Meh, they're pretty even, both are good but boring. It's more situational than rosemary or thyme, but for my money, nothing beats basil. Maaaybe cilantro, especially taking ground coriander into account, but with the whole genetic soap-taste thing, it's just too controversial.

My trouble with herbs and spices when cooking is that they tend to stick to the pan more than the steak does, and I have to do more work to clean up after. So I've mostly stopped using any flavouring whatsoever, purely out of laziness.

Fry the herbs (and some garlic cloves) whole in butter in the pan as the steak sears. Baste the steak with the flavored butter using a spoon. Problem solved.

The only thing a good steak needs is salt.

But, I do think pepper and herbed butter do enhance it. I don't see how you could make that an "objective" claim, tho.

Salt/MSG, pepper, butter, rosemary are the absolute most a half decent steak will ever need. But for high grade beef like wagyu, I agree that anything more than just salt would ruin it. Can't say the same for other meats. Steak is unique in this sense. Everything else gets drowned in seasonings.

I'm guessing it went something like, "Steak is good and pepper is good, so steak and pepper together are better than either alone." Of course Jim Gaffigan disproved this line of reasoning with his fruit cake bit: "Fruit, good, cake, good, fruit cake, nasty crap!"

Brothers like to tease! On the spectrum of bad takes, this one isn't so bad.

I will say - BAD MEAT, old meat, ground beef, all benefit from spices to mask their slightly off flavor. High quality fresh meat doesn't need it.

You make it with plants, they enhance the flavor of the meat, not mask it, if you do it right

Meat is tasty. It's s great source of protein, which being on displays, my body needs more of than average healthy people. I struggle to get enough.

But for pleasurably eating... I just had Indian tonight. I got daal makhani and palak paneer Two vegetarian dishes.

I like meatless meals. In part because they can be easier because of all the stuff I have to avoid like processed meats. Beans and rice is easier to fit in my diet.

But meat is still important.

If your having trouble hitting your protein targets you might want to eat food that has a high DIAAS rating, i.e. the protein your eating is bioavailable with the right ratios of amino acids. Beans and rice don't have great DIAAS ratings, so they are not helping you hit your protein targets in isolation.

I like vegetarian Indian dishes because they don't pretend to be a meat dish made without meat. They are their own thing.

That said, the best Indian dish imo is butter chicken.

There's a zero carb recipe called butter chicken, but which is quite different.

Ingredients:

1 chicken per person
1 block (250g) butter per chicken

Method

Slice the butter thin, about 1mm. Separate the skin from the chicken flesh enough to stuff under the skin with butter. Stuff the sliced butter between the skin and flesh.

Roast until cooked (I haven't had chicken in years and don't recall the times).

Paneer makhani is essentially "butter paneer". I like it better because the chicken many Indian places use is fine, but it's almost a distraction from the sauce. Paneer seems to interfere less. heh

I agree, meat is good because it contains the most highly bioavailable nutrition. The flavour is the body telling us this. I don't really flavour my meat except with salt, much like you did.

I'm not sure if you care for my opinion considering I only eat animals, but I don't really think your body seeking out the nutrition it needs should be making you miserable. Don't be too hard on yourself.

I do think it has made me healthier and happier

That is awesome, I'm glad you have found a lifestyle that works for you!

that there are tons of great reasons for everyone to do the same

I would disagree - I think the biggest issue globally is hyperinsulinemia, addressing that directly probably has the biggest health payoff for the planet.

now when I do fall to that temptation it just sits heavy in my guts and makes me feel miserable and I wonder why I did it to myself.

Sounds like your gallbladder isn't getting much of a workout on your diet, are you doing low fat as well as vegan?
