. You heard me on the

microwave

in the past. Cooking a steak in the microwave would be a tough gamble, it just wasn't very edible. You know, because of the way the microwave works by channeling heat. directly to the molecules and moves them up by moving them very quickly, heating them up, but with our panel and the people we have talked to we found a way and a procedure if you follow the step by step to make a perfect steak in the microwave, we are very excited, let's get started and this method, although extremely complex, if you follow it step by step, you will find yourself with an amazing steak cooked just the way you like it, so the first thing we will do is Let's buy our steak from Chicago Steak Company.

It will come in your cooler. You will take out the steak. Put it in the freezer. Make sure you don't touch the dry ice. Just let it evaporate somewhere else. You know what to put in when you're ready to cook the steak, you should put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours so it defrosts properly and then once thawed, leave it out for half an hour so the meat can bloom. So what we're going to do is cut this and let this meat bloom for about 30 minutes. Oh man, awesome, you know it's so important when you're microwaving a steak. a very high quality cut of beef and that's why we're using this flamenco from Chicago Steak Company and this is the top 2% of beef in the US it's USDA wet aged oh just a beautiful steak with incredible marbling, you know, it's like I said, it's really important.

To use a great cut of steak, I mean, no matter how you cook it, it's going to taste amazing, so let's let it flourish. The reason we let it bloom is so the inside of the steak comes to room temperature, so when you cook it. medium rare, the inside is not cold, it is still very good, so like I said, follow me step by step in this process and you will have an amazing steak in the microwave, so towel dry your Flaming Yang or any steak that decide to use, so with a towel. dry this bad boy now you can actually follow these steps after towel drying it you need to use Chicago steak seasoning and you also need to season the steaks 5 minutes before microwaving them so let's do it right so here's a couple further. complex steps, okay, now what our scientists have said again is that they found a way to do it so that when you microwave, there's a certain way you have to do it, so if you want it half-cooked, you have to do it. do it like this if you want it well done you have to do it like this we are going to make a medium-rare loaf today we are going to make other videos on how to cook it well done or at different degrees of temperature but this is what you need, okay, to do this you need a square plate , it has to be white, it can't have any dye, okay, it has to be a white square plate, you can buy it anywhere and then a round plate, okay, now this.

The round plate can't be any color you want, just make sure it's round, it goes on top of the square plate. Okay, I don't want to get into too many scientific discussions about what's going on, but the heat is on the inside. coming in and rotating around the plate and it's creating this amazing little circular motion of heat that really just cooks the steak on it and allows it to work well. Once it's there, this will give us a medium rare steak that we're going to prepare. put it in the microwave watch this, this is where it gets a little weird, you have to put it in for 45 seconds, okay, take it out for 10 seconds, put it back in for 3 minutes, take it out, flip the steak, put it in for 15 seconds, OK?

I'll write all this down here so you can see it once you take it out for 15, leave it out for 35 seconds, put it back in for 3 and a half minutes. Okay, at that point your steak should be perfectly medium rare, now another one. trick, um, that I think was one of our NASA scientists, he's like he did all the food science there at NASA for the astronauts, he said what you have to do is get this little cup from here , it's about I don't know what it's about. about a cup, a little more than a cup of water, fill it halfway, okay, put this in the microwave with the steak, this allows the juices to stay in the sake and the microwave likes to steal the moisture out of things , so he will steal. instead it's a little trick, I know, it's hard to believe, but these are scientists, no, no, no, I don't argue with science, so let's try it, we're about to put it. this in the microwave the spice has been on for about 5 minutes make sure you have a pair of tongs because you never want to pierce the steak when it's cooked and you know the international rule of tongs is when you get them double click on them , make sure they work, that's very important when you have tongs, okay, so we're going to put them in the microwave, we're going to do all that.

I'm going to speed up the process so you don't have to get bored watching me drink. wait 10 seconds, but I'll give you the instructions on how to do it correctly and the intervals and stuff, and if you follow these steps, you know it's going to be amazing and people are going to love it. Like, who did you cook this on a grill? or like Hey, how did you cook this? If there is no barbecue or stove in your house, you are going to say that I cooked it in the microwave. You know, if you're in a hotel room and not.

You don't have a stove and you really want a steak and you don't want to pay. You know hotel prices are crazy. As you know, 100 dollars for a steak. Take your steak. Take him to a hotel room. Do it there. People say who did you do. this in a hotel and you're going to say yeah I did it so let's get started so now we just wait the first 45 seconds and then when it plays we're going to oh there it is we're going to go. remember to open it for 10 seconds let it sit and put it back in for three you know how we do it I can smell it now just oh it's almost ready it's in the last interval in the microwave it smells amazing without oh there it is come on take it out and see what it looks like, oh man, so obviously rule number one is when the steak is done, place it on a cooling rack or something for 5 to 10 minutes, let the juices reabsorb, no matter how you cook a steak. okay, if you're grilling it, fry it, you know, put it in the microwave, if you leave it in the sun for 2 days, whatever you do when the steak is done, let it rest, that's just one of the rules most important fundamentals of good steak so let's let this rest come back we'll cut it up take a piece and then we'll see how it's oh amazing this juicy just the juice is coming out of this bad boy just glorious steak oh medium rare a little a little bit more on the medium rare side, but that's my favorite, anyway, it's my favorite, if you look at that, there you go, that's how to cook a steak in the microwave to

perfection
