    I used to think bears were cool but not after seeing this. Everyone knows the best way to eat a steak is charred and covered in vanilla yogurt.

    This is mostly unrelated but a local restaurant makes their own ketchup with honey as the sweetener and it is the best goddamn ketchup I’ve ever had

      I make bread and pizza dough with honey or molasses instead of sugar and it’s fantastic. Honey is always better than sugar – except in coffee.

    Sweet and savory do seem to be pretty complimentary flavors, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was delicious.

    I’ve been adding maple syrup to dishes as a sweetener and it can turn out pretty great. Like the sautéed mushrooms I made last night:

    • Dice up some onions (white or green both work well) and a hot thai pepper (or more to your preferred spice level). I also chopped a half a carrot up very finely.
    • Heat a pan and add some oil and one piece of the onion you cut up. When it is sizzling, add the chopped stuff from the last step and sauté for a couple mins, then add the mushrooms.
    • Stir it like once a minute. Allow the pieces to sear a bit but not burn. Adjust the temp to work this way.
    • Add some salt, chili powder, worchestershire sauce, cook the water away. Do the same with some lemon juice. If I had to guess, I’d say I used like a teaspoon of each.
    • Now add some maple syrup, just enough to cover the middle part before it spreads out and sizzles a lot. Stir it well and reduce it.
    • Finally add some sort of milk. I used almond milk but I’m sure any will work. Not that much of it (not worth opening a can of coconut milk, though I bet it would work great if you have one already open), it should turn a brown colour and reduce pretty quickly, leaving a delicious creamy mushroom sauce that goes well with steak or on its own. Dairy free, too, if you used anything other than dairy milk.

    I buy mushrooms each time I get groceries just to make this stuff.

      I love honey, berries and wouldn’t mind having them with a steak. I’m not American. I often put honey in meaty foods I make. Also I did actually put some bilberry (proper blueberry) based hotsauce as well. And the meat was horse. And again. Not American.

      What makes you think they have to be American? I’d understand if it was like spray-cheese or hfcs or even maple syrup, but idk what about this shouts American? Just curious not flaming.

          I don’t think one would necessarily get fat by eating this, even with the drizzle of honey. It’s mostly leanish meat and fruit, that’s not too bad.

          And contrary to popular belief one has to be a not-entirely dumb to be able to cook a good steak.

            It seems that adding sugar, maple syrup etc to any savoury food is quite American, obviously the trend has taken off in many countries, it may not be unique to the US now, but sugar in savoury foods, lack of vegetables, and frying everything seem to be hallmarks of a lot of US cuisine

              Yeah I’d agree with most of that.

              But honey is a pretty traditional additive to lots of foods, even savoury ones. More common with pork perhaps than beef but still.

              And the berries, while being also quite high in sugar, aren’t exactly unhealthy either.

              Idk man I just feel like American always has something processed or at least fat dripping off or like bread that’s soaked in fat. This hasn’t got anything processed.
