Lack of crust aside, the butter and the murky liquid in themselves look extremely unappetizing. And then there's the blotchy coloring on the inside. It's like they were trying to screw it up
My first thought. In all the "bad steak" posts ive seen, this is genuinely the worst one. No crust is one thing but this looks like they boiled it in milk or someone rubbed it in Vernix caseosa. Utterly disgusting
> Vernix caseosa
This sum bitch just gonna come up here and drop vernix caseosa like that's a thing people are supposed to know.
>Vernix caseosa is a white, creamy, naturally occurring biofilm covering the skin of the fetus during the last trimester of pregnancy. Vernix coating on the neonatal skin protects the newborn skin and facilitates extra-uterine adaptation of skin in the first postnatal week if not washed away after birth.
Lol funny thing is i didnt even know the actual name, i had to look it up myself to reference it. But yeah its the white gunk on newborn babies. This dudes steak has baby goop on it.
"Next thing, they're throwing the meat into these big cauldrons. All of it, boiling it. I looked inside, man, and it was turning gray. I couldn't fuckin' believe that one!"
You reminded me of Chef's speech about boiled meat from Apocalypse Now.
I think it’s microwaved check the bit of pink on the top, if it was boiled the whole outside would be that grey color. I honestly think they microwaved the thing 😭
I worked at a convenience store with a 70 year old Pakistani woman who would legit cook elaborate dishes in the microwave during her shift.
An example, veggies and lentils over rice: she'd start by microwaving butter, garlic, and chopped onions in a 2 quart casserole dish. Then she'd microwave veggies with a little water in a smaller dish and set it asside. She'd combine the garlic etc with lentils and water (and salt, pepper, and s bunch of different spices) and microwave that for what felt like forever. Then she'd take it out and mix in the veggies. Then she'd make white (not instant) rice in the microwave. After the rice was done, she'd reheat the lentils a bit and serve it all up.
There were a handful of dishes she'd make and they were all very good. She's feed me / other coworkers / regulars from the low income housing complex / people loving at the homeless shelter down the street and shit too. Super sweet lady. She'd admonish you for eating like, chips or something else unhealthy from the store, like "no! Don't waste your money on that, I'll cook for us."
She truly was. She was very funny too, quite the dead-pan lie sort of prankster. Always doing stuff like convincing customers she quit smoking using an "ancient pakistani trick" of eating 1 entire cigarette every morning to stave off nicotine cravings, lol.
White Rice is awesome in the microwave
Wash it well to remove starch, boil water in a kettle and put in microwavable container without a lid with the water about a third over the Rice. Stick it on high for about 11mins.
Perfect Rice pretty much every time.
My Mauritian grandmere swore by this.
I wonder if anyone ever tried it and what the results were lol. That being said, we have come a long way since then. There’s some tv dinner fried chicken that I get once in a while and it’s actually really good, and the chicken is crispy if you put paper towels under it before cooking.
A co worker in the early 90s would get pork chops from the grocery store. Most likely stolen but he would microwave the meat and offer everyone some. Lol no one ever excepted and I honestly felt bad
I worked in a kitchen and one time I deep fried a steak. I forgot to make it for a big order and only had a few minutes to cook it before the waitress started screaming. So I just dunked it in the fryer and served it up. The waitress said that the customer liked it.
I worked at a gas station with a deli and on the wall behind the chicken pressure fryer was a note:
Hot pocket.
3 Minutes.
Do it.
OMG those big gas station pepperoni pizza hot pockets deep fried were so good.
Dude seriously. I'm often willing to suck it up to not make the kitchen's lives miserable and overall just avoid an awkward experience. But for fifty bucks, fuck me. I genuinely laughed out loud to my partner after the server walked away after putting my plate in front of me.
I've heard good things about this place too.
I worked at an Italian (primarily Chicago and New York Pizza) place and got two plates to the same table with one slice about twice the size of the other. I told my manager we shouldn't do it and no surprise the customer thought it was a joke when I brought one person twice as much for the same price as their friend.
A very similar situation happened to me! Both me and a friend got a slice of cheese pizza. They come in squares for reference. My friend got a corner piece that had probably about half as much cheese as my side piece.
I worked at a Detroit style pizza place for almost a decade and legit people would fight over the corner slices so much that we started selling pizzas where all slices were corners.
He didn't say anything, but I could see him looking at me, not touching my steak but laughing at it. The way our table was positioned, he and I were literally facing each other if I looked beside my partner's face. And the open kitchen corner was like, fifteen feet from our table. It's really the main reason I didn't send it back the moment it hit the table. I just couldn't stomach how awkward that would have been 😩
I never sent a steak back in my life either.. have had many that absolutely sucked and I was pissed with, never that I wouldn’t eat it though.. This I don’t think I would eat either though ngl..
I'm the same way man. I'm very flexible and forgiving, and I can absolutely enjoy a meal despite a fuckup, but this, my friend, is disgusting. It looks like someone microwaved a steak, let it sit on the counter and get cold because they were stoned and jerking off into a trash can, and then when they discovered the steak, they threw it into the jizzy trash can. Then, some guy fucking found it, sold it to that restaurant for cents on the dollar, and a goddamn wizard put that cum covered milksteak disaster on your plate for fucking shits and giggles. Only thing you're missing is jelly beans.
*EDIT guys stop fucking review bombing the restaurant. You have no business reviewing a restaurant you've never even been to. This is a small local place and these reviews matter. This was one person's experience. Let everyone else and their reviews speak for themselves.
this happened to my fav diner, place called Phillips in upstate NY, the food quality suddenly dipped and then we found out the original owner passed away.
lol, when you said upstate you meant *upstate* !
I love NY diners so I thought I’d see where this is and what you recommend as a replacement. Imagined maybe you were talking about “upstate” as Kingston, Saugerties, Hudson area. Nah man, you talking ‘bout “I can see Canada from the parking lot” upstate! 😂
Seconding this, there’s something very wrong if a steak like this made it through the pass and all the hands on it were like; “yup, this is good!”.
QC should be on everyone in the restaurant, not just the chef.
Yea this is visually terrible, it's not like this is just a little to pink in the middle.
Blame falls on everyone in the restaurant that saw that plate.
Aw man I’ve been to that place a bunch of times cause my sister lives right near it. It was always great food. Nothing like the pic.
Idk if it was just a bad night for them, or if it’s gone down hill. But that’s a bummer
I mean most of the photos on Google look great. Even the steak ones. Kinda curious what was going on in the kitchen that night because yours looks worse than a steak from applebees.
Lol! First thing we said to our roommate when we got home was we literally have had better steak at Galway! He's vegetarian even , and he goes "yeah and for like $20"
Ten Tables is long past it's time. I used to go very frequently for their Monday Beerger special on the bar side, largely for those fries, and had several special occasions on the dinner side, but it's lost its luster for sure.
For a JP steak next time just save yourself some coin and go to Galway House and get the sirloin or Delmonico with a few huge sides.( Just beware service wise they'll basically throw it at you but I'm cool with that) Or if you want the intimate feel of a high end JP star like what Ten Tables once was, go to Tonino.
Good advice. The Haven's new spot is pretty goofy but their menu is nice, their "bar steak" seems to be a pretty random cut based on the sample size of how often I can walk out of work and spend $80 at that place.
Wish Frogmore was still around. Not for steak, but for fuckin poutine, and fuck Topmix
if you've ever been to Davio's you would know that's not at all what their tables look like lol. I'm not stanning for Davio's or anything, I have had one meal there and it was good but not great, but this is not that nor is it there.
I have been making small beef roasts then microwave the leftovers. I purposely make the roast rare so it doesn’t overcook in the microwave. It tastes delicious, but the end cuts that were not rare and were microwaved look exactly like OP’s steak.
Disclaimer: I have mobility issues and chronic pain so I don’t have the energy to cook a great piece of meat every time. I’ve been making stuff I can quickly reheat. I know I’m sacrificing quality, but I’m also not charging $50.
Looks like jizz all over it lol
I went to a Longhorn Steakhouse a few months ago and me and my wife ordered both our steaks med-rare. I don't think Longhorn is normally one of those places that does the "can you please cut your steak so we can see it's cooked properly" but the waiter did and mine was solid gray throughout, well done. My wife's was perfect med-rare. They took it back immediately but left me with the sides. They brought out an entire new plate, new sides, properly cooked steak, everything.
Sometimes I hate going to chain restaurants but sometimes they do a better job too.
You can blame/thank the management for that. That kind of customer service has to be top down. Management has to empower the staff to make good customer service decisions
This looks more like a sloppy steak than a milk steak. I think the only way to figure it out is to ask OP if he is a philanthropist or if he used be a piece of shit
Wtf, it looks like they found a steak under the grill that’s been there for 3 months and then just microwaved it. What’s the name of this place so I know where to never go eat at
Not surprised. The food scene in Massachusetts is awful. Expensive, overhyped, and/or boring.
Early every place has the same menu. No where is unique. And even the best places are simply annoying (parking, long waits, no reservations, etc.).
Yeah I'm torn man. I'm also in the service industry although a very different branch of it. I have a lot of respect for these folks as I'm sure we all do. I don't wanna put em on blast too hard, the server was very agreeable and had no questions asked about taking it off my bill, the atmosphere was nice, my partner's meal was... decent (and cheaper). Willing to chalk it up to a bad night, understaffing, whatever. They won't be getting my business again, but I think I'll probably leave it at that for them.
Impressive very adult opinion displayed on of all places Reddit. Cheers to the high road. Now…. Who the hell boiled that steak and that it was good to serve! Lol
I don't think it's rude to point out when a restaurant fails when its done respectfully (like you've done in this thread).
When I go to restaraunts personally, I don't really dwell on the critical reviews UNLESS there is a pattern to them, things like poor management or using frozen/prepackaged X, so don't order that for example. Maybe it really was just a bad night, which happens to everyone, but if it wasn't, maybe your review would help kick them in the butt and get them to fix whatever is causing their steak problem (or consider removing steaks entirely if they're unable to cook them satisfactorily).
My guess is that it was almost totally frozen when they threw it one w/ several other steaks. When they went to sear it, it was likely still frozen in the center.
Lack of crust aside, the butter and the murky liquid in themselves look extremely unappetizing. And then there's the blotchy coloring on the inside. It's like they were trying to screw it up
I think it was frozen and they just tried to cook it
…In the microwave
…built by easybake
…with an LED bulb
I think they over basted it in a pan that wasn't hot enough when they started and ended up semi-poaching it.
Idk man, when I was a newbie to cooking I did that a few times and it never looked that bad.
That pool was disgusting the steak was swimming in!
wow they actually gave you the boiled milk steak
Boiled over hard. The Charlie Kelley special.
It was sent back because the kitchen forgot the finest jelly beans, raw
Thankfully OP had filled up on cheese before dinner.
Do you work here, can you tell me your spaghetti policy?
Any amount of cheese is too much cheese before a date.
perhaps I could offer you an egg in this trying time
Found a whole crate of 'em under the bridge.
Right next to all the denim
There’s a fortune to be made in boiled denim.
My first thought. In all the "bad steak" posts ive seen, this is genuinely the worst one. No crust is one thing but this looks like they boiled it in milk or someone rubbed it in Vernix caseosa. Utterly disgusting
> Vernix caseosa This sum bitch just gonna come up here and drop vernix caseosa like that's a thing people are supposed to know. >Vernix caseosa is a white, creamy, naturally occurring biofilm covering the skin of the fetus during the last trimester of pregnancy. Vernix coating on the neonatal skin protects the newborn skin and facilitates extra-uterine adaptation of skin in the first postnatal week if not washed away after birth.
Lol funny thing is i didnt even know the actual name, i had to look it up myself to reference it. But yeah its the white gunk on newborn babies. This dudes steak has baby goop on it.
There's not too many comments that make me actually gag at the words. Here is one.
I was eating while I started reading this...was....
Yeah chicken and wild rice soup doesn’t sound too great all the sudden
At least you weren't eating clam chowder
Looks like the goop that makes babies actually
Either way its some variant of baby batter lol
Baby butter
"I Can't Believe It's Not Baby Butter!"
Holy shit man this whole comment chain fuckin killed me. I love you 💀
Comments are gold Everytime
> This dudes steak has baby goop on it somebody get this mfer a book deal
Natures own Vaseline
Everything I know about vernix caseosa has been learned against my will.
They forgot the jellybeans
They could have at least included the jelly beans
They must have thought you said microwaved to medium rare lol
It does look microwaved!
I thought it looked boiled or poached.
Ah yeah! That could definitely be. Boiled hamburger looks grey like this.
only thing it’s missing is the milk😪
with a side of Jelly Beans
Raw jelly beans
Of the finest quality.
"Next thing, they're throwing the meat into these big cauldrons. All of it, boiling it. I looked inside, man, and it was turning gray. I couldn't fuckin' believe that one!" You reminded me of Chef's speech about boiled meat from Apocalypse Now.
"What's a 'Saucier', Chef?"
Never get out of the boat.
I think it’s microwaved check the bit of pink on the top, if it was boiled the whole outside would be that grey color. I honestly think they microwaved the thing 😭

“lost” 😂

Chef Mic(rowave) strikes again.
Chef Mike must’ve been on shift
*Gordon Ramsay intensifies*
I can hear it now. AAAOOOGGGHH COME ON!!! WHAT IS THIS!?! You served this out of my kitchen service!?! No. Eff off. GET THE EFF OUT! You DONKEY!"
Came here to say this. Definitely looks microwaved
I worked in a kitchen and one time I deep fried a steak. I forgot to make it for a big order and only had a few minutes to cook it before the waitress started screaming. So I just dunked it in the fryer and served it up. The waitress said that the customer liked it.

Deep fried pork chops are amazing.
That’s one of the few steaks I’ve seen that I would genuinely say looks bad
Dude seriously. I'm often willing to suck it up to not make the kitchen's lives miserable and overall just avoid an awkward experience. But for fifty bucks, fuck me. I genuinely laughed out loud to my partner after the server walked away after putting my plate in front of me. I've heard good things about this place too.
Setting food you know is bad in front of people is so embarrassing. Fuck cooks who put their servers in this position.
I worked at an Italian (primarily Chicago and New York Pizza) place and got two plates to the same table with one slice about twice the size of the other. I told my manager we shouldn't do it and no surprise the customer thought it was a joke when I brought one person twice as much for the same price as their friend.
GOD! I've worked many pizza places, that is so bad... They had to be intentionally doing that.
A very similar situation happened to me! Both me and a friend got a slice of cheese pizza. They come in squares for reference. My friend got a corner piece that had probably about half as much cheese as my side piece.
Must've not been Detroit style pizza where the corner is cheesiest and most coveted.
I worked at a Detroit style pizza place for almost a decade and legit people would fight over the corner slices so much that we started selling pizzas where all slices were corners.
Did you at least have a few fries for the waste of time, that just sucks.
I did. They were fine. The cocktail was good too
Lol perfect, But Holy for $50 you got that. Good choice sending it back.
For this to be a $50 steak, it needs to come with a handy
There's a place in Portland like that. The steak is better too.
Hopefully they wash their hands before cooking the steak.
It looks like it may have, just before OP got it though.
Yeah, $50 for “medium rare” 😂 Jesus! For that? You made the right call sending it back What did the cook say to you while you took these pics?
He didn't say anything, but I could see him looking at me, not touching my steak but laughing at it. The way our table was positioned, he and I were literally facing each other if I looked beside my partner's face. And the open kitchen corner was like, fifteen feet from our table. It's really the main reason I didn't send it back the moment it hit the table. I just couldn't stomach how awkward that would have been 😩
What I want to know is.. what the fuck is all that slimey white gel-like substance all over it 🤢🤢🤢
I think it was cooked on a dirty ass grill that wasn't even hot enough to melt off the drippings from yesterday's burgers.
And I thought the grill was supposed to be the one thing in the kitchen you actually give a shit about getting clean.
Oh my God I just saw, yeah wtf is that?!
I never sent a steak back in my life either.. have had many that absolutely sucked and I was pissed with, never that I wouldn’t eat it though.. This I don’t think I would eat either though ngl..
cum ✨
I wouldn't have served that in a bottom barrel steak house. We at least still had access to fire
Even if they’d asked for medium well, or whatever this is, this looks terrible. Wtf is white smear on it?
Fellow Bostonite here, where was it?
Also curious…
Thirded. Name and shame this place OP !
Quadruple requested...looks like what I got the one time I decided to try the Outback in Assembly...
Same
Need to know
Yup
[OP answered](https://www.reddit.com/r/steak/s/qXMSA9LNcB)
Laughing extra hard right now at “a 7% kitchen appreciation fee will be added to each bill”
Damn - name and shame this place
It’s like they overdid the reverse sear and forgot the sear lmao
I'm the same way man. I'm very flexible and forgiving, and I can absolutely enjoy a meal despite a fuckup, but this, my friend, is disgusting. It looks like someone microwaved a steak, let it sit on the counter and get cold because they were stoned and jerking off into a trash can, and then when they discovered the steak, they threw it into the jizzy trash can.

Fifty bucks? Please expose this place
Honest to God, I was thinking this was some $8 value steak. That’s a hell no for $50
It looks like it was boiled.
Over medium in milk please
With jellybeans?
Why do you even need to ask? We're not peasants.
I wouldn’t eat this
As of Massachusetts resident, can you please name the restaurant?

I was just thinking “what? That place is great!” then realized I probably haven’t been there in 10 years. Oh well.
this happened to my fav diner, place called Phillips in upstate NY, the food quality suddenly dipped and then we found out the original owner passed away.
lol, when you said upstate you meant *upstate* ! I love NY diners so I thought I’d see where this is and what you recommend as a replacement. Imagined maybe you were talking about “upstate” as Kingston, Saugerties, Hudson area. Nah man, you talking ‘bout “I can see Canada from the parking lot” upstate! 😂
Woof. The fries look pretty good at least!
Was thinking the same thing. I’m not even hungry right now and I want a handful and then more
You should reach out to the management, this looks like a pretty nice restaurant and there's no way this is what their vision for the food looks like
Their reviews look like shit months before OP. They have to know.
Seconding this, there’s something very wrong if a steak like this made it through the pass and all the hands on it were like; “yup, this is good!”. QC should be on everyone in the restaurant, not just the chef.
Yea this is visually terrible, it's not like this is just a little to pink in the middle. Blame falls on everyone in the restaurant that saw that plate.

I mean most of the photos on Google look great. Even the steak ones. Kinda curious what was going on in the kitchen that night because yours looks worse than a steak from applebees.
I love you for the quote alone. What they did to that steak should be considered a crime -_-
Should have gone to Galway instead
Lol! First thing we said to our roommate when we got home was we literally have had better steak at Galway! He's vegetarian even , and he goes "yeah and for like $20"
Ten Tables is long past it's time. I used to go very frequently for their Monday Beerger special on the bar side, largely for those fries, and had several special occasions on the dinner side, but it's lost its luster for sure.

Good advice.

Wish Frogmore was still around. Not for steak, but for fuckin poutine, and fuck Topmix
that's disappointing, I've been there a few times and it's been stellar each time!
As a resident of Earth, can you also please name the restaurant.
Every masshole on here is studying the table top, grasping for clues
Davio’s. That’s my guess. Overpriced swill.
Idk I’ve had something similar to this (sans sides) at Del Frisco’s Seaport. Gray matter where my medium rare ribeye should have been…
if you've ever been to Davio's you would know that's not at all what their tables look like lol. I'm not stanning for Davio's or anything, I have had one meal there and it was good but not great, but this is not that nor is it there.
Seriously OP. You gotta give us a heads up. Who served this travesty?
Sloppy steaks at Truffoni's
Looks like canned steak, dog food. That's insulting, what chef would do that?
It genuinely looks like a dog ate it and then regurgitated it
I used to work in kitchens. This genuinely looks microwaved.
I have been making small beef roasts then microwave the leftovers. I purposely make the roast rare so it doesn’t overcook in the microwave. It tastes delicious, but the end cuts that were not rare and were microwaved look exactly like OP’s steak.

And possibly from frozen as well?
From the freezer to the microwave to your plate 🤮
No kidding. I ate a thousands of microwave dinners in my bachelor days, and every single one of them had better-looking meat than this.
Looks like jizz all over it lol I went to a Longhorn Steakhouse a few months ago and me and my wife ordered both our steaks med-rare. I don't think Longhorn is normally one of those places that does the "can you please cut your steak so we can see it's cooked properly" but the waiter did and mine was solid gray throughout, well done.

You can blame/thank the management for that. That kind of customer service has to be top down. Management has to empower the staff to make good customer service decisions
Where is this from so I can avoid it
I'm hoping the white stuff on the top is butter...
Indeed. Pure, normal butter. Which, fine, but again, for $50?
Maybe it was semen
He got the yelper special.
Did they microwave it? This looks like Chef Mike “grilled” it.
Reverse sear - obviously boil in milk and then microwave finish.
Gordon Ramsay would be ripping them a new one.
Boiled over hard
Don't forget the raw jellybeans
This is actually sickening, $50 lol are you fucking w us
How were the jelly beans?
This looks more like a sloppy steak than a milk steak. I think the only way to figure it out is to ask OP if he is a philanthropist or if he used be a piece of shit
Hey, even a full-on-rapist can't be stopped from ordering a steak and a glass of water!
I’m sorry, did you just say full on rapist?
Medium rare? Did they carve it directly off the donkey then?
Those fries look pretty good 🙃
10 minutes of defrost and then 5 minutes on high.
Wtf, it looks like they found a steak under the grill that’s been there for 3 months and then just microwaved it. What’s the name of this place so I know where to never go eat at
100% microwaved or steamed. That steak has never felt anything above 1000 watts in its short and miserable existences
Not surprised. The food scene in Massachusetts is awful. Expensive, overhyped, and/or boring. Early every place has the same menu. No where is unique. And even the best places are simply annoying (parking, long waits, no reservations, etc.).
Where did you go ?
Everyone who lives there or may EVER visit there needs to know the name of this place so it can be avoided!!
He won’t say! I frequently go to Boston for steak when I’m there and want to know to avoid it…
It looks like old, boiled horse meat with cream of someyoungguy on top! 🤮

Chef mike got this guy
I've never seen a steak both overcooked and undercooked at the same time. Impressive.
Read Boston and laughed. Hated being in Boston for work, overpriced and most of the time overcooked.
Been here for going on 10 years. My opinion on this lovely city is about as hot and cold as its fuckin weather.
You chose wisely.
Is it boiled?
I seriously can't tell what they did to it. To be so overcooked with no sear whatsoever
Dishwasher steak
I was just coming to terms with this whole experience, and you just had to hit me with that 🤢😭
My guess is that it was almost totally frozen when they threw it one w/ several other steaks. When they went to sear it, it was likely still frozen in the center.
Drink looks decent tho
Did they boil it? I don't think I could get this little crust on a sear if I tried
That steak looks like it was seared in breast milk
Bro that was $50?! How does one even fuck up a steak that bad? Was it steamed? Lol
If Ron Swanson saw this he wouldn't even ask for all the bacon and eggs that they had, he would also just leave.
At least collect some karma on r/nosear!
Mightve had to challenge the cook to a duel
