Are those not onion strings? And where can I get them?

If you want to make them at home they are pretty easy. Just seasoned flour and onions, use buttermilk for extra crisp.

Looks like shoestring onions to me.

EDIT: I'm now realizing that shoestring onions and onion strings are exactly the same thing, my new fact for the day

What the hell is wrong with a plate? You gotta cut and eat that thing on that tiny plank of wood?

There is a subreddit for that, I can’t remember the name, but it’s dedicated to mocking food plated on things that are not plates.

If I'm paying $100pp for a steak dinner, I'm asking them to put that on a plate.

Plates don't soak in all that juicy bacteria like a wooden dish does

So if that piece of wood was just cut into a circle instead you wouldn't have a problem with it?

Some people are so weird about this. It's not a big deal to literally anyone other than the weirdos on that subreddit.

Here's the problem, from a restaurant perspective. Wood is porous and difficult to clean properly. Thats why wood cutting boards aren't allowed under many health codes. Like many of the items used for "plates" these days you have to ask how was this cleaned after the last guy used it?

Same question: if that odd cupped plank shape was ceramic, and still just barely large enough to hold all of those items, would you have a problem with it? It is literally more expensive and less useful than a plate.

The size is one thing. It's too small. Agreed.

The people who see food on non-ceramic/glass and throw a hissy fit like they've been somehow duped are weird and ill never see eye to eye with them.

Yeah the wood has nothing to do with it for me. It is the shape and size. Even a wooden bowl would be better than this.

Not to mention the bacteria that’s ingrained in that plank

I'd love to see how it's cooked in the middle

JohnRichJ2 t1_j1hokii wrote

usually it’s heated from the outside and the heat travels through the meat to cook the middle.

I can feel the bounce in that steak just by seeing that photo. I vote medium/rare

Onion straws, or just fried onions

Nice steak but I'm more intrigued by the onion (st)rings.

ashtobro t1_j1h1sti wrote

I don't typically like onion rings, but those onion "strings" look pretty damn appetizing to me. They look like crinkle-cut fries, as opposed to the breaded sonic rings that are hit or miss for my taste.

Sauce looks like peanut sauce but yum

If it's like a satay it could be alright.

As long as it's not like George Washington's peanut soup we good

The looks like filet mignon au pouive! A steakhouse near me has something similar!

kanyeguisada t1_j1h10yn wrote

It doesn't though. No visible pepper and that sauce on the side doesn't look white enough to be a cream cognac sauce.

You ate onion rings with filet mignon

This looks very nice. Clearly a decent mid/high end restaurant. So why, WHY, did they not de-stem the friggin spinach?

Those onion rings look so good!

I don’t mean to yuck anyone’s yum now partner, but that steak looks drier than a stiff noodle.

Sacrilege to overcook a steak like that.

deeringc t1_j1hlycm wrote

Who says it's overcooked? It's just seared. We can't tell for sure from the photo how the centre is, I'd wager it's at most medium - it's a thick cut.

I have no issue with your comment but I downvoted you because I like piling on. Merry Christmas!
