Description: **READ ME** A few years back, we raised some money and spent some time asking ourselves, "What would a Food Lab television show look like?" Like the column, the show would strive to communicate complex scientific concepts, and more importantly, show how understanding those concepts can improve your cooking. We pulled together a production team, and enlisted the help of former Serious Eats intern Katie Quinn to up the on-camera charisma factor, we wrote some scripts, and we shot and edited the episodes. Then...pretty much nobody saw them. This was our own fault—due to a partnership we made to get the series funded, we were unfortunately required to distribute them behind a paywall. That contract has since ended, and we're in the clear to do with them as we please. So here we are, releasing them to you one-by-one, for free. In this episode of the Food Lab video series, based on one of Kenji's most popular articles ever, we'll run a series of experiments to determine some truths about steak. We'll test resting steaks at room temperature (a technique that is, as it turns out, like the inside of a Tauntaun: lukewarm). We'll poke holes in the idea that searing locks in juice. You'll flip when you see how many times you should turn your steak while cooking (hint: not just once). What really is the best way to cook a steak? And will Kenji's cholesterol ever return to normal levels again?
