone said to try that, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I can't remember the last time I had a well done steak. I'm gonna try it off camera. This isn't a mukbang. There's still a little bit of pink. How
