    Blackberry sauce for steaks is somewhat common, and delicious.

    Lingonberry jam is really popular with meat here in Sweden. Potatoes, meat, jam, and gravy.

    Idk if there's a less appetizing word that can come before beef than boiled. Or any meat really.

    You can say "braised" if you want to pretend it isn't boiled. Technically a braise should be done slower at a lower heat, but yeah, still cooking meat with water.

    Braising means two steps though. You brown it first and then simmer in liquid not boil. It's also usually not water, you'd typically use wine, stock or even beer, but not water. So no, not the same.

    Wine/stock/beer are just fancy water, and simmering is just wimpy boiling.

    Pretty samey.

    No sear=no maillard=waaaaay less flavor. Also braising things usually aren't fully submerged, so they can actually keep developing maillard in the oven. Wine, stock, and beer all also have and impart actual flavor, unlike plain water. Of course you can boil with those things, but then you need a lot more of them, which is more expensive/wasteful. Drastically different results using different ingredients and equipment means not really samey at all imo.

    Sweet and savory do seem to be pretty complimentary flavors, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was delicious.

    Reminds me of one of my favorite ways to eat vanilla ice cream: with olive oil and a bit of sea salt. I get a lot of grief for this, but I learned about it ages ago in an old Cracked (.com) article and it is really good.

    I've been adding maple syrup to dishes as a sweetener and it can turn out pretty great. Like the sautéed mushrooms I made last night:

    • Dice up some onions (white or green both work well) and a hot thai pepper (or more to your preferred spice level). I also chopped a half a carrot up very finely.
    • Heat a pan and add some oil and one piece of the onion you cut up. When it is sizzling, add the chopped stuff from the last step and sauté for a couple mins, then add the mushrooms.
    • Stir it like once a minute. Allow the pieces to sear a bit but not burn. Adjust the temp to work this way.
    • Add some salt, chili powder, worchestershire sauce, cook the water away. Do the same with some lemon juice. If I had to guess, I'd say I used like a teaspoon of each.
    • Now add some maple syrup, just enough to cover the middle part before it spreads out and sizzles a lot. Stir it well and reduce it.
    • Finally add some sort of milk. I used almond milk but I'm sure any will work. Not that much of it (not worth opening a can of coconut milk, though I bet it would work great if you have one already open), it should turn a brown colour and reduce pretty quickly, leaving a delicious creamy mushroom sauce that goes well with steak or on its own. Dairy free, too, if you used anything other than dairy milk.

    I buy mushrooms each time I get groceries just to make this stuff.

    I make bread and pizza dough with honey or molasses instead of sugar and it's fantastic. Honey is always better than sugar -- except in coffee.

    Lingonberry jam is a common addition to veal here in Germany. Probably would fit steak just fine.

    Not weird at all, they're eating like many hunter-gatherer societies used to. It was very common to season meat with fruits and honey.

    I love honey, berries and wouldn't mind having them with a steak. I'm not American. I often put honey in meaty foods I make. Also I did actually put some bilberry (proper blueberry) based hotsauce as well. And the meat was horse. And again. Not American.

    What makes you think they have to be American? I'd understand if it was like spray-cheese or hfcs or even maple syrup, but idk what about this shouts American? Just curious not flaming.

    I don't think one would necessarily get fat by eating this, even with the drizzle of honey. It's mostly leanish meat and fruit, that's not too bad.

    And contrary to popular belief one has to be a not-entirely dumb to be able to cook a good steak.

    It seems that adding sugar, maple syrup etc to any savoury food is quite American, obviously the trend has taken off in many countries, it may not be unique to the US now, but sugar in savoury foods, lack of vegetables, and frying everything seem to be hallmarks of a lot of US cuisine

    Yeah I'd agree with most of that.

    But honey is a pretty traditional additive to lots of foods, even savoury ones. More common with pork perhaps than beef but still.

    And the berries, while being also quite high in sugar, aren't exactly unhealthy either.

    Idk man I just feel like American always has something processed or at least fat dripping off or like bread that's soaked in fat. This hasn't got anything processed.

    There's this ancient Roman clay pot roast:

    • Fill 1/3 with salt
    • Add roast
    • Fill the other 2/3, add lid
    • roast it
    • drizzle honey over the slices

    It's tasty, has a nice crust.

    Edit: removed my wrong guess.

    Salt is one of the oldest commodities. It has no shelf life and can be gathered at the edge of the ocean or dried lake, like a salt flat.

    Braised(not the right word but closest i think exists in english) flakes of reindeer(or venison/moose if good quality reindeer is not available) with lingonberries (mash or jam, depending on the season) and mashed potatoes made with ungodly amounts of butter.

    That is the best way to eat meat so yes, meat and berries is extremely good

  • In English:

    Braising: A method of cooking meat moist but not immersed in a fluid, often broth or wine, in a tightly sealed vessel over low heat for a long time, often used to soften tougher cuts of meat by rendering connective tissue into gelatin. "Roasts" are often braised. Compare with stewing, in which meat is cooked immersed in a fluid; contrast with barbecuing in which meat is cooked at low heat for a long time in a vented chamber flooded with smoke from a wood fire.

    Brazing: A method of joining two pieces of metal by hard soldering using bronze as a filler material. The base objects are heated to cherry red, flux is applied to eliminate any oxides and bronze filler is applied to wet the surfaces and when cooled strongly bond them. Contrast with welding where the edges of the base materials are heated to melting and the puddles allowed to flow together such that when cooled they form one object. Brazing is often done when joining dissimilar base metals which cannot be successfully welded.

    Anyone who tells you 'cavemen' ate mostly steak/meat is an idiot or trying to sell something.
    And the honey and berries would destroy a keto diet.

    But this is minimally processed real foods, so that's cool.
