Wife isn't feeling good. This is sometimes the result of anemia. She takes iron supplements but occasionally you just need steak.

Cost per person: $13

Needs something green on the plate (and maybe some gravy). Now I want mashed potatoes.

I would love to veg things up but by the time steak becomes mandatory for physical health I'm in danger if I deviate from the comfort food due to her mental health.

If it were up to me this thing would be swimming in chimichurri, peppers or any number of other options.

I like to throw in some roughly chopped fennel to the same pan.

If I recall correctly, spinach has a lot of iron in it and it's green. Added bonus, it makes you able to take on a bully!

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She has a history of kidney stones. Spinach is one of the worst things you can give someone with that background.

I have kidney stones sometimes. They told me I couldn't have leafy greens, and I was heartbroken.

I ignore it and just drink hella water with meals, so far it's okay, but my shit hurts just thinking about passing another stone. Shit is rough rough, I feel for her

[–] eyes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's actually nothing special in terms of iron content - about the same as most other vegetables. Its an old urban legend that it's high in Iron and a deeper academic rabbit whole than you might expect - it is high in vitamin A though.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But it makes them feel better. That's the real goal.

[–] eyes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, for sure. It's still good for you as are most vegetables, and tasty to boot, but I've experienced too many people treat anemia with a spinach rich diet (my family carries the thalacemia genes) so I try to point it out where possible to help inform others.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

She has a history of kidney stones. Spinach rich is a no go.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Roquefort cheese to the rescue!

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Not sure about the inside of the meat because it looks like chewing gum pink or the same colour pink musk sticks use

Usually steaks are a more reddish pink in the center

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Looks like it was maybe too cold when they seared it. I’d have lowered the temp and cooked it a few more.m minutes. 3 maybe.

[–] remon@ani.social 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Damn, that is really cheap steak.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Cheapest ribeye we could find.

[–] jjpamsterdam@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Even without anemia, Steak is a good idea anyways, at least from time to time.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've never seen steak tartare with a sear on it before.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Easily medium rare.

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cook it on a cast iron for some extra iron leaching goodness.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I'm just going to quote myself from last night on Bluesky from a completely unrelated post.

Same for cast iron. If you have a proper cure on there you will get zero iron.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com -1 points 1 week ago

Looks really good
