Can someone who, perhaps, watches TV more than I do, tell me what this is about? http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Milk-Steak-With-Jelly-Beans

NFD’ed it. I’ll take the fall for that since I categorized it a few months ago. *hides*

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Milk%20Steak
looks legitimate, but of course, I didn’t actually read the article, just the summary, it even includes jelly beans, and has a link to a bona-fide YouTube video… doesn’t it sound lovely? Of course, since I don’t eat beef, someone else (Jenn?) will have to try it.
I looked at the article and it’s a legit recipe, just a little um original.
I was presuming the others realized that as it clearly states it’s from a tv show.
I can’t believe that we’re counting Urban Dictionary as a source.

Cooking beef & steak in milk or cream is a pretty old fashioned, almost medieval method - its more often used as a way to braise or roast beef, as it evaporates away leaving a meaty custard (a step away from the cream gravies today when you think about it). But the jellybeans… 1 or 2 Black ones for the aniseed flavour at a stretch… but half a cup! I’ve seen an old recipe (Middle Eastern/ South Asian I was pretty sure) that had beef braised in yoghurt with about that much honey (there was twice as much beef though) and similar spices (including cardamom, bay leaves and a clove). Not bad but needed cooking gently for about an hour or more. You needed the sour yoghurt to balance the sweet and spiced flavours. I’ve checked the method on the article and if I’m honest it wouldn’t make a very good meal with or without the jelly beans. I assume the raw part means the jelly beans are uncooked (not put in the milk…) In one of my former jobs as a trained chef, I think its safe to say its not a proper recipe and there is little that could convince me it would do anything but waste your money. Steak poached in sweet spiced milk and served with jellybeans, Not seen the TV show, but I assume its a comedy of some kind for a young audience? If there’s merit in the entertainment category perhaps, but I wouldn’t recommend it in the cooking section. : ) Edit: NFD for joke is pretty valid if any other.
Maybe WildRoseBeef knows a little about this subject, since it does have SOMETHING to do with Beef and Cows(maybe)?
Here’s my position: If no one but the author really knows what the heak they’d be making until it’s finished, then how is this going to help anyone? Is there even an actual picture of the darn thing?
Urban Dictionary is a solid source
There are several insults to wikiHow on Urban Dictionary. Are you saying those are accurate? lol

I’m pretty sure I don’t want to waste a steak for this… I’d actually consider the Krabby Patty from Spongebob to be a more legit dish I’d make. Edit: From the wikiHow article, it says, “Poach for five minutes on one side. Flip steak over then poach for another five minutes. Take poached steak out of saucepan, let rest for 1 minute.” - So are we to assume that the steak will be completely cooked just from the boiling milk ALONE? That is why I NFD’ed it.

My cooking curiosity propelled me to watch a youtube clip of it (I’ve cooked crocodile omelette when this kind of bizarre cookery was the rage so I’ve had some pretty strange things in my time) - yes, milk steak & jelly beans is a joke. The three young cooks ended up (as predicted) going on about how gross it was and a choice moment from the clip offers, “the jellybeans must be raw to preserve their nutrients”. Apparently… Safe to say its a worthy NFD candidate.

There are food blogs that have pictures. It’s not pretty though: http://www.dailyfork.com/2009/10/in\_case\_you\_were\_wondering\_abo\_1.php
There’s actually a debate about how it is made. Some people say that milk steak is made with regular fried steak that is topped with a milk gravy: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091023134718AAKyS9Y
I’m on the fence about this. Yes, it is unusual and could be considered gross, but people do cook it – sort of like how Dr. Seuss fans make green eggs and ham. I’m not quite sure that this is a joke – just a pop culture thing that you may make for fun as a one-off.

I’d actually say keep it - it’s of reasonable quality, and we have other pop culture articles - we can’t delete a recipe based on the fact we think it would taste bad!
I would agree with busby, different people have different tastes. Some would love the recipe others would hate it.

Fried steak topped with milk gravy and the TV show method that this article is talking about are two different things, and the article is going based on the UD definition of it (with the jelly beans), so it’s still inaccurate; what’s the safety concern of this article? Who knows.
