Despite loudly boasting the benefits of an all-meat diet, it seems (probable) constipation poster child and the king of the incels, Jordan Peterson, apparently has no idea how to actually cook meat beyond what he’s come across on TikTok while furiously scrolling past videos of curvy women in bathing suits.


Earlier this week, the inadvertent Kermit the Frog voice actor took a break from his busy schedule of demanding strangers on the internet clean their room, ugly crying over Chris Pine on television (didn’t the Venice Film Festival subject him to enough unwanted bodily fluids???) to share a series of step-by-step instructions detailing what may easily be the worst possible way to cook a steak with his 3.7 million Twitter followers.


“Freeze it then air fry at 450,” Peterson, who famously only eats beef, salt, and water, wrote on Monday, January 30, replying to a post asking users to detail the way they’d prepare a Japanese A5 Wagyu steak. “Drain the fat. Add a little water and plenty of salt into the pot for au jus. Crispy on the outside and no more than medium internally.”




Despite earning Peterson’s not-so-highly coveted stamp of approval, it seems the Contrapoints co-star failed to convince the culinary experts on Twitter, his followers and beyond taking to the platform to denounce his approach to steak — one best described as an affront to tastebuds  — poor, innocent and air fryers.


“I’m starting to think that even cleaning my room is bad advice now,” wrote one user. “Drain the fat…from Wagyu?,” questioned a second. “Not sure I’d take cooking advice from the guy who hospitalized [sic] himself by eating nothing but steak for months,” added another, A fourth likening him to Charlie Kelly from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
