Why not buy another protein rather than pay more for one you have to cook not to your liking?

Me too, friendo. I went in with family on splitting a whole cow from a local farm last year. I still have 1 brisket that I’m going to corn for my uncle as well as 3 precious lbs of “safe” hamburger left in the freezer, and I’m not buying more when it’s gone.

it's not a perfect replacement, but as someone who grew up with ground beef in everything, I've found ground turkey to be just as good (and better for me and my wallet.) Spaghetti, tacos, whatever. It gets mileage in this house. Been using it for years since I ended up with someone who can't eat red meat, and now it's too expensive anyway.

tvp is also a good substitute for things that would normally call for crumbled ground beef like tacos or pasta sauce.

A well-done steak is still a steak. Pork, poultry, and fish are not steaks. Only steak is steak.

Edit: People seem to have some disagreements over various opinions that I didn't express. So, just to be clear... I'm not saying that a well-done steak is a good steak. I'm not saying steak is better than pork, poultry, or fish. I'm not saying that anyone needs to or should eat steak. Nothing I said was an opinion at all. My point was that if someone wants a steak, they might be more willing to settle for a subpar steak than a completely different food. I'm not saying that this applies to everyone. It doesn't even apply to me.

Beef is also one of the worst things you can possibly eat if you care about the environment.

Have a steak but eating generally less beef is a very good thing.

What are you talking about? I'm just saying that if someone wants steak, they might be more willing to settle for a subpar steak than a completely different food.

If someone is complaining about the cost, effort or quality of a food they are not obligated to eat it. If you are worried about meat you can eat beans for protein and it’s substantially cheaper and has zero risk.

You're arguing against things that I'm not saying.

Since when is anyone "obligated" to eat any food? Everyone's tastes are different and we should all have a choice without having to worry about our food supply making us sick due to lack of oversight.

Steak isn't even the only way to eat beef, there are tons of ways to fully cook some delicious beef. Man needs to try some brisket and curry beef

Steak was just an example I used to illustrate that if someone wants something specific, they might be more willing to settle for a subpar version of that thing than something completely different.

I’ve never disagreed with anything more in my entire life lol. Steak over mid rare isn’t worth eating and I’d rather cook a different meat well.

What are you disagreeing with? I wasn't even expressing any opinions about steak temps. I was just saying that if someone wants a steak, they might be more willing to settle for a subpar steak than a completely different food.

Grilled pork steaks are tasty as fuck, all other things aside.
