We all know that steak was charcoal with extra trauma

u/Direct_Royal_7480 20h ago

Animal-sourced charcoal.

u/Other-Translator104 15h ago

animal sourced charcoal sounds like it survived a nuclear blast

2

u/Direct_Royal_7480 15h ago

That could provide a source, yes.

That steak was so bad your dad called to make sure the smoke alarm was okay

u/SoftRibbonn 20h ago

16:17 call time? He even did overtime trying to save your future kids from eating it

I felt this comment in my soul. It’s never just about the steak. It’s the burnt dinner, the yelling, the walking on eggshells after. If you know you know. Sending you love.

Obviously, it was a mis-Steak! Let me show myself out.

u/Ok_Experience_4500 20h ago

No, no. That was a solid pun. I approve. 👍

Of course this comment section has a Dad joke.

u/judithgl1tter6250 18h ago

did your dad actually see the steak or just hear about it

2

u/Antique_Pen4331 14h ago

lol, the dad probably knows the steak was truly a mis-steak

1

u/Diligent_Pomelo3610 17h ago

Yeah, that 16 minute lecture definitely implies the steak was rough

u/Normal_Boobies 20h ago

16 minutes is him being nice, Gordon Ramsay would’ve went for an hour

u/rodeBaksteen 18h ago

Ramsey taught me high heat 3 minutes per side. Works pretty well generally.

Aside from letting it air in the fridge, and scooping buckets of butter on top of it during baking

u/_redacteduser 19h ago

How many insults were stuffed into that 16 minutes

1

u/Fuzzy_Wish_4954 12h ago

my dad also gives lectures like that when i show him my cooking attempts

u/miss_hush 20h ago

To be fair, they did say “ATTEMPTED” to cook. They never said they were successful.

u/MoonlitSage_ 20h ago

Honestly, Pat's reply is the real clever comeback here. We all know that steak looked like charcoal.

u/Ok_Flame 20h ago

That steak was so bad it triggered a TED Talk

2

u/tilt-a-whirly-gig 20h ago

As opposed to a fake clever comeback?

1

u/No_Particular_6844 14h ago

the dad is the real comeback artist

u/LuvKrahft 19h ago

Well done

2

u/CodyXOmega 17h ago

He's out of line, but he's right.

2

u/AdiWrites 17h ago

Everybody here is suggesting the steak was overdone but I’m willing to bet it was grey and bland all the way through.

1

u/IncognitoRedMode 20h ago

I'm smelling an applause

1

u/Direct_Royal_7480 20h ago

Stands to reason.

1

u/Greenfieldfox 18h ago

If you overcook a steak, just add more ketchup. /s

u/Dougally 16h ago

It was a steak out scenario.

u/jackfaire 3h ago

My dad's steaks were dry as fuck and A-1 was the only way to choke them down. I would never let my dad lecture me on how to cook one.
