    IDK, not saying this isn’t a good meal, but I seems to me this kind of post just implies that most men can’t cook for shit. Most of my male friends are good cook and can make much better meals than that. Guessing it’s an amrrican thing.

      Isn’t professional cooking even male dominated? AFAICT most kitchen chefs are male. That always made this weird stereotype of “women belong in the kitchen” and “men can’t cook” super weird to me.

          Can relate. There’s a saying “if you turn your hobby into a job, you no longer have a hobby.”

        I think that’s possibly the single most sexist stereotype: “Cooking is for women, unless you’re really really good at it”

        I broke the cycle. My mom is an awful cook, and I can turn any red meat into goodness.

          Most red meat can be turned good by simply existing. So long as you don’t burn it, it’s hard to fuck it up too bad otherwise.

          Montreal steak seasoning, soy sauce, and 40 minutes at 350 will make any red meat amazing though.
