Hilary Duff'S Steak Saga: When Rare Is Too Rare

Hilary Duff's Unconventional Steak Preference

Hilary Duff is spicing up more than just her wings on the latest episode of Hot Ones. Known for its fiery challenges, the show took an unexpected turn when the conversation shifted from spicy wings to Duff's infamous steak preferences. Host Sean Evans didn't hold back, asking Duff about her fondness for steaks so rare that even her friends shy away. Her response? A vivid, if slightly unsettling, description: “I grew up with a mom and dad saying they like their steak to where a good vet could get it back on its feet.”

The Technique That's Stirring Controversy

While battling the heat of a 120,000-Scoville hot sauce, Duff laid out her steak-cooking method. It's a straightforward process: salt both sides, heat up a cast-iron pan until it's smoking, add beef tallow, season the steak, weigh it down, cook for four minutes on each side, let it rest, and finish with a hefty pinch of salt. But the internet, never shy about sharing opinions, quickly fired back. "4 MINUTES EACH SIDE!!! That's not mega rare," one commenter exclaimed. Another puzzled user asked, "How do you cook your steak for eight minutes and make it rare?"

“If it ain’t mooin’ you don’t want it!” encapsulates the rare steak devotion some people have.

The Debate Rages On

The online community seems divided, with some questioning Duff's interpretation of 'rare,' while others share their own family anecdotes of steak lore. One person reminisced, "My dad told a server one day, ‘walk it through a warm room.’" While Duff's technique holds its own in the world of steak cooking, her comments have ignited a debate about whether her cooking time aligns with the ultra-rare steak she claims to love. Given the circumstances – trying to articulate her cooking process while enduring the wrath of scorching hot sauce – it's fair to say Duff deserves a bit of leniency.

Despite the heated debate, one thing's for sure: Hilary Duff has managed to turn a simple steak recipe into a sizzling topic of conversation.
