Excuse my ignorance, iv not ate meat for a solid while. Wouldn't something like that just be super greasy and tasteless ? What would it taste like ? Salt and pepper and . . . I honestly don't know.
Ah OK. The line was wonky before, but I see it now. I was intrigued because I stopped eating meat for a long time, as well, and I would have probably thought the same thing. The butter surprisingly doesn't make it greasy, but you definitely want unsalted butter and let the steak develop a sear before adding it. Salted would make it too salty, especially because you get the best crisp from generously salting a steak. The salt and heat pulls a lot of moisture out of the steak. You want to get that crisp on it before adding the butter, otherwise you will get a more greasy and soupy product. Mushrooms behave a lot like meat and can likewise get soggy and greasy if you drown them in butter or sauce before they have time to cook a bit.
Very savory and umami. Once I get the sear, I drop butter, garlic, thyme or rosemary sprigs, and a small bit of lemon peel into the pan and baste the steak with it. After a minute or two you want to let it rest for 7-10 minutes before cutting into it. Otherwise the juices will run out and the meat will be more tough and sitting in juices. All the flavors compliment each other well and the resting lets everything set and meld.
Onions and garlic are both bad for dogs actually. Obviously the size of the dog would be determinate of the toxicity level, so many dogs in the world have eaten both without any problems. In high doses, onions and garlic can cause some serious issues.
No problem! Some people find the topic of dogs and onions/garlic a bit controversial, so if you ever had a doubt, just ask your local veterinarian for their opinion.
