I mean genuinely yes, this looks amazing.
I might have to come out of hibernation for a meal like this lol.

Blackberry sauce for steaks is somewhat common, and delicious.
Sweet and savory do seem to be pretty complimentary flavors, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was delicious.
I used to think bears were cool but not after seeing this. Everyone knows the best way to eat a steak is charred and covered in vanilla yogurt.

YEAH!!!
and covered in vanilla yogurt.
Huh?!
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:
I buy mushrooms each time I get groceries just to make this stuff.
Might be interesting to try
I may be a bear…
This is mostly unrelated but a local restaurant makes their own ketchup with honey as the sweetener and it is the best goddamn ketchup I've ever had
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.
Hot honey on a ground beef patty sandwich. With some pickled squash and a big fat slice of nightshade berries? Fuck now im hungry.
Lingonberry jam is a common addition to veal here in Germany. Probably would fit steak just fine.
I always smother those IKEA meatballs in lingonberry jam. Delicious.
Also, I've heard of Lakota dishes that involve bison steaks drizzled with a blueberry reduction or compote. I've always wanted to try that.
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.

It tastes like feet!
Bears eat trash
Probably not a weirdo but almost certainly from USA
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.
"All 'muricans fat and dumb lol" 💁🏻♂️
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.
Looks like tri-tip, so most likely California, but could be Oregon or Washington.
There's this ancient Roman clay pot roast:
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.
Romans were the ones to create the term salary and salt was a commodity due to it's use in preserving food.
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.
Keto or caveman diet. Looks good.
