Cut a tiny amount of the meat off of one of them, and put it in a sample container, fill with whatever the preservation fluid is you see in museums and stuff (you do the research!), and voila, preserved FOREVER.

Hell of a keep-sake in trade for what, a small bite of meat?!

I honestly thought they were joking with the whole steak thing.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Let them marinate in some chili pepper juice. Yum...

Blue cheese is awful.

Go grab some large mushrooms and bake them with blue cheese for around 15 minutes; have them with your steak.

If you're putting A1 on a steak, you're doing it wrong.
Quoting the literal -blam!- out of this. Steak sauce, contrary to its name, is the last thing you should be putting on a steak. Except perhaps ketchup.

Steaks 101:

Take your steak out, rub it down vigorously with loads of salt, freshly ground black pepper and olive oil. Leave it to stand. Don't worry about excess, this comes off when cooking.
Heat up a pan to as hot as you can physically get it without it catching fire
Cook your steak for approximately two minutes (or to taste) on each side, turning once.
This is the important bit: Leave your steak to stand for five minutes before you eat it. This is the difference between an average steak and a -blam!- good steak.

If you must insist on sauce, then a creamy pepper sauce is the only way to go. Sauces are meant to compliment the meat, not stick to it and overpower it with the taste of sugar, tomatoes and vinegar. If your intended condiment is coming from a bottle, just stop now and donate the steak to a worthier cause.

-blam!-, now I really want a steak.

Cheese? On a steak? Good lord, you're worse than the ketchup brigade. Leave cheese to the foods that it improves, like chicken.

I need to copy this. Replace steak with wang and you got yourself something.

First of all, whoever has not read this steak 101 read it now. It is what must be done to every single steak before accessories are added; core knowledge.

Secondly, a blue cheese sauce is possibly one of the most unequivocally incredible things to put over your steak. Given the choice however, it must be placed on the mushrooms.

I must admit I'm tempted to try ths. Perhaps a pepper sauce with the cream component partially replaced with a strong cheese. I'd still be worried about it overpowering the meat, though.

Don't worry, the seasoning on the steak still bites through the subtly tangy taste of the cheese. I would splash out on Saint d'Agur (goes perfectly).

Sometimes a teency bit of lazy garlic goes well with the mushrooms, but that depends on whether or not you have company.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

Salt/pepper/steaky seasonings of choice, then cover with melted unsalted butter. Gas grill, 2 minutes, rotate 90 degrees, 2 minutes, flip, 2 minutes, rotate 90 degrees, 2 minutes. Place on hot as you can make it plate of sizzling butter, let stand for 2 to 5 minutes.

That is how it is done.

And anybody who orders a steak well done or even medium well should just stick with chicken and let the grown ups handle the steak. Steak should be rare to medium-rare - a warm red center. And we'll not speak of those who put ketchup on steak.

Garnishing with garlic, additional salt/pepper, and sometimes even cheddar, parmesan, or blue cheese are acceptable depending on the way you've seasoned the steak. The key is to keep it minimal - you shouldn't need very much.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I have Ulcerative Colitis and if I don't get my steak well done, I get sick.
