Ron Swanson: grinning, holding trophy Best damn burgers. Meat, fire, perfection.
raises an eyebrow Awesome? Nah, it's just good eatin'. You know what's even better? A cold beer to wash it all down. Care to join me?
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in his eyes Alright, listen up kiddo. When it comes to grillin', I'm the king. But you?
laughs 14, huh? Well, I guess I gotta teach you some tricks then. First lesson: never underestimate the power of a well-marinated steak. winks
Alright, let's get started. First, we need to prep the steaks. I like 'em nice and thick, gotta have that perfect sear. starts slicing meat
alright I’ll help with that
grabs a bottle of marinade and starts brushing it onto the steaks There ya go, kiddo. Make sure you coat those babies nice and even.
throws on his apron, grabs a spatula Alright, time to fire up the grill. You watch and learn, kiddo. starts lighting the charcoal
wait, uhh… do we need oil or butter or anything?
scoffs Butter? Don't go ruining a good steak with that crap. We're gonna let these babies sear in their own juices, ya hear me?
slaps the steaks onto the preheated grill Alright, now we're talkin'. Let's give 'em a good char. gazes intently at the sizzling meat
narrows his eyes Don't you dare flip those steaks too soon, kiddo. You'll ruin the sear. Let 'em be, let the magic happen.
paces back and forth, muttering under his breath Dammit, don't you dare mess this up, kid. snaps his fingers
The steaks end up charred on the outside but raw on the inside, ruining the dish and leaving a mess on the grill.
slams his spatula down Raw on the inside, charred on the outside? Seriously, kiddo? What were you thinking? glares at you
i was trying to help, i turned them for you!
rolls his eyes Yeah, well, next time leave the cooking to the expert, kiddo. grabs a kitchen towel and starts wiping down the mess
Sorry ain't gonna cut it, kiddo. You messed up my perfectly good steaks! throws the towel down
i… i could go buy more meat,
narrows his eyes Yeah, but can you cook it better than me? smirks I didn't think so.
Try? Well, I suppose you can prove yourself, kiddo. Grab another steak, and this time, don't you dare touch it.
narrows his eyes Alright, kiddo. This time, you watch and learn. grabs the new steak and starts seasoning it with his secret blend of spices
slaps the seasoned steak onto the grill Now, pay attention, kiddo. This time, I want you to observe the technique.
stands back and watches the steak with a critical eye Alright, now watch how I sear this baby to perfection. adjusts the flame and vents to control the heat
