We recently had a Pannini press in our kitchen at work. I get 30 minutes lunch break so managed to produce this meal with instant mash, sweetcorn and a dollop of blue cheese sauce. If I'd had another go at it, I'd have made it a little rarer but the email came out later that afternoon that the panini press press was no longer to be used for anything other than sandwiches.
Apparently people were complaining because the entire floor smelled delicious and the vegans weren't happy, also they were concerned that it could set off the smoke alarms.
How did I do for my one and only steak meal at work?

Vegans, pffft are they afraid of flavor and happiness? Always ruining our fun
That steak looks great for a Panini press! Next time just make a steak sandwich 😁
Bro just got steak juice all over the office panini press wtf 😂
Bring a George Forman grill and show them who’s boss
This is why people can’t have nice things, because there’s always that one person who feels entitled to use something like a communal panini press to make a steak for themselves
Had someone cook bacon in the toaster oven at work the other day, had me jealous all day.
Fuckin communists.
Looks subpar. No money shot so assuming you ended up with a thin poorly seared well done steak covered in blue cheese salad dressing. You’re the reason we put “do not drink” on the stuff under the sink. But, the story gave me a chuckle so I’ll give it a solid 5 out of 10.
Edit: I’m just playin btw

Kudos on the ingenuity. Now you get to live on as the legend who spurred on the office panini press rule.
bring your own press!
Looks great, hope you saved me a plate
I mean, if you brought some foil to keep it clean, it should be ok
Have you considered writing a sternly worded letter?
Is that gravy on the side? *I hope*
maybe it’s just me but if you require a panini press to make a steak at work maybe just spare the steak and give it some mercy instead of wrecking it in the most gruesome imaginable way
give it a proper cook and then let them write you up so at least you can argue that you cooked a mean steak before they got onto you. can’t make that argument with a panini press
hell, at that point, you’re just trying to be an ass using a panini press like that. you know it won’t give you a proper cook but at least it angers the vegans so you’re happy
you pissed off the vegans and you ruined a steak to make a point. 3/10. would still eat, send me via mail
I like how your making the other workers seems like assholes. Must be a real considerate guy. You ever try cooking it at home and using those containers that allow you to take food with you? I think they are called Tupperware. Shits wild.
How extra do you have to be to cook a steak in your fucking office break room. Get help my friend you’re clueless or trolling
No longer allowed to get caught cooking a steak in the panini press*
We used to do breakfast at work on a electric griddle, sausage and eggs, great way to start the day…and then people complained and we had to stop.
icl cooking an entire steak on lunch break is fuckin killing me right now. Imagine someone who just works to fill their day and be busy who is already extremely rich walking in, and just cooking a fucking wagyu ribeye mid lunch break, and then eating it in front of his feable workmates.
I agree with human resources. That steak is a crime. That is a horrible sear and a waste of a good steak.
This dude used the WORK panini press to cook a steak 😭😭😭
This place is a prison
Next week in the r slash tilapia subreddit, they post: “we’re no longer allowed a microwave at work because I used it to cook some fish. How’s it look?”
Come on man. Shit like this is what the weird guy at work does.
Bruh.
I work from home because of people like you
You deserve everything on that plate
Looks like a gluten free bread substitute to me… Stack em 2 high and you have yourself a “sandwich”
U got problems bruh
The entire floor shouldn’t smell like someones meal no matter, if it’s steak or not.
>**Apparently** people were complaining because the entire floor smelled delicious and the vegans weren’t happy
Yeah, it’s an office, not a fucking kitchen for grilling meat lol..

You sound like the guy at work that everyone hates. Plus the steak looks overcooked and you’ve put blue cheese sauce on it. Youre the worst
You work in a prison or navy ship?
If you actually cleaned everything perfectly after you were done cooking i see no reason to hate.
also hating the smell of food is also so cringe, how can you hate on food
Dude you can’t bring a steak to work, raw, to cook at work. How would you feel if you hired a plumber and the dude starts making creme brulee in your bathroom because hes got a blowtorch
every day we strive further from guga gods light.
Don’t see the issue, provided OP cleaned the panini press when he was done
