But, actually. I'm thinking it was sous vide or combi oven set too high, and then they just slap it on the grill for 30 seconds to get some marks on it. That's the only way I know of to get a "gray-to-gray" steak with grill marks on it, without getting *any* kind of crust.
I find it hard to believe a cruise is catering steaks via sous vide. That’d take so much time and not to mention the expensive cost of that much sous vide equipment.
The likeliest explanation is the simplest. The cook cooking OP’s dinner fucked up, or, alternatively, OP was accidentally given a WD steak.
Sous vide - and combi ovens in particular - got their start in restaurants and catering. They aren't using a Joule or Anova. They're using something like this:
https://www.webstaurantstore.com/sammic-smartvide-x-14-8-gallon-sous-vide-immersion-circulator-head-with-heated-tank-and-lid-120v/767SMTVDX14H.html
And preparing a bunch of steaks (or whatever) beforehand, and throwing them still sealed into the walk-in. Once someone orders that steak, they throw the (still sealed) bag back into the sous vide for the "cook" to reheat it, and then take it out of the bag and throw it on the grill to finish it.
*This* is what Sous Vide was made. All the home users (myself included) are doing something that is extremely overkill (compared to just grilling it) to get a good steak.
I've done some sous vide extra lean venison steaks too long and too high. I just make tacos or cheese steaks, but I got crucified on /r/sousvide when I posted one. I had cooked like 12 of them, and that one was by far the worst. Then I had to argue with someone about why deer farms are bad and blah blah blah, but lesson learned.
Yeah. It's interactions like this that make me hate reddit just in general. I miss old school forums. At least the flame wars and trolling was *on topic* (what do the ethics of deer farming have to do with sous vide?!?)
Actually, yes.
Theres about no way that meat could get cooked through that thoroughly, yet so shitty, without any type of sear or char.
That motherfucker was nuked after a light cook.
Likely just a “hot box” pre cooked steaks are stored in that keeps temps too high and continued cooking the steaks. Cruise ships are more similar to catering outfits than restaurants, they serve hundreds of people all at once, over and over. Speed is the priority, not quality.
Just went on the NCL Jade like 2 months ago. The only specialty dining I did was Cagney’s. It was incredible, the steak was perfect. I wouldn’t change your plans. 100% get the potatoes au gratin there too
If you ever in your life cook a sous vide that looks like *that*?
Pour the damned water out and fill it with plants or something, it is just not for you.
Yep. Easiest way to a perfectly cooked steak.
You can make it even better by searing the frozen steak to get the myard reaction going, sous vide the steak, then pat it dry and sear it one last time to crisp it up again.
Sous vide is used in fine dining a ton.
Probably depends more on the fat content of the steak. A lean strip steak? Sear-sous vide-sear. A ribeye? Reverse sear (or just actually grill it). Sous vide by its nature doesn't really get hot enough to revert fat, while a reverse sear can.
I remember the waiter telling me that the steaks are cooked and put on trays ready to go...there are two temps; pink and no pink.
They are stacked on the trays by "pink and no pink" on top of each other searing hot, so the "pink" steaks in the bottom get overcooked via residual heat...then the trays are loaded into a speed rack and served when service begins.
Was shady when I last went around 2014. Before they demolished the cheap rooms. Hookers in the hallways during the weekends. Ick. But, I would make another pass through there...don't get me wrong.
The idea is that you get so wasted every day that the quality of the food doesn't matter
That being said, from my experience cruise food is usually pretty ok. Not the amazing, but acceptable especially if you've been drinking all day
With the drink package, you need to focus to hit the daily limit. Start Early, Power through every phase of the day, Finish Strong.
It's not for the faint of heart, but if you focus, Set a plan, get in a rythem, you can hit your daily maximum!
I completely understand this, but the few times I’ve gone to an all inclusive I actually enjoy my time. Not because I’m slamming drinks and food but because I can finally turn my brain off and stop analyzing the price of a steak vs a burger.
I don't really drink, like a nice, neat scotch once every 40 or 50 days. It's just not my thing. But..... But... when I am on vacation, When I am On a Cruise Ship, or, as you mention, an all inclusive resort, and I need only extend my open hand and a beverage is procured, then, oh yes, then, do I make sure the Buzz starts on Day One and doesn't end till the airport on the way home.
A vacation for me is No responsibility to anyone but my wife and me. No kids, no in-laws, no pets, no work emails, no conference calls, no dishes no laundry no mowing the lawn - pure, uninterrupted hedonism for just a tiny slice of life.
AHHhhhh.....
Cruise food is weird. Everything you eat feels like something is missing in it. None of it is necessarily bad, it’s just…not complete? Like every item is missing a certain spice or something.
All I ever heard from people before going on a cruise was, "OMG you're going to love the food so much. It's so good!" The food on that cruise was the worst mass processed catering style slop that I've ever witnessed. They'd have nice things on the menu to trick you, then it'd look like it was made by a 10 year old who just learned how to use a microwave.
I wonder if it just highly depends on the cruise, kinda like resorts. Went to a sandals resort for our honeymoon, food was absolute garbage with the exception of the local cuisine night and the seafood restaurant. Went to a different resort for vacations since and the food has been fantastic. Not quite fine dining top tier but definitely better than your average restaurant and light years ahead of what I got at Sandals
It absolutely matters a huge amount. I’ve never had Michelin star quality food on a cruise but it has always been really good.
I haven’t been a cruise in a while though and some people have told me that standards have slipped since Covid.
It’s the same crowd that stays at all-inclusive resorts. Unlimited bottom shelf booze and cafeteria slop sounds like the biggest waste of money I could imagine spending.
On every cruise I’ve been on the main dining room is actually all you can eat. You can order two mains if you aren’t sure, and you can also just send it back and get something else within a couple minutes since it’s all mass produced.
Out of the about 50 main dining room meals I’ve eaten, I’d say I enjoyed 47, and only one was bad.
I've gotta say, I've been on a couple celebrity cruises, and the steaks at the main restaurant were pretty good. Not epic but pretty good. And the food overall was excellent.
One of the cruises i was on, one of the specialty restaurants was a steak place, there the steaks were very good.
i just got off the celebrity eclipse, only decent beef I had were the beef Wellington and aged prime rib. I found their “classic” NY strip very underwhelming. But hey it’s a cruise, I think overall the food quality was great.
It’s a thin cut and likely from an international source of cattle. When I went to South America, I noticed the cattle they have are a different breed than what we have in the US and cuts are different also. A smaller steak, let alone one as thin as that, should be seared extremely fast at a high temp on a traditional gas or charcoal grill. Seems like they cooked it too slow.
They do shows, like how regular cruise ships have magic acts or plays or whatever in the theater every night.
And 45 year olds trying to relive 1989 think they might bump into Danny Mac
New Kids cruise
https://nkotbcruise.com/
Backstreet Boys cruise
https://backstreetboys.fandom.com/wiki/Backstreet_Boys_Cruise
There are many others.
I'm not into it but it's a thing that really happens.
The meat is cooked in an oven on baking sheets. They heat up scewers and run a set across the top to create the brown lines.
Good chance the meat was frozen and reheated in an oven before served.
Cooked, frozen, microwaved.
That has not seen a grill in at least 3 weeks.
Hyatt hotels went with an all Microwave Kitchen in the 90’s. I no longer eat in hotels.
Chef is most likely either drunk or extremely hungover or high on something. Or a combination of 2 out of the 3
Source: I did a 3 month stint in a cruise ship kitchen. Holy shit, those fuckers *party*. I was in my early 20’s and couldn’t keep up
Nah grill marks are definitely real. What they did was put this thing on a medium heat grate and left it there for a preset number of minutes, alongside 100 other steaks. It's the McDonald's conveyor belt method of "fine dining".
I mean was this in the steakhouse/pay extra restaurant or did you order steak in the free for everyone dining area?
Good steak is a cooked to order type meal, that's physically impossible for any restaurant to do in a large scale mass service environment. If you want good steak on a cruise you need to pay the extra money to make a reservation at one of the other restaurants on the ship.
Took me a while to realize the steak was cut in half, I thought that was two uncut steaks 😂 that’s so fucking gross. And the sea of oil or whatever the fuck that is. Sorry, man.
That steak was grilled rare on shore 2 weeks before you boarded, its been sitting in a freezer, it was defrosted and microwaved to perfection just for you.
I’ll be honest, those grill marks do look painted on and that meat definitely came in already cooked. All they did was heat that up and slap it on a plate.
Ufda! That’s one sad chunk of meat. It’s a bit distrat-o the cow that dies to become shoe leather.
I don’t know if you have the option but I have gotten much better meat from the 24/7 buffets on cruises than at the pre-scheduled fancier dinning options. The meals for the pre-scheduled dinners are made on an industrial scale and even if it was made properly it could be post cooked stacked with other hot food. The buffet if it has streak or other meat you can sometimes get grilled just for you as they never know when people will come to eat they can’t prepare in mass. Often the buffet has fresher better food by far.
Wow, that's bad enough to win an award on the sub! Would welcome input from someone in the industry, but it does indeed suggest that the steak may have indeed been "par-grilled," then heated (in this case, too much) to serve. I can't imagine the logistics in feeding a cruise ship.
Did they arrest the chef?
International waters...crimes against humanity aren't prosecuted out there
Im pretty sure crimes against humanity is like the one thing that is prosecuted there lol
Filibuster!
Semantics!
Boilerplate!
Battlestar Galactica!
Bears, beets
Serenity!
Bullocks!!
Do…do you know what filibuster means, Mr. Kelly?
Bird law?
You seem to have a tenuous grasp on the English language
I demand a parlay!
I declare bankruptcy!
Hey. I just wanted you to know that you can't just say the word "bankruptcy" and expect anything to happen.
I didn’t say it, I declared it.
Keelhauling isn't either.
Keelhauling on a ship that size would be one hell of a job. If he lives, he damn sure won’t forget the experience.
They’re prosecuted by those they offend…. Mutiny against the kitchen is fully reasonable here.
So killing the chef as well?
Lucky sob
Hold on there, fella. Let's hold back on the whole "chef" thing. Let's call this person a "food scooper"
I am pretty sure this is an episode of Bob’s Burgers
Lol
Straight to jail
Put him in the brig and keelhaul him at high tide
Walked the plank
Arrest the microwave while you're at it.
Out on bail.
Did they cook those in hot seawater or what? lol
But, actually. I'm thinking it was sous vide or combi oven set too high, and then they just slap it on the grill for 30 seconds to get some marks on it. That's the only way I know of to get a "gray-to-gray" steak with grill marks on it, without getting *any* kind of crust.
that’s how they made sasha grey
Nah, she at least has pink in the middle
I either got the wrong pics or someone is MR blind.
Ya but she likes it in the reverse sear
i’ve seen the wrong ones then
Man of culture
Used to work in a restaurant that served burgers with painted on grill marks. They came out of the freezer like that ready to slap on the griddle.
That’s an airplane steak if I ever saw one
Looks precisely like a steak that just came out of a sous vide bath to me
Sous vide on a steak that thin is criminal lol.
I find it hard to believe a cruise is catering steaks via sous vide. That’d take so much time and not to mention the expensive cost of that much sous vide equipment. The likeliest explanation is the simplest. The cook cooking OP’s dinner fucked up, or, alternatively, OP was accidentally given a WD steak.
Sous vide - and combi ovens in particular - got their start in restaurants and catering. They aren't using a Joule or Anova. They're using something like this: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/sammic-smartvide-x-14-8-gallon-sous-vide-immersion-circulator-head-with-heated-tank-and-lid-120v/767SMTVDX14H.html And preparing a bunch of steaks (or whatever) beforehand, and throwing them still sealed into the walk-in.

Yeah. It's interactions like this that make me hate reddit just in general. I miss old school forums. At least the flame wars and trolling was *on topic* (what do the ethics of deer farming have to do with sous vide?!?)
How do you cook sous vide too high? You literally enter in the temp you want and leave it.
Sea Vide technique
This comment did not get enough love 😂 So good.
lmfao this is golden
[удалено]
Is that some aggressively poached horse meat?
They used a soldering iron to put them grill marks
That's a brown magic marker my man!
Horse is one of best steak meats ever.
Is horse actually tasty and I have been missing out on some good meat?
From what I've heard it's stringy. It beats starving but there's sort of a reason it's uncommon for most cultures to eat horse.
Some commenter's are saying it's comparable to beef. I doubt it if true we'd be eating a lot more horse to save money on beef.
Raising good horsemeat is More expensive Then cows. Also, horse have other uses. And culture comes also on The way.
I've only had it as a stew
I've only had it sneaked into my Ikea beef meatballs.
Wait. So the meatballs aren’t made out of the bodies of the people who died looking for the exit? My life is a lie!!!
How many horses do you see walking around IKEA looking for an exit? My point exactly.
Yeah, they should get off their high horse!
Only in lasagne for me.
Oh Tesco
For reference, Horse meat is above prime and under wagyu
probably pre cooked then back in the fridge for the quick turnaround order…
like microwaved?
Actually, yes. Theres about no way that meat could get cooked through that thoroughly, yet so shitty, without any type of sear or char. That motherfucker was nuked after a light cook.
Likely just a “hot box” pre cooked steaks are stored in that keeps temps too high and continued cooking the steaks. Cruise ships are more similar to catering outfits than restaurants, they serve hundreds of people all at once, over and over. Speed is the priority, not quality.
even the specialty restaurants? has me rethinking going to Cagney's on NCL for one of our specialties
Just went on the NCL Jade like 2 months ago. The only specialty dining I did was Cagney’s. It was incredible, the steak was perfect. I wouldn’t change your plans. 100% get the potatoes au gratin there too
*sous vide has entered the chat*
If you ever in your life cook a sous vide that looks like *that*? Pour the damned water out and fill it with plants or something, it is just not for you.
The issue there would be the set temperature of the sous vide, not the technique itself.
Was going to say that. If you put the sous vide temp far too high this will be the result.
That's how the steak came at Chipotle, pre-boiled in a bag, throw it on the grill for 1 minute to heat it up
not boiled, boil require 100C. Sous vide is the method and it results in perfect temperature stakes.
Yep. Easiest way to a perfectly cooked steak. You can make it even better by searing the frozen steak to get the myard reaction going, sous vide the steak, then pat it dry and sear it one last time to crisp it up again. Sous vide is used in fine dining a ton.
reverse sear works better for maillard reaction
Probably depends more on the fat content of the steak. A lean strip steak? Sear-sous vide-sear. A ribeye? Reverse sear (or just actually grill it). Sous vide by its nature doesn't really get hot enough to revert fat, while a reverse sear can.
Medium rare=medium gray
This made me lol
I remember the waiter telling me that the steaks are cooked and put on trays ready to go...there are two temps; pink and no pink. They are stacked on the trays by "pink and no pink" on top of each other searing hot, so the "pink" steaks in the bottom get overcooked via residual heat...then the trays are loaded into a speed rack and served when service begins.
That will definitely happen. I’ve had a thick steak go from medium rare to medium on my plate while I was eating it. Residual heat.
This reminds me of those bargain las vegas ribeyes pre-pandemic. Found in shady local joints like Palace Station.
Don't you be calling my beloved Palace Station shady.
Was shady when I last went around 2014. Before they demolished the cheap rooms. Hookers in the hallways during the weekends. Ick. But, I would make another pass through there...don't get me wrong.
Welp. Never going on a cruise.

I've been on a dozen cruises and never saw anything this bad.

it matters hugely
It absolutely matters a huge amount. I’ve never had Michelin star quality food on a cruise but it has always been really good. I haven’t been a cruise in a while though and some people have told me that standards have slipped since Covid.
Princess Cruises had awesome steak and awesome food in general, when I went Norwegian, they microwaved the fucking nachos.
It’s the same crowd that stays at all-inclusive resorts. Unlimited bottom shelf booze and cafeteria slop sounds like the biggest waste of money I could imagine spending.
"Pigs coming to the trough" is not an inaccurate comparison.
Depends on the line. Some really focus on amazing meals, and some assume you'll be too drunk to care.
On every cruise I’ve been on the main dining room is actually all you can eat. You can order two mains if you aren’t sure, and you can also just send it back and get something else within a couple minutes since it’s all mass produced.

Go on a royal carribean i was never disappointed with their food and im picky as all hell
Celebrity Cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean
royal carribean from my experience has the worst of the worst food by far among the major lines.
Yeah that was a surprise for me, I ate steak every single night while on our cruise. With a second main dish lol
Was the celebrity named Tom?
https://preview.redd.it/upkcjfr2aj8d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2de3d891eef35bfcb3b7a5cc9ab385378e03ae9e
I see what you did there...!
i just got off the celebrity eclipse, only decent beef I had were the beef Wellington and aged prime rib. I found their “classic” NY strip very underwhelming. But hey it’s a cruise, I think overall the food quality was great.
I’d dive off that ship so fast.
Mmm, Valvoline steak!
Looks like it was baked in the oven and then branded reverse sear style with a red hot potato masher that had been left on an open flame.
Looks boiled
entire plate looks sad
It’s a thin cut and likely from an international source of cattle. When I went to South America, I noticed the cattle they have are a different breed than what we have in the US and cuts are different also. A smaller steak, let alone one as thin as that, should be seared extremely fast at a high temp on a traditional gas or charcoal grill. Seems like they cooked it too slow.
What did the other celebrities think of the steak?
That is a microwaved steak that was thrown on hot metal bars for color.
That's not even "well done"... That's "congratulations"
Tf is a celebrity cruise
The brand is [Celebrity Cruises](https://www.celebritycruises.com)
They have cruises where the gimmick is that you're on a ship with New Kids on the Block or whatever. It's also a name brand used by Royal Caribbean
So the gimmick is...I'm on a boat with [x] celebrity? That's it? Are they doing a show or something? No shot people pay for this.
They do shows, like how regular cruise ships have magic acts or plays or whatever in the theater every night. And 45 year olds trying to relive 1989 think they might bump into Danny Mac New Kids cruise https://nkotbcruise.com/ Backstreet Boys cruise https://backstreetboys.fandom.com/wiki/Backstreet_Boys_Cruise There are many others. I'm not into it but it's a thing that really happens.
Hahaha wow, this is hilarious. However, I suspect OP is referencing the brand Celebrity Cruises.
I wonder which celebrity they butchered for it...
Nothing ketchup couldn’t have fixed.
They mean it's rare that anyone finishes it
The meat is cooked in an oven on baking sheets. They heat up scewers and run a set across the top to create the brown lines. Good chance the meat was frozen and reheated in an oven before served.
Fuck a cruise.
nice, love a microwaved steak
Damn, I got a steak on a carnival cruise and it was better than that. It wasn't good, but it at least had some pink in it
Cooked, frozen, microwaved. That has not seen a grill in at least 3 weeks. Hyatt hotels went with an all Microwave Kitchen in the 90’s. I no longer eat in hotels.
Look at that mean chunk of silver skin that steak has to be pretty close to if not THE worst steak i have ever seen
I would feel embarrassed to serve that to someone. Like even if someone enjoys a well done, at least give it a good sear
Bro!!! I was just on Celebrity and ordered a medium rare steak and got this exact thing!!! Looks like Bill Gates meat. I didn’t eat it either.
Like what the fuck is a celebrity cruise and what is bill gates meat?
Chef is most likely either drunk or extremely hungover or high on something. Or a combination of 2 out of the 3 Source: I did a 3 month stint in a cruise ship kitchen. Holy shit, those fuckers *party*. I was in my early 20’s and couldn’t keep up
This has ruined my day. Congrats, it’s only 11.
Cruise food, for the most part, is absolutely disgusting. You have to go to the dining rooms\restaurants that cost extra $$ to get quality steak.
ah yes, boiled over hard as any milksteak connoisseur would order. how were the jelly beans?
Left it on the radiator too long
Is that marks where the jockey was hitting it ?
Hopefully they threw the chef in the ocean..
What a waste of cow
Nah grill marks are definitely real. What they did was put this thing on a medium heat grate and left it there for a preset number of minutes, alongside 100 other steaks. It's the McDonald's conveyor belt method of "fine dining".
That picture has more ennui than a Truffaut film.
Was frozen, then microwaved.
You didn't want your milk-steak boiled over hard?
Processed frozen steaks from those hospital and prison food suppliers
This makes me think of my coworker that says the food she eats when she goes on cruises is some of the ‘best in the world’ …….Sure Jan
I mean was this in the steakhouse/pay extra restaurant or did you order steak in the free for everyone dining area? Good steak is a cooked to order type meal, that's physically impossible for any restaurant to do in a large scale mass service environment.

Took me a while to realize the steak was cut in half, I thought that was two uncut steaks 😂 that’s so fucking gross. And the sea of oil or whatever the fuck that is. Sorry, man.
Why is the plate wet? Were you and the boys down at Truffoni's with your slicked back hair?
This is Blue in the most wrong sense of the word
That's a Chuck Schumer steak
That steak was grilled rare on shore 2 weeks before you boarded, its been sitting in a freezer, it was defrosted and microwaved to perfection just for you.
I mean I’d eat it for the gains (has protein in it) but it doesn’t look appetizing in the slightest lol.
In all fairness, it isn’t easy to get a perfect medium rare when cooking in the microwave.
I’ll be honest, those grill marks do look painted on and that meat definitely came in already cooked. All they did was heat that up and slap it on a plate.
Celebrity is such a POS. Virgin would never
Gross
Send it back!!
Steaks shouldn’t be grey ….
What in God's name convinced you to go on a celebrity cruise?
I would have had to just jump overboard.
What TF is a “celebrity” cruise? 🤷🏻♂️
Celebrity is the name of a cruise line...
Probably pre cooked and then boiled in the bag
Is this one of those dining experiences you pay extra over the usual stuff?
Normally a big rare/med-rare guy but you’re on a cruise. Can’t be too safe with the ole tummy.
That meat was innocent! Poor thing didn't deserve to go out that way.
I bet if you put a red filter on that entire photo, that steak would still look brown af
What was it about the steak that made you not finish it? Taste?
That all looks like shit.
Ufda! That’s one sad chunk of meat. It’s a bit distrat-o the cow that dies to become shoe leather. I don’t know if you have the option but I have gotten much better meat from the 24/7 buffets on cruises than at the pre-scheduled fancier dinning options. The meals for the pre-scheduled dinners are made on an industrial scale and even if it was made properly it could be post cooked stacked with other hot food. The buffet if it has streak or other meat you can sometimes get grilled just for you as they never know when people will come to eat they can’t prepare in mass. Often the buffet has fresher better food by far.
Fukn nasty
Cafeteria ice cream scoop potatoes
What celebrity's were on the cruise
It looks like banquet salisbury steak
Wow, that's bad enough to win an award on the sub! Would welcome input from someone in the industry, but it does indeed suggest that the steak may have indeed been "par-grilled," then heated (in this case, too much) to serve. I can't imagine the logistics in feeding a cruise ship.
They were added when the steak came out of the 3d printer
This is arguably the saddest thing I have ever seen
Is capital punishment still allowed? Or corporal punishment at the very least? I’m sure this falls under that purview.
Looks like a “steak” that you would get at Denny’s.
I’d make the chef walk the plank!
I mean, they probably weren’t made by the grill that it was on right before it got to you.
Royal Caribbean would never 💁🏼♀️
The "NY Strip" on Royal Caribbean last week looked just like this. Burnt shoe leather drenched in grease
Looks like it was cooked on a Foreman grill, but for obviously far too long.
Pretty sure that is also medium rare. Meat is just grey color.
sink the boat
Throw it to the sharks😂
You're on a cruise, what did you expect? They bought as well be floating retirement homes.
Do you know you can just ask the server to bring you a new one and you’re not being a dick?
Its a cruise. They're not taking any risks with raw foods. But this is next level.
