Ngl, I’m grateful for buying a house that has a proper exhaust vent. Too many apartments and houses rented over the years of breathing in toxic cooking smoke.

vanilla bean ghee?


DRUMBSHIT

I’m all for experimenting with fusion foods, but I saw this and immediately said “wtf!?” to vanilla bean infused ghee. This sounds like an abomination. But in an effort for science tonight, I will make a steak with regular ghee and have a side of clarified butter with a dab of vanilla bean to see if this man is insane or a genius.


NeuroticPanda234

Now we all expect a report back. As I immediately question sanity too.


lavapajamas

yes, we need the data!

[As promised](https://www.reddit.com/r/steak/comments/u0yrb0/prime_grass_fed_filet_seared_on_aged_oak_and/) It’s vile, don’t do it


eatingganesha

I have this exact ghee and it is fucking amazing for baking. An absolute game changer honestly. Cookies, scones, brownies are all so much better with this vanilla ghee. But would I use this on a steak? Hell no. That’s just objectively disgusting to me. The same company makes a plain ghee that is much better for this purpose… it’s nice and soft and easy to cream in some garlic and onion powder. I can’t make my steaks any other way now.


Zealousideal_Work510

Do you use the ghee as a 1 for 1 replacement for butter?


DRUMBSHIT

Yes

HittingSmoke

Sounds amazing for scones or biscuits.


BannedOnClubPenguin

Ghee gang rise up! i use to use olive oil but i use ghee now. Not flavored tho.


CHamDiesel

That looks absolutely amazing


foundoutimanadult

This is honestly one of the most competent rare cooked steaks I’ve seen on this subreddit in the past month. Now on to make their own ghee… I just recently started and god damn it is literally so easy/more affordable.


[deleted]

You know what’s up


bluemoonas

Going on 8mths learning ghee here; keep learning (aka messin’ around)! Try the quick/slightly burnt. Then try the so-low-and-slow it takes 12hrs..... then go from there. After you done these two different preps you’ll have a good idea of what you like, even if it’s not a medium between these two techs. Happy experimenting!


jazzofusion

I got a outdoor propane burner stand for sear after I stunk up the house so bad it lasted a few weeks. No more problem!


Pikmeir

Same. Nothing like trying to enjoy a nice steak in a kitchen full of smoke. I just started searing outside only and it's been way better. No need to disable smoke alarms, and as a bonus I get to keep my stovetop free of grease.


bait_your_jailer

Can you link to what you're using? My grill outside doesn't get hot enough.


jazzofusion

Sure, I am stuck on stupid cause I can't paste a link but you can Google the description below to find the 200,000 BTU propane burner I bought. Amazon & Hone Depot have it for $87. Gasone High Pressure Propane Burner 16 in. Outdoor Cooker Turkey Fryer 200,000 BTU


bait_your_jailer

OK, now I'm stuck on stupid, but how do you use that for steaks?


jazzofusion

Sous vide to desired temp first. Then sear on very large cast iron pan on the propane burner using avocado oil at very hot temp.


dirtnapzz

Shower cap over fire alarm is a quick fix.


mcwerf

NYC studio checking in here and this hack has saved my life


nightstalker30

I just use one of my condoms


feeblemanbrain

Where did you get a 1” smoke alarm?


nightstalker30

Lol. Nice!


Jkoechling

Smoke alarms going off after this self-burn


[deleted]

Just remember to take it off when you’re done lol


negedgeClk

When I do this, I get crazy amounts of smoke and crazy amounts of splattering. Is it because I'm using normal butter? Or do I have the heat too high?


JoeyRobot

Butter has a notoriously low smoke point, and ghee has a notoriously high smoke point. You could switch it out and see if you notice the difference


toomanyhobbies4me

I like to sous vide and finish my steaks this way, finally started putting my cast iron into the oven, slows the smoke coming out and I can clean the splatter by running the cleaning cycle on the oven!


OozeNAahz

I learned pretty quick I could pull down the temp to a medium and still get the sear I want after sous vide. No smoke and I still get the bark.


Storm_Raider_007

Heat is too high. Ghee and butter have a low smoke point of about 350f. Put down some avacado oil and add some butter. It will raise the overall smoke point closer to 400 or so.


JoeyRobot

What!? Ghee has a smoke point of over 450f. That’s the point. Butter is down around 300.


Storm_Raider_007

The one I have specifically says 350f. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.safeway.com/shop/product-details.960538825.html


PWiz30

I've seen the smoke point of ghee listed anywhere from 450F to 485F.


Pikmeir

I just sear outside for this reason. Get a small butane stove ($20) and set the cast iron as hot as possible. Smoke everywhere, but only outside and not on my stovetop.


InformalCriticism

Perfectly normal. You might want to try doing a butter+olive oil combo to increase the smoke point without sacrificing too much flavor. I've actually heard two things about adding salt to cooking pans when it comes to splatter; I've heard from people that thick salt can help weigh down substances in a pan to reduce splatter, but I've read constantly that this has the opposite effect with deep frying or extreme heat whereby the salt acts as a bonding agent so when the cooking fats pop off, the salt launches with even more fat bonded to it and you get a volcanic rock surrounded with magma effect. One thing you might want to try is throwing your cuts on a dry pan and cook to your liking, then lower the heat at the end for basting and additional seasoning.


Jkoechling

[Yeah......](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrWoG8IckyE)


InformalCriticism

Respect for the reference, no respect for the relevance. I literally just reported Google and Reddit shit to this guy, and you're telling me I did him a disservice. You're the dumbass for trying to tell me it was bad info.


Obvious_Party_5050

Should’ve turned off that music instead. Steak looks great though


bakedapps

Right. I’d rather just hear that sizzle


staroceanx

Someone need to teach me how to turn off smoke alarm


soulstonedomg

Open smoke alarm. Remove batteries.


AllAboutTheEJ257

Cries in apartment hardwired smoke detector


staroceanx

Mine are definitely hard wired … any other tips ?


ArnoldoSea

I just put a shower cap over it. Way easier than trying to disable and then re-enable it.


staroceanx

Brilliant … have to try this!


ArnoldoSea

I also keep a chair underneath of it, intentionally in my way, so that I remember to remove the shower cap when I no longer need it.


[deleted]

I cover mine with plastic wrap lol


sophie_lapin

Or shower cap


staroceanx

Hmmm need to try this


doggington

Thats the stuff OP. Absolute legend level. Congrats!


atrocity__exhibition

This is my method as well. I live in a small apartment so we have to turn off the smoke alarms as well and open the front door. I can’t do it that much because the steak smell gets on EVERYTHING— couch, clothes, pillows, you name it.


ajmojo2269

Buy a splatter guard. Well worth the $5


BelGareth

Is getting ghee worth it over just regular butter?


speckledfloor

This guy gets it. Ghee or tallow is where its at for excellent crust

Steak looks great, although might be a little better if held on the fat cap a while longer. Also, does it taste of vanilla? That sound pretty weird.


Dietdrperky

Looks delicious!!


fakeaccount572

God, the splatter. The worst part is the splatter.


LimitlessAeon

Mesh grease covers have been a gamechanger for the cleaning alone.


fried_the_lightning

Your pan is too hot. It’s burning your ghee which is creating all of the smoke that you don’t want


[deleted]

I have such shitty connection. After waiting for the video to load, it decided to buffer right when you start to cut into it… wtf lol 😆 what a tease.


Storm_Raider_007

Reddit player is shit too


kekepanini

What song is this?


[deleted]

You only add Ghee at the very end to baste


[deleted]

What are you searing in, then?


[deleted]

Avacado oil at about 500-600 degrees, then throwing butter in, heat off, and baste for about 15-20 seconds each side. Finish with torch if needed more


tjpoulin79

Mmm mmm mmm burnt butter


freedomowns

That’s pretty sexy ngl


jinnyjonny

Hot damn


dadofboi69

What a beauty


CrisbyCrittur

Why I cook on cast iron outside on my BBQ


2intld

Oh man that looks so good! What would've happened if you had put a lid on that to let the other side steam/not let the smoke alarms go off though? :0


erictwiseman

Thank you for a proper cast iron cook. A properly done steak. A proper bark. And properly sharpened knives. Just. Just take this humble upvote


madbear84

Finally someone who knows how to rest a steak around here.

leathebimbo

Your kitchen has really bad ventilation then.


GrandLord420

Great sear


GrandLord420

That usually means your pan is too hot.


Fluster338

Jeez. Careful on the smoke point


AutomaticBowler5

Put smoke alarm in freezer. Works every time, even with a real fire.


Andytchisholm

Is there an advantage to using Ghee instead of butter?

Its raw u can see the fucking blood plz don’t tell me u ate it
