Grass fed. Cast Iron cooked. Coffee and pepper based rub. Cut up pickles and kimchee as a side.

Steak is the greatest food ever.

I dont appreciate you cumming onto the misc and mogging me like this, how rude.

I could eat steak everyday! Looks amazing!

Why bother with the pickles and kimchee?

Very nice steak, breh - and good choice of sides too. Helps cut the fat, a bit of acidity/spice.

You make your own kimchee? We do.

probably the best home cooked posted yet on the misc, not perfect but best yet

dam that looks good. Love the sides too. I like strong flavors

I have to mog the resident misc mogger himself once and while. Right?Same. I pretty much do at this point haha. And thanks!For gut health/probiotics. I also have bone broth with coconut oil. It's been a game changer with digestion for me and I now have zero digestive issues coming from having H. Pylori issues 2 years ago.

problem is i'd need to eat 5 of those to even start to feel full. That's a snack not a meal

Nice slab of meat, OP. (No homo)

Exactly. It's the perfect balance. Plus the benefits of it. I used to dislike kimchee but now I absolutely love it.

I have made my own before but this is just the Cleveland Kitchen brand kimchee from the store I have been trying. It's pretty legit.Thanks brah. Next time I go to the butcher and get a thicker cut of ribeye and cook it, I'll post it and I know you'll love it because I cook it exactly how you like it. Can't do that with thinner cuts like this.Yea I've become a strong flavor guy. Kimchee, sauerkraut, pickles and more acidic foods have become staples with me.

I eat this as my staple dinner pretty much with varying sides (sometimes eggs added). However I purposely eat this smaller meal and bone broth w/coconut oil because it is the perfect amount of food where i feel satisfied. I'm not full or bloated, and I am not hungry. I always eat again around 8 like leftover bison patties with a little sweet potato or a cooked apple with some beef jerkey or something.Thanks brah. Glad you guys like my meat. no homo.

Stupid bitch, now I'm super hungryMore insight into how you tweaked your gut health, sounds very interesting

Sorry brah. It tasted amazing though so I figured I'd share it.

As for the gut health it was pretty simple once I figured it out. Just takes a while.

I did keto for 2 months as a sort of reset. After I took care of the H. Pylori (naturally by myself) I didn't take care of the other issues I had which were low stomach acid and recurring candida on my tongue/back of throat because of it.

So on keto I just did tons of red of meat, bone broth with coconut oii/mct oil which really took care of the candida issue over time, and I would eat things like eggs, sweet potatoes here and there just for a little bit of carbs, and then random vegetables like peppers, squash, radish, green beans, and others cooked in different ways. Cut out caffeine and sugar for those two months. Only drank water and Zevia (stevia based drinks). Snacks would be like beef jerky, homemade eggs bites, etc.

Now that I am on a normal balanced diet though I tweaked things and figured out these are the main things that really changed my gut health and digestion that anyone should incorporate into their diet. You'll notice benefits over time and be shocked. srs.

-Beef/Chicken Bone broth with coconut or mct oil. Actual organic bone broth is expensive af but it is insane how much it helps gut health. srs
-Fermented foods. Kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles, etc. These are probiotics and help your gut health a lot because the acidity level is closer to what you gut is
-Raw apple cider vinegar diluted in water for the same reasons above. Literally a game changer
-Eating mainly red meat and eggs for protein sources
-Cutting out majority or just minimizing consumption of pasteurized dairy
-Minimizing sugar intake
-DO NOT drink a lot of liquid with meals. This is a big reason I had low stomach acid because of poor eating habits. When you have low stomach acid you end up getting acid relfux/heartburn because you don't have enough acid to efficiently digest and breakdown the food. Then is just sits there and causes a host of issues like acid coming back up and bloating.
-Chew your food thoroughly before swallowing
-Stay away from all "alkaline" products/water, acid reducers, and tums. It has the exact opposite effect you want

Basically the main thing to note is that your stomach has a very acid pH. The medical industry is bought out by the pharmaceutical industry and for some reason tells people that all your gut issues are caused by too much acid and to prescribe acid reducers and things like tums. It's literally the exact opposite and is well known at this point. Stomach acid is good. Acidic foods are good and help your stomach keep unwanted bacteria at bay.

Fooking long winded answer but hope something in there will help you.

Motivated me to get a ribeye for tonight

Looks amazing

the vast majority of gut issues i see in a typical american is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO.

Usually having to do with low gut motility and fermenting foods in the gut that feed bad bacteria forming a gut dysbiosis.

Motherfuker that looks delicious! Good sear, nice middle and I bet very tender. Cast iron is the best option for a great sear on a steak.

Do you make your own bone broth? I have been lately, so easy to do and I drink a cup almost daily. I have been using oxtail and pigs feet.

Never heard of using coffee grounds to season a steak; I've always stuck with salt + fresh ground black pepper. Sounds interdasting; maybe should try...

Looks delicious.

Aware me on coffee rub, I’m skeptical

Looks absolutely great brah, curious on the coffee rub... Sounds like an interesting concept

Thanks brah. Yea dude I highly recommend you do haha. Not much better than a ribeyeI agree actually. I had it as well. I was FUKKED UP. had a duodenal ulcer and stomach ulcer forming. Was doing daily ileocecal valve massages to help motility. H. Pylori going unchecked is brutal.

However it is pretty amazing how once you take care of the main issue, just basic dietary changes and maintaining a good diet structure takes care of most issues.Thanks brah. Yea cast iron gives the best sear imo. It's even better with a thicker cut.

I've done my own chicken stock and broth, but have gotten lazy and have just been buying a bunch of the Kettle and Fire brand bone broths whenever I see a sale. Expensive af but it's worth it for now.

Do you just go to the butcher and get this stuff? I used to save all the whole chicken carcasses and use those a lot.I saw a video from a butcher that used a coffee based rub on picanha steak cuts and said it works perfect for a fattier cut of meat. I just bought this stuff on amazon as a blind buy to try it on a ribeye and it is amazing. The coffee taste is minimal but the pepper and slight brown sugar comes through in the perfect amount.

I'll post again just for you brahs. I used this stuff. Still add salt to the steak though to enhance the flavor. it is not strong on it's own. The coffee flavor is minimal in this one. I want to try other brands with a stronger coffee flavor to see if it's any better.

It's fooking amazing though. This is the only brand I've tried for a coffee rub though. This goes perfect with any fatty cut of meat like ribeye, chuckeye or picanha.

Mirin juicy meat OP

Hnnnnnnnngh mirin. Wood/10

I'm surprised more people don't use a coffee rub. I normally use a dark roast mixed with a few other savory spices. It's gives your steak a nice crust and adds an earthy, smoky flavor. It's also works well as a tenderizer.

I like the Fire and Kettle brand as well and have bought it here and there. For awhile, I used the Trader Joe’s brand because it was a third of the price for bone broth.

I get the oxtails and pigs feet from usually Asian or Hispanic groceries. The quality of the bones, oxtails etc are higher all while being cheaper. Some of the oxtails and beef bones I get from a local farm that gives them to me when I buy steaks.

Nice work OP, I love using cast iron for steaks. They are excellent at searing!

Never heard of coffee rub before.. Interesting. Steak looks delish boyo

I don't really care
