From our family kitchen — a XingAI Cook tutorial
His First Steak — Dad's Method, Step by Step
This page is personal. One night in our home kitchen, I taught my son to cook his very first steak — the family method I have used for years, handed over from my hands to his, step by step. No steakhouse, no bottled oil, no guesswork: the steak seared in its own rendered fat, basted with butter, rested, sliced, and finished back in the hot butter. Some things you pass down by cooking them together once. The Korean edition is embedded below; the Chinese edition follows on this page.

아들에게 가르치는 인생 첫 스테이크 — 아버지의 스테이크 비법, 한 단계씩
Ingredients
- Thick-cut steaks
- Salt
- Butter
- Green beans
- Garlic
- Chili flakes
The family method, step by step
- Trim the fat cap — but never throw the trimmings away.
- Salt the steak, and render the trimmings in the hot pan.
- Sear the steak in its own rendered fat.
- Flip once, and baste with butter.
- Rest, slice, and send the slices back into the hot butter for a glossy edge.
- On the side: green beans blanched, topped with garlic and chili, finished with a sizzle of hot oil.
- Bring it to the table — and when the butter lobster tails join, it is a full surf & turf.
An honest note: the narration states no temperatures or timings, so none are written here — everything on this page is what the video shows and says. The Chinese edition of this tutorial is filmed and on its way; it will be embedded here as soon as it is public.
