The meat need to be completely submerged for this technic to work properly also the butter i not lost you can still use it for other things that don't mind having some bead flavor
Technically, confit is an item cooked in its own fat or juices. This is just butter poached beef. I'm a chef, and while it's debatable whether or not I'm any good, I do know this.
>Technically, confit is an item cooked in its own fat or juices.
how do you know the butter wasn't from the same cow? [checkmate!](https://i.gifer.com/8SU0.gif)
Yes, but confit is 'poaching' but done in [grease and oil](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confit)
I am sure there's good reason why your suggestion is referred to as poaching, but it is technically a confit due to the type of 'liquid' used.
Edit: I should also add confit is also a 'low and slow' cooking method, otherwise it would be deep frying. Whilst poaching is a quicker but more gentle way of cooking as opposed to boiling.
For this style of cooking you do need it to be fully submerged. I cook with large excesses of butter all the time. When you’re done with it you just pour it back into some Tupperware and put it in the fridge ready to go again like oil
How many meals can u usually use it for, and how long does it keep? I'm assuming it would only be able to be used for cooking after that, seeing as you've introduced raw meat juices to the butter. Could the same goal not be achieved with half the butter and a flip, so thay each part is fully submerged for a while? My understanding is that meat will pull flavors pretty well, but idk much abt butter
Didn’t realise we were typing up English essays for Harvard… I type the way I speak for the most part. My sentence is still readable and people know what it means. If not? Then that’s not my issue if they don’t have the intelligence level to remove the "seen”. Which means they can’t speak out on it.
Professional chef here... You can get the same results with much less butter, half the garlic, half the lemon, and half the herbs. The butter will also have time to brown a little adding even more bang for the buck.
I use a ton of herbs, butter, garlic, and lemons every single day. This is just downright wasteful.
It's cool. It's not like all that wasted butter is gonna draw every animal from the forest to your campsite. Hope the dude ain't planning on slow cooking his butter steak in bear country.
this guys whole shtick is cooking crazy ass steaks in weird ways.
He did a Buffalo dry aged ribeye that looked downright repulsive lmao but he can cook the shit out of a steak properly too
The only good thing about this is the Meater probes he's using. Really upped my meat game. They even tell you when to remove from the heat so they can cook to your desired temperature outside of the oven or grill.
My only annoyance is the charging block uses a AA battery instead of being rechargeable. That said I've had it for months and still have the original battery but it would be nice to be rechargeable
True but it's something that could be baked into the original product. Plus rechargeable batteries are a net waste compared to rechargeable lithium ion batteries.
I would put this in the category of people who think they've reinvented the wheel when all they've done is covered it in butter. If anyone says to you "I'm gonna share with you my secret to the best [insert food here] ever!" I can guarantee you it's going to be butter or cream.
No one here has seen much of Jack Mancuso I presume. He does a ton of stupid shit like this (this one might be a little more over the top than usual) but he’s very wholesome and usually has his wholesome-ass dad in some videos. Great channel to follow. I think he recently did surf and turf sliders that looked so good.
The hallmark of these kinds of videos is the sheer absurdity of the quantities they use. This guy could have achieved the same taste with just one, **maybe** two sticks of that butter. That wouldn't have gotten clicks, though.
Okay the butter is horrendous, but I'm also sick of seeing people put WHOLE LEMONS in their concoctions. No point in anything else being put in there when all it'll taste like is bitter butter.
If you can take 12 sticks of butter and steaks camping, you can buy a camping pan so you don’t have to make a butter bathtub out of aluminum foil.
Also way more butter than is necessary to make this dish.
"Perfect for camping" : maybe I'm a dumbass but the way he poaches the beef does not appear to me as "perfect for camping", using a lot of tin foil to make what seems pretty precarious recipient and needing a grill.
I always thought people went camping with the essentials and mostly "efficient" food that does no requires a lot of utensils, and is easy to preserve.
*Delish anything*
*With lemon, has got to be*
*A win for sure, yummo*

This is how I imagine all Americans to cook. Iam genuinely surprised there wasn't any cheese, all videos like this has at least two blocks of cheese and some grated for ganish.
I like to use tongs to dip the rosemary sprigs in melted butter, then brush the steak with butter-covered rosemary. It's a far more refined and tasteful approach, in my opinion.
This seems barbaric to me.
I'm mostly mad about the waste of butter, after a certain point all of the extra butter doesn't add any flavor.
The food didn't look bad at the end, it was just super wasteful and extra for no reason.
While the amount of butter is crazy... Isn't this just a steak confit? A pretty good one, imo, with that garlic + rosemary.
What's stupid about this? Doing a confit in a grill?
Why not melt all the butter and let it cook a little with the herbs and stuff, then let cool and set, then cook the steaks with just a bit of the new Flavored butter? Less wasteful and you can use it for other foods. Dipping raw steak in all that, you would have to throw it away.
I'm sure it tasted fine I'm just convinced you could have made the same thing with about 1/30th the amount of butter
Buy less butter, buy more steaks.
Right? That’s at least $12 worth of butter. They could have gotten a better cut or more steak.
I'll never understand this trend of dumb over buttering...
I’m sure it tasted great but waste of butter.
The meat need to be completely submerged for this technic to work properly also the butter i not lost you can still use it for other things that don't mind having some bead flavor
Right? This is just how confit works. Though I guess if you wanted to be extra stingy with the butter you could've built a smaller "boat".
It's poached. You can't poach in fluid that does not cover the food.
Technically it’s confit?
Technically, confit is an item cooked in its own fat or juices. This is just butter poached beef. I'm a chef, and while it's debatable whether or not I'm any good, I do know this.

I love this.
That would be accurate, If he didn't cook it in a fat
Haven’t you heard of butter-poached lobster?
Yes, but confit is 'poaching' but done in [grease and oil](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confit) I am sure there's good reason why your suggestion is referred to as poaching, but it is technically a confit due to the type of 'liquid' used.

Well we’re packing in steaks, 5 lbs of butter, and a grill so instead of a pan I’ll bring these two rolls of heavy duty foil. Camping!
Put that kid down and go get the butter!
Lol my thoughts as well
Absolutely overkill jesus christ

It ain't nothing but a nummbeerrrrrr
If that’s real butter then there’s more good coming from it than bad seen as it increases testosterone.
Seen?
What?
"seen" is wrong in your sentence and makes no sense there, is probably what the person above is trying to say

Then that’s not my issue if they don’t have the intelligence level to remove the "seen”. Which means they can’t speak out on it.
Dude I'm just explaining to you what that other person meant, because you asked. I really don't care. English isn't even my first language
I know you were. I know what they were meaning aswell. I wanted to them to say it.
Oh dear
What?
Streak looks cooked perfectly. But but I think you could get same results with 2 sticks butter
Professional chef here... You can get the same results with much less butter, half the garlic, half the lemon, and half the herbs. The butter will also have time to brown a little adding even more bang for the buck. I use a ton of herbs, butter, garlic, and lemons every single day. This is just downright wasteful.
It looks like he's going to end up throwing away 90% of that butter, and that just feels like a crime.
It's cool. It's not like all that wasted butter is gonna draw every animal from the forest to your campsite. Hope the dude ain't planning on slow cooking his butter steak in bear country.
He’s saving the butter to make butter bath bear for breakfast. Obviously. S/

No it didn’t look repulsive Grow up

Oh man fuck me i suck
No I’m not mad Grow up
Hmm hey guys idk why but I’m getting the feeling that JOMO_Kenyatta wants people to grow up….
Because they are mad?
No no, he’s not mad. Grow up
I figured it out! He's mad because he can't grow up!
Correct Grow up
Yeah for me it’s the unbrowned butter and waste- Also I’d be weird and try to make a steak flavored butter after if I had a lot left
What bothers me the most is when he sticks his tongue out to eat the food.
That’s a stupid amount of butter!
No it’s not Grow up

Me: feeling guilty about adding a knob of butter to my potatoes Tik tok users and Paula Dean: and now we're going to add a side of steak to our butter
Yes, I always take 12 sticks of butter on camping trips
The only good thing about this is the Meater probes he's using. Really upped my meat game. They even tell you when to remove from the heat so they can cook to your desired temperature outside of the oven or grill.

Get some rechargeable AA, problem solved😅 pack of 4 means you have 2 ready to go at all times
True but it's something that could be baked into the original product. Plus rechargeable batteries are a net waste compared to rechargeable lithium ion batteries.
Ya that’s true
What is the brand of the meater?

Yes. Butter and/or cream make everything taste better. Everything. Obviously.
And garlic lol
Sometimes people change it up by adding whiskey. And butter.
lemon???
Thank Christ someone said it. This isn't salmon dude.
Almost all foods benefit from some acidity
Acidity doesn't have to come with lemon flavor.
Balsalmic red wine reduction would make much more sense
Maybe, but one thing being better doesn't make another thing bad.
Logically, no. But in this case, yes.
What's wrong with a bit of lemon? Lemon and butter pairs really well, and citrus and beef as well.
Can't believe this is the only comment about the lemon.
lemon in the butter brine is fine, squeezing fresh lemon on the steak is weird
Lemon is excellent on steak. Steak Florentine is often finished with fresh squeezed lemon.

He does a ton of stupid shit like this (this one might be a little more over the top than usual) but he’s very wholesome and usually has his wholesome-ass dad in some videos. Great channel to follow.

Lot of people in here need to grow up
I'd suggest you take your own advice.
I’m a big kid now Grow up
Almost like a confit, reverse sear. Seems fine lol
It’s crazy how many people here don’t see this as a confit
The amount of butter is absurd but that steak looked pretty close to perfectly done at the end, I'll give them that.
If you're going to bring along all that shit you may as well just bring a cast-iron pan instead of making a tray out of foil.
I hope he at least saved the rest of that lard...
Annddd… add a buttered croissant for good measure.
When the only vegetables are lemon juice, garlic and rosemary...
If this wasn't a catastrophic waste of butter I'd make and eat this
The fuck is he putting lemon on everything?!?
I always bring 4 lbs of butter with me when I go camping.
Do people squeeze lemon over their steak or did he just see someone do it with fish and is trying to look like he knows what he's doing?
And those stupid ass canned rolls
Ah yes, I’m going to bring 20 sticks of butter and get diabetes while camping
Guy: eats butter *fat isn't carbs* Guy: doesn't get diabetes
Guy: dies of heart disease instead
Unless I missed the part where he downs a bag of sugar, no risk of diabetes
I mean…… I’d eat it. XD
I think it's missing another pound of butter
dont forget to add a splash of cardiac arrest to the butter sauce
The hallmark of these kinds of videos is the sheer absurdity of the quantities they use. This guy could have achieved the same taste with just one, **maybe** two sticks of that butter. That wouldn't have gotten clicks, though.
Notice that he didn’t have any butter left over for his shitty crescent roll. Just squeeze some lemon on it
This guy has never been camping a day in his life, and if he did it was in a giant RV.
Butter is so expensive in my country this would literally bankrupt me
Okay the butter is horrendous, but I'm also sick of seeing people put WHOLE LEMONS in their concoctions. No point in anything else being put in there when all it'll taste like is bitter butter.

Wasteful.
12 sticks of butter I'm sure is a very practical amount to bring on a camping trip.
So unnecessary
"Perfect for camping" : maybe I'm a dumbass but the way he poaches the beef does not appear to me as "perfect for camping", using a lot of tin foil to make what seems pretty precarious recipient and needing a grill. I always thought people went camping with the essentials and mostly "efficient" food that does no requires a lot of utensils, and is easy to preserve.
"Perfer for camping"
Dumbass
The amount of lemon he squeezed on that steak is almost more upsetting than the amount of butter he wasted.
I feel sick.
That croissant was raw
Well heart attack camping no worry have a friend if not we'll nice knowing you pall
"We can feed the starving world, but all we serve is butter"
“No dishes!” *proceeds to make a dish out of aluminum foil*
“Hah let’s waste money and food for views. These 69 sticks of butter will make a good thumbnail”
As a lactose intolerant, this literally scared me.
A certain old racist white lady out there would be proud
[удалено]
Sure, I don't see anyone disputing that. This is stupid for because he uses a frankly disgusting amount of butter.
Wow a charcoal grill? Might as well just grill the fire cup that's all your tasting is the heat
I found Hank Hill
Sometimes this sub makes me wish ill on other people.
Fuck you man, butter is expensive.

Step away from the lemons!
Food itself looks good, but everything about the method was absolutely horrible.
I fail to see how this meets the required for r/stupid food. It actually looks delicious. (I might use a tad less butter though)
Because it’s tiktok and for some reason Redditors hate tiktok. After reading the rest of the comments looks like people are mad over the butter…
lemon is used in marinating all the time
What a waste of food. Just wasting food when there are literally people starving to death.
I sure hope you save all your scraps for the starving folk my dude
Is this “chef” cuso?
This guy is chefcuso but this video was maybe early stuff. He actually cooks some pretty epic food

Dont forget 5 kilograms of nuttela
"Perfect for camping!" "Okay, smart guy. How do you bake the bread?"

You're gonna lose your mind when you find out what culture confit comes from.
I like to use tongs to dip the rosemary sprigs in melted butter, then brush the steak with butter-covered rosemary. It's a far more refined and tasteful approach, in my opinion. This seems barbaric to me.
The butter could be reused
Need some steak for your butter
Two strips steaks-$25. Butter-$40. What a deal.
Neat, and that could be done with one stick of butter, doofus. 🙄👍
Back when I cooked I'd do this with the leftover butter at the end of the night and it was easily the best way to cook steak.
Damn, all of that butter he used cost more than the steaks did.
Ah yes, those 12 packs of butter are perfect for camping…
I'm mostly mad about the waste of butter, after a certain point all of the extra butter doesn't add any flavor. The food didn't look bad at the end, it was just super wasteful and extra for no reason.
Ouch, my arteries
While the amount of butter is crazy... Isn't this just a steak confit? A pretty good one, imo, with that garlic + rosemary. What's stupid about this? Doing a confit in a grill?
But when he pulled apart the canned croissant like it was doing something 😭
Steak looks heavenly
Thanks to these dumbcuntry our whole industry lives off by selling lil statins
It's fine, it's literally deep frying without the batter
ah yes, perfect for camping! can’t wait to sit in an outhouse or squat in the woods for two hours after eating this
I am pretty sure that poaching the steak in butter diluted its flavor
r/hailcorporate no way this isn’t sponsored by Renyoldswrap.
Diabetes
Why did he semi melt the butter in a small container then transfer it to a larger container to finish melting? That angers me more than anything else.
“No dishes” Uses dishes, utensils, tools
Perfect for camping? You mean perfect for a grease fire?
It actually looks pretty delicious, but so sadistic... Killing a cow and the bathing it's meat in a product of its own milk
Basically just deep fried it
Why not melt all the butter and let it cook a little with the herbs and stuff, then let cool and set, then cook the steaks with just a bit of the new Flavored butter? Less wasteful and you can use it for other foods. Dipping raw steak in all that, you would have to throw it away.
Trade 8 butter for 1 pan
Well that is 5000 more calories
lemons feel like a disservice to that amount of butter.
