The butter doesn't go bad from being cooked in. Help me please, where does the 'waste' come in or the hesitation? Go big or go home, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead, etc. Ya wanna finish this life slidin' into home plate with a grin - doncha?!   I was raised Lutheran in the tundra - I can't help but feel guilty about using that much butter for one meal.  What would I do with the butter when I'm done? It won't be bad, I realize, but I usually use butter for cakes and sweets. I guess it would give new meaning to the term "beefcake!" Of course, I have 10 pounds of pork fat in my freezer (still) - I suppose I could poach the steaks in that...

Tim wrote: Delmonico's pan cooks their dry-aged steaks in lots of butter, basting as they go. They sear and continue under fairly high heat. There is an interesting thread on this method on eGullet.
I followed that thread and actually tried the technique out. I have a reasonable batting average when cooking, but everyone has to miss sometime ... I ended up overcooking it, and though it wasn't bad, it basically tasted like roast beef. Pretty decent roast beef, but still roast beef, not steak. Someday I'll give it another go.

There's an article in today's New York Post (no, I don't read this paper, it was linked to from one of my cooking-related corporate "friends" on Facebook). The Post calls this butter-poached lobster the "Greatest Dish in the World". Amy

Amy,
Have you revealed one of your guilty pleasures??? If it was in the Post, it must be true!
Tim
ps: Amy's response to my kidding includes information about Telluride's new subway, no not the restaurant.
