Tribal People's Ultimate Experience at Steak House!
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's steak. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
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.
