Does anyone else drink the steak "juice"?

[CanadaGirl]

I've got to admit, I love to drink the juice that collects as steak (or any meat,really) rests . My husband is disgusted by it, but to me it's like the most concentrate yummy meat essence possible.

Am I alone in this?

While I've been known to drink it, I'm a bread sopper. However, the bread needs to be buttered.

Oh yes. Salty and delicious!

I'm a southern boy, I sop it up with some bread product (roll, biscuit, bread, etc).

I reluctantly pour it over the plated steak so we can "shabu-shabu" at the table. If I thought I could get away with it I'd slurp it in the kitchen but then I'd feel guilty that I stole all that goodness from The Duke. Not that he'd notice but I'd know lol.

I'm a bread dunker when it comes to steak juice. Love the stuff.

Not if anyone's watching!

I do use it for Yorkshire pudding: if there's not enough fat from the meat, I mix it with butter and add to a milk/egg/flour mix and bake.

Imagine a whole bowl of hot steak juice and a spoon. I don't know that I'd even remember the steak in that case.

Only if the dogs let me, they have first dibs on the accumulation from the cutting board. But, if they are in the yard, I' ll take a spoon to the well and drink it like broth.

Ya mean they won't share it with you????

[bagelman01]

I mean my wife won't let me deny them a drop.......................

[iluvcookies]

I like to sop it up with bread. Mmm :)

[Kelli2006]

That task is what good bread is for.

[Motosport]

Oh boy do I!!!!! Grilled steaks go from the BBQ onto a platter. Guests choose their steaks and I remove the still warm platter from the table.
Out of sight from everone I slurp down the juice. Heavenly!!!
Have not been caught once.
Heaven help the "do gooder" who grabs the platter to put in the sink!!!!

Looks like your husband is the only one. I'll bet he doesn't eat the fat either.

[CanadaGirl]

Actually, he does eat the fat, while I excise any visible bits of uncrispy fat with surgical precision!!

[Shrinkrap]

My husband does that! I am getting him one of those jeweler eye loupes for Christmas.

I drink it. It is not to be muted by carbs.

[ferventfoodie]

When I was a kid, when the steak or roast was gone,we'd soak up the jus with bread (probably
Wonder!)

[AGM_Cape_Cod]

Same here though to this day we eat 'dunk' bread. A Puerto Rican co-worker in a restaurant kitchen I worked at called me 'vampira' for that habit.

Cook's privilege!

[pinehurst]

I don't "drink" it per se, but I do consume it, typically by dipping my veg or meat in it.

[Terrie H.]

I wouldn't use the term "drink" in my case, but I most certainly drizzle them over the plated steaks or add them to a pan sauce.

[1sweetpea]

If it isn't being used on the steak or in a sauce, jus or gravy, it's getting licked up by me.

[pdxgastro]

That's what the mashed potatoes are for. They're a sponge for meat juices. Nom nom.

[Terrie H.]

Yes!
