Why YSK: When you cook meat, any water on the surface must first evaporate before much browning can occur. You want to get as much of a Maillard reaction as possible in the limited cooking time you have before the meat reaches the correct internal temperature. Removing the moisture first means that the heat of the cooking surface isn’t wasted on evaporation and can instead interact with the meat to form the complex sugars and proteins of the Maillard reaction.
I am better than anyone who continues to eat beef. Don’t tell me what to do. There is ethical consumption.
What if I slaughter the cow myself?
It makes no difference.
So what are we supposed to do with all of the living cows? Isn’t the main problem with cattle farming the greenhouse gases that the cows release when they fart and poop? Can you explain what’s unethical, if that’s not the reason?
Make sure they cannot reproduce, no longer allow for new farms, ban cattle ranching.
