Tribal People Try Chicken Steak For The First Time
About this video
In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet steak for the first time. Most of them had never seen it before the camera started, so the first minute is questions — what is it, what's in it, how do you eat it — and then the plates go round.
What is steak?
Steak is a thick cut of beef cooked quickly over high heat and served pink in the middle. It is the centrepiece of American and Argentine eating and comes with its own vocabulary: ribeye, sirloin, medium-rare.
What to watch for
Pink meat is the whole conversation. Beef in Punjab is cooked until it falls apart in nihari or dry-fried in a karahi; a medium-rare steak looks raw to someone who has never seen one, and several people say it plainly before tasting it.
The comparison they always make
Beef is eaten here, but as slow-cooked curry, not as a slab. The idea that a piece of meat could be done in six minutes is as surprising as the colour.
