Hey all you chefs, I have a question. It appears in the last 3 or 4 years that all steaks and many other dishes have this flake black pepper. It is larger than regular home ground black pepper. Do you know this pepper?
And why is it everywhere these days? I had a steak on Saturday and I examined the write up and photo of the steak and it looked just cooked on the flat surface or large pan. Darkened outside, nice med rare inside.
But when I got it, the darken outside was mostly that flaked black pepper burned in. I did eat the inside of the steak, but not the outside. (I should have asked before ordering).
And I only ask as I don't really prefer it but would eat it, and it has a detrimental effect on my body soon after eating.
What do you recommend I ask or give as instructions to get a steak or other meats/meals without it?
