if properly rested, a steak should never be hot, just barely warmish.
i see your point about the steak topping the romaine seeming a bit strange, but the meat wasn’t really “over” the lettuce, as much as the lettuce was added at the last minute to “surround” the meat, not in a mood to bother with salad dressing and then to carry two separate plates to the table…
THANK YOU! I totally agree and tell this to everyone. Steak shouldn’t ever be piping hot off the grill or oven/stove. Didn’t the lettuce wilt pretty quickly though?
don’t forget to everyone that it’s not about the temperature per se, but that the heat makes the juices circulate within, so if a steak is cut open while hot then the juices all run out. if the steak cools down during the resting period, the juices are reabsorbed into the meat!
i added the lettuce afterwards, at the last minute, so it was okay.
was the steak chilled? or room temp? or hot over romaine? the last sounds like it would be odd and may not be deserving of a 2.0.

again, you comment on the oddest things…
