So I'm kinda seeing this chick who's trying to become a vegan. She said it's not an ethical thing but she has only tried a couple burgers ever and didn't like them and she's never had a steak. She said she would give me a try to make one of each and if she likes it she will change her mind. I know how to cook a good burger and steak, IMO, but is there a specific recipe any of you got for this type of thing? Need an A+ recipe cuz I can't be dating no weird vegan chick.

Add Worcestershire Sauce to the ground beef when you make burgers. Furious Styles said my burgers were better than a place he went to in Michigan that was known for their burgers.

If you are cooking steaks, let them warm to room temperature before you grill them. Season generously with salt and pepper. Make some garlic butter ahead of time, and put a pad on each steak as they rest.

And then put your tube steak in her butt. Hi, good dolphin!

Both the rest of this post as well as further interaction with that broad should've ground to an immediate halt by this point.

So the premise is "help me impress an aspiring vegan by making a good steak." Well, if she's not impressed, she'll get to go back to doing what she wanted to do in the first place. Sounds like NHL overtime: you either win or you half-win.

if she's had a portillos burger and says she doesn't like them, she probably won't be swayed be anything.

how do you go from saying "i don't like red meat" to being a strict vegan? does she not like dairy, chicken, fish? vegans can't eat anything that doesn't grow out of a tree or out of the ground.

Chus is right on the money with the Worcestershire Sauce in the mix. Some BBQ sauce/rub in the mix can also work. I like burgers on a pretzel bun, but those have to be fresh.

If she doesn't go for the red meat, put a seasoned/marinated pork roast or pork tenderloin on the grill.

I made a great steak one time where you have the butcher cut a pocket into the steak. You cook up some garlic, onions and other stuff in a pan then stuff it into the pocket before grilling. It might have been the best home made steak I ever had but I don't have the recipe.

Just make her some vegan crap. Then you'll get laid for sure.

Let the steaks sit at room temperature for a little while (not all day!). 20-30 minutes is just fine. Fire up a cast-iron, or heavy skillet if you have one. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Throw the steaks in the pan for 3-4 minutes per side on a medium-high heat. Then, move to a 400 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes if you have a thick steak (you should). As it's finishing up, allow a pad of butter to melt on each. Let rest for a few minutes.

Your best tool here could be a meat thermometer. Take those steaks out 140 to 145 and let them rest for a few if you like it medium.

Don't make steak. she won't like it. Ground beef, if it has to be beef, is your best option.

Go out for sushi.

No, I don't eat steak but I think it should be cooked between medium/medium rare. I like my burgers well done.
