Have you ever seen a more majestic breakfast? 240g steak, 1 avocado, one smallish zucchini, 200g mushroom, two runny yolk eggs. Butter, salt, pepper. And now I won't eat until tomorrow! I also won't get hungry til then either

It’s glorious. Just out of curiosity; if you were to go out to a steak house for dinner, would you cut the entire steak into strips before eating?

No. Only reason I do it is to avoid using a plate.after it's rested I cut it on the chopping board and dump it back into the pan

I didn’t mean anything untoward about it mind I’ve been seeing a trend over the last year or so on Reddit food subs in which people pre cut steak. I occasionally ask why and receive some odd answers.

Your reasoning makes the most sense because you don’t have a plate to wash.

Colesworth et al have been pushing this for a couple of years now. It's a way to stretch 2 steaks over 3 or 4 people without them noticing or feeling deprived, courtesy of catering magic. Check out any of the coles or woollies magazines over the last 2 years - all the steaks are pre-cut into strips. It's becoming normal to not serve any one person a whole steak all to themselves. And the supply of steak on the bone has dropped dramatically in the stupormarkets.
