I just don’t like steak. The texture, it’s so chewy, it’s rough, and no matter how much I chew it still feels thick. I also find it gets stuck in my teeth more than other meats. I love other meats like turkey, ham, hamburger, and pork. Reason I posted this is cause my sister thinks I’m a weirdo and now is saying I’m a vegan or something.

Take my upvote.
Take my upvote for being unpopular, you swine.
Alright I’ll be “that guy”
Guaran-fucking-teed that you haven’t had a good steak.
You must be ordering it medium or well done or something.
Well, could it also be that you’ve never had a really good steak? It should be tender, and though it’s chewy, it should definitely not feel like a chore. Whose steak have you had?
I think steak is just difficult to make at home. It sounds like yours was overdone. For me it’s the king of the meats, but I can’t make it. So much depends on the quality of the meat and the preparation.
Stay away from my kids!

Def unpopular steak is so damn good!!! Take my upvote
Cool you don’t like a thing. Millions of vegans/vegetarians agree with you.
Yeah that just sounds like you have had a good, properly cooked steak. Because it wouldn’t have a chewy, tough texture you’re describing if it was a good piece of meat done right.
“saying I’m a vegan or something” Oh heavens forbid how could she insult her own brother like that. Jokes aside take my upvote.
Incorrect
I hated steak growing up then realized I never had a good steak. I was so surprised at what a good steak is. Mind blown. Had been missing out my whole life.
Its not easy to cook well and very easy to mess up. Give it a chance with my method:
This method is called “Reverse sear”, is how resteraunts generally do it, and will result in a perfect steak every time.
Lower grade cuts/ bad steak can actually be pretty terrible. But I find steak delicious it needs to be a choice ribeye or better though for me to want to actually eat it and if it’s a NY strip prime.
Prime dry aged steaks are delicious
I also am not a big fan of steak (and before someone says I haven’t had a good one or whatever, yes, I have. My BFF loves steak, and I’ve tried hers. It’s still the texture.) I also don’t like pork for similar reasons. In terms of meat I basically only eat chicken, so I started letting people just assume I was vegetarian when they see me order veggie burgers because it was easier than explaining that I just don’t like the same things as them.
The problem is you’re just having crappy steak. Steak is not supposed to be that chewy.
I die for filet mignon, medium rare.
The problem with steak is almost aways some guy is burning it on a grill, it’s a bad cut anyway, and it’s dry and gristly. So I don’t generally eat steak when someone says they’re grilling outside at their home. Because you’re right.
But at a good steakhouse cooked properly and not overdone? Amazing!
Based on your description, you’re definitely eating overcooked steak
Entirely agree. I’d rather have roast beef any day. Or mince!
If you don’t like it that’s up to you but it doesn’t have to be chewy if cooked right and a decent marbled cut. That being said I do much prefer slow cooked beef to steak any day plus it’s easier to get right
OP forgot to tell us how he orders it….
As someone who grew up on (our own) Alberta beef, I definitely disagree with you.
I’ve never been impressed by steaks in the states, though. Definitely lower quality meat.
The cut of steak and how it’s cooked mattered a lot. As a kid I had quite a few medium flank steaks that definitely convinced me I hated steak. But you get yourself a nice medium rare ribeye, cooked in butter, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and thyme, there’s nothing quite like it. Even better, cooked over an open fire. There’s something so viscerally satisfying about red meat cooked with fire.
I agree with you, Steak isn’t all that great, not sure why everybody seeks after one. Though once in a while a good steak is good, but it’s not great to have it all time.
Take my upvote. I’m sorry you’ve been eating well done steaks.
I did the Carnivore diet for a year to try to help with Autoimmune Disease. Now just even the smell of steak makes me want to throw up.
I’m not a fan of it either, no matter how well it’s cooked.
Have you tried a panda steak?
Yes!!!!! Steak is SO GROSS!!!! The texture is disgusting!
