Questions for a King: A Very Special Steak King Insider

Some of you caught our Instagram Story last week where we asked you to ask Steak King a question.

Scroll to the bottom to view the video we recorded of some of the Q&A, but if you’re looking to get deeper inside the mind of a King, keep reading! (If you wrote a question and you don’t see it here - we’re sorry! We weren’t able to write them all down before the Insta story expired!)

@elevatormusic: How did you become such a steak savant?

SK: I guess I was just born this way. Lucky to come from a long line of talented grill masters.

@bryonongiraffes: When I see your steak, I picture Ryan Reynolds behind the camera.

SK: Thank you! Hopefully the real thing isn’t too much of a disappointment.

@stuartza: How many steaks can you eat in one sitting?

SK: Just one, I’m not some kind of savage.

@darksideofthegrill: Are you going to come with the Machine to Calgary AB to meet this Dark Side of the Grill and do a big beef?

SK: I would love to!

@beekokat: No question but request for more steak videos.

SK: You’re in luck! We are in the middle of shooting 2 right now.

@blazerbob: Are your steaks pre-tenderized or do you beat your own meat?

SK: Typically, I don’t really beat my meat. I tenderize with salt.

@wakkajr: Heavy is the head that wears the steak’s crown?

SK: As a matter of fact, yes. At 7.5, my hat size is a bit larger than average. This big noggin’ is heavier than most.

@loladesign_co: How much has Bert influenced your views on steak?

SK: He hasn’t influenced my views per se, but I do eat a hell of a lot more steak now.

@coronelmm: What makes a steak … great?

SK: Quality meat, good fat and salt. Let’s #makesteakgreatagain!

@joshdadams00: Why is Bert fat?

SK: That sounds like a question for Tom Segura.

@vdg_brian: How does the steak king feel about wild game steaks? Love wild game...

SK: I’m a city guy, so wild game doesn’t come around very often. But I'm always game for some good wild game. Send some on over!

@magduhlin: Steak? Steak? STEAK?

SK: Yes. Yes. YES!

@joshpmorales: T-bone or ribeye?

SK: They’re both great, but I like ribeye it has a little more fat - and fat is flavor.

@beto_1458: If you could have a steak show how would you run it? For example would it be comedic or educational?

SK: If I could get paid to do this, I could die happy. It would have to be a little of both. I’d also want to get more people involved with #steaknation. Maybe interview chefs, comedians, or … chef/comedians!

@jlowder2: Best garnish for a steak?

SK: One baby carrot.

@b_rad2o12: Favorite cut of beef you love to grill?

SK: I’m going to decline to answer this. I don’t want to make the other cuts of beef jealous.

@cod_5528: Can we see you on Bert’s cooking show? Maybe a Steak King takeover episode w Matty Matheson and Action Bronson?

SK: You, my friend, are a genius. I’d love nothing more.

@cain_iii: How much steak would the steak king eat if the steak king could eat as much steak as he could?

SK: About as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a could chuck wood.

@jamesgween: Best steak you’ve had in the past month from a restaurant?

SK: I’m going to hold off on answering this. I’m heading to Texas tonight - there’s definitely some good eatin’ in the motherland.

@thesinglegreenlight: What’s your favorite food?

SK: When I’m not eating steak, you can find me eating cheese enchiladas.

@hollman33: How do you know when your steaks are ready to have sex with?

SK: A gentleman never talks.

@hunter.satterwhite: Sous vide or no?

SK: I’ve never tried it, but I’m sous vide curious.

@tylerlindvall: What’s your worst advice on any topic?

SK: Believe everything you read online.

@katiecerniglia: If it’s not medium rare is it even steak?

SK: I think we all know the answer to that.

@jrdn_reed: Veggies?

SK: Sure! Anything in moderation!

@lbush: Dry or wet aged?

SK: Haven’t tried wet aged steak - but I do like the earthy flavor of dry aged.

@riknektar: What is Steak King’s favorite side with a beautiful steak?

SK: I’m simple - give me a caesar salad and a baked potato.

@heavy _ metal _ hunter: How do you get your steaks so juicy?

SK: My steak is naturally juicy.

@d_wheatley68: What is your cannot miss cut of steak?

SK: Bullseye cut.

@dajossel: How long do you rest your steaks?

SK: Depends on how tired they are.
