My medium rare “steak” on a celebrity cruise. One of the few steaks put in front of me I just couldn’t eat. I’m convinced the grill marks were painted on.

Did they arrest the chef?

Did they cook those in hot seawater or what? lol

Is that some aggressively poached horse meat?

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.

This reminds me of those bargain las vegas ribeyes pre-pandemic. Found in shady local joints like Palace Station.

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 top of each other hot, so the “pink” steaks get overcooked…

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

nice, love a microwaved 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.

Celebrity is such a POS. Virgin would never

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.

Looks boiled

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

Steaks shouldn’t be grey ….

What in God’s name convinced you to go on a celebrity cruise?

Probably pre cooked and then boiled in the bag

Bad lighting, often times natural light around sunset, doesn’t really allow the red from the meat to come through visually. I’m a server at a very nice steakhouse and we get send backs like this all the time. They look exactly like this at the window tables. When we bring them back to the kitchen to show chef under the lights they are cooked perfect. This is without a doubt a second class NY but the suttle difference in color in the very middle to outside is clearly visible.

entire plate looks sad

Is this one of those dining experiences you pay extra over the usual stuff?
CheezwizAndLightning
I would feel embarrassed to serve that to someone.
Like even if someone enjoys a well done, at least give it a good sear

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
