It’s time to get the #grill fired up, but first ….
I have been thinking about how to cook a steak with TNT.

My first conclusion is that it’s a bad idea if you are using really tender grass-fed #beef because the blast wave will shred it. But there are plenty of other cuts that need tenderizing and also require less control of the heat. Let’s designate those “alt-steak” for now.

Since the blast wave is traveling at supersonic speeds, you will have to rotate the alt-steak on a spit with enough velocity to expose the entire surface to the blast wave before it passes. That speed can be calculated. No doubt that optimizing the size the steak and the choice of explosive will help with predictable cooking.

The next challenge is the heat. Cooking a steak rare to medium-rare should not be hard, and you’ll have a good crust. Bye-bye grill marks, hello blast marks!

Why Beef Prices Won’t Drop Anytime Soon

Pressures at every stage of the 18-month supply chain are expected to keep prices high at least through year end

Bloomberg
