A and B.

I can’t decide...is this ruining the steak? Seems like a lot of process just for show, how much of it actually accentuates flavor, taste, texture, juiciness?

c & c hands down

I'm hooked on the method below (I add some rosemary to the butter baste too):



those are the best potatoes I've ever had

PS..if you try this, buy a mandoline and use real horseradish root and make your own horseradish sauce from this, its night and day from horseradish in a jar

I just bought ghee to see what the rage is all about. Supposedly, better than regular butter for steak.

I also recommend making brown butter too, its easy to make. I take a couple of pounds of butter and make a batch so I always have it on hand. It makes your cookies even better, you can use it standalone as a sauce for vegetables, pasta, shrimp and its really good to cook scallops with.

I wouldn't use it for basting my steak though, the butter and herbs provide enough flavor

And, how does one go about making this brown butter you speak of?

Its super easy, the biggest requirement is patience, here's a quick video:


You make this dangerously fast brown butter crumble with peaches or strawberries or whatever your favorite fruit is with whipped cream (whip in some amaretto for extra flavor):

We have a butcher on campus here at TTU called Red Raider Meats and they always have Tomahawks. I haven't bought any yet but I might next time I'm in there. I end up spending about $300 every time I go in that place.

Replace the Bud with Miller and you don't need much more than that.

Sounds awesome. I bet they get some good beef in that region of the country
