I remember this was my only way to cook steak in college😂. Is it the best steak? Absolutely not! However, at the time i was just enjoying that I was having a steak at all! It definitely isn't the worst thing ever! Admittedly I was finding a way to cook almost anything in a microwave at the time! Ramen and hotpockets were getting old😂 Btw, to any college kids currently in the same struggle. You guys have air fryers now! 100% the better option!
I got an air fryer a few years ago, while I was broke and building my business. No time to cook, and no money for lots of spices and sides. Lots of memories of cheap, BS meals being made better by throwing them in the air fryer while I did invoices, returned calls, and being able to forget about my dinner cooking in the background. My business is going well, and I usually cook good food with good, natural ingredients most nights, but I still have my cheap Walmart air fryer, and I occasionally like to throw some tenders or chicken strips in there. I always make myself a LOADED fish sandwich with it after every Yom Kippur fast. Air fryers are the best.
@@Metalalbumreviewers They really are amazing. My wife and I initially used ours the same way, but to this day our preferred method to cook Garlic Parm Brussel Sprouts, and quite a few other sides is the air fryer. I also enjoy more healthy home cooked meals these days, but it is also a GREAT way to reheat your fast food fries and what not! Really are the best!
100% I started making rice and beans and pasta in the microwave cause I got tired of ramen. It didn't always come out right but I was just happy to be eating beans and pasta.
@@elloguvna6820 you literally can see in some food packing saying not suitable for microwave cooking! Where the F you all live in caves 🤣😂🤣😂 I wish yt had an option to attack photos so I can show you!
So my takeaway is if you buy a decent bread/roll/baguette, put some mayo down, a little arugula, some quick-pickle sweet/red onions, thinly sliced seasoned CHEAP MICROWAVED steak, and then top that with some steak sauce and a little blue cheese crumbles… that’s gonna be a SUPER fast dank ass quick lunch that basically took almost zero effort. Dope.
What I got from this video: The microwave unevenly cooks the steak. Parts of the steak got cooked differently. The steak doesn't taste too bad. You don't get the crust you get from cooking it regularly.
Microwaves boil up the water molecules of whatever you decide to put in unless it has additional functions, so you're basically boiling food in it's juices
Microwaves don't have radiation, the microwave heats up food by heating up the water molecules in the food that's why dry Foods tend to burn in the microwave. Edit: Yea, my bad it does lol
I hate dumb people that try to sound smart. Microwaves DO emit radiation, it's just not ionizing radiation. Bro talking about "ExtinctGodz", the only thing that's extinct is your brain
@@olosrr.3863 ye but these other guys be tryin to show u all the nasty stuff in their mouth and making noise. I chew with my mouth close but some of my friends are hard to sit next to at lunch time 😂
because a microwave probably doesnt entirely cook like a grill does, so it probably is slightly more risky than a ususlly rare steak or medium steak. atleast thats what i assume
@@ricardorascon88 no risk at all with the door closed. The electromagnetic waves bounce around inside the microwave cabinet and dont make their way out.
@@Michael-mv3kc I've done this MANY times, and it absolutely can be "good". Definitely better ways out there, but it's not nearly as bad as everyone in the comments tries to play it off to be. Willing to bet none of them have ever been in a situation where they have to try it.
My microwave manual says to wrap the steak in foil after cooking and leave for 10 minutes before eating. Also it is better to cook thicker meat at a lower power setting to allow the inside to cook evenly.
I tried to microwave beef burger patty, the raw one. Not bad, but not the best either. It (always) kinda like steamed meat like you said. Just that we need the perfect marinating ingredients, that'd be better.
The cheapest steaks are just leftover pieces of beef glued together. So all the health hazards of ground beef apply to this too, as the sides that fell on the cow poop covered floor may very well be on the inside.
My superpower is that I can't taste the difference between good food and barely edible food. That has saved me alot of money by making me immune to the placebo effect of "quality". I am intrigued by the possibilities of his video.
I love how people have forgotten the full name of a microwave. It is Microwave OVEN. It is an actual oven and is meant to actually cook with like you would with a regular oven. People really ought go learn the history of how the Microwave Oven came about and learn how to use it properly. It was never meant to be used just to reheat your food.
Yeah, I used to do this all the time. I had no way to oven broil at one point and that's why. I can broil now. And it's really the way to go (LOL). The first one was like heaven. I'd forgotten. Really forgotten. All those nuked steaks? I thought I enjoyed them but... It is amazing what one can get used to. A week ago I felt too lazy to clean up the broiler pan, so I put a cheap/thin steak in the nuke and it was horrible. The next one is going in the damn oven on broil. (Not for nothing, 2 mins on each side is perfect like Ben did it, BUT you must cover the steak or it will splatter everywhere and ruin your nuke).
Some stoves have a broiler drawer and others a broiler setting. Either way the steak goes on the broiler pan (slatted with a pan under to catch the splatter). Then turn it a few times till it's cooked like you like it.
cooking anything in the microwave destroys the nutrients and minerals. I tested it once by watering two separate plants one with normal tap water, the other with microwaved tap water. The microwave watered plant died in a week
What a horrible yet entertaining idea!
The steak must taste bad
Yeah I wouldn't try that but at least its not hard ! Lol 😆
Then it would have been a very crazy bad 💡
But we can't knock it until we try it he said the taste wasn't that bad like the flavor but the texture is a bit off very detailed observation and opinion
Read the title and I immediately thought ben has fcking lost it. First it was the thing with the sauce and now he's microwaving steak.
Idea for next time: cut the steak in half and cook half in the microwave and the other half normally to see what the difference will be truly
I was thinking the same thing
@@gelooo2x no you weren't
@@S_2_7 I live in his mind rent free, can confirm the thought was there.
Thats even better than my idea,my idea was to get 2 steaks,cook one normally/pan and the other in a microwave

What I got from this video:

You don't get the crust you get from cooking it regularly.
Microwaves boil up the water molecules of whatever you decide to put in unless it has additional functions, so you're basically boiling food in it's juices
microwaves actually rub the water molecules together to create friction and thus heat, it's the friction that causes it to cook
@@jamiewallaceux i thought it oscillated
the OH bonds due to the appropriate light frequency for an H-O-H molecule but I may be wrong?

Quit ridin his meat

My grandma used to cook a whole chicken in her microwave. Best roasted chicken I've ever had tbh.
the most fancy sturggle meal
For people doing car life and having access to a microwave: it may work.
this is like cooking rice with a pan
8:29 “and this is a bad cut-“
u should get 2 cuts of the same steak and go full prep cook on one and microwave on the other curious to know if there would be a massive diff
That’s what I thought also it would’ve been a good idea
Yeah that’s a good idea
Of course there would. What
No there wouldn’t be a difference. Restaurants just like cooking them in a pan cause they like taking longer. But na, no massive difference.
Invest in an air fryer Ben.
Invest in a cast iron
every kitchen should have both!
Way better than I expected. Pretty interesting
I promise I’ll never stop watching bros videos the most authentic ytber in my opinion
Should try air frying steak.
The wife air fry’s chicken once a week or so and it’s actually way juicer than when we grill our minds were blown
Oh hell yeah. I air fry chicken and it is amazing.
Everyone and their mom has tried those now, been trendy for years
I find it fascinating that you made that steak rare medium and well done all at the same time
That's due to the way microwaves work, they don't heat evenly.
I’d definitely be interested in a video on the better cut I was expecting this to be absolutely bogus, I’m surprised as hell it was good 😂😂
It wasnt good lol

You get surprising results in an air fryer. It's often the best option for people that can't actually cook well.

I actually learned that it is more effective to cook meat in the microwave with medium power and longer cooking time.
Its so delicious i have beem eating it for the past 4 year
Get something to elevate the steak from the plate that has holes or slots in it I think it would stop it from stewing in its own juices
