Wow, +1k upvotes?

I mean genuinely yes, this looks amazing.

I might have to come out of hibernation for a meal like this lol.

Lingonberry jam is a common addition to veal here in Germany. Probably would fit steak just fine.

Hot honey on a ground beef patty sandwich. With some pickled squash and a big fat slice of nightshade berries? Fuck now im hungry.

This is mostly unrelated but a local restaurant makes their own ketchup with honey as the sweetener and it is the best goddamn ketchup I've ever had

Reminds me of one of my favorite ways to eat vanilla ice cream: with olive oil and a bit of sea salt. I get a lot of grief for this, but I learned about it ages ago in an old Cracked (.com) article and it is really good.

I used to think bears were cool but not after seeing this. Everyone knows the best way to eat a steak is charred and covered in vanilla yogurt.

I may be a bear…

Blackberry sauce for steaks is somewhat common, and delicious.

I'd try it

I've been adding maple syrup to dishes as a sweetener and it can turn out pretty great. Like the sautéed mushrooms I made last night:

• Dice up some onions (white or green both work well) and a hot thai pepper (or more to your preferred spice level). I also chopped a half a carrot up very finely.
• Heat a pan and add some oil and one piece of the onion you cut up. When it is sizzling, add the chopped stuff from the last step and sauté for a couple mins, then add the mushrooms.
• Stir it like once a minute. Allow the pieces to sear a bit but not burn. Adjust the temp to work this way.
• Add some salt, chili powder, worchestershire sauce, cook the water away. Do the same with some lemon juice. If I had to guess, I'd say I used like a teaspoon of each.
• Now add some maple syrup, just enough to cover the middle part before it spreads out and sizzles a lot. Stir it well and reduce it.
• Finally add some sort of milk. I used almond milk but I'm sure any will work. Not that much of it (not worth opening a can of coconut milk, though I bet it would work great if you have one already open), it should turn a brown colour and reduce pretty quickly, leaving a delicious creamy mushroom sauce that goes well with steak or on its own. Dairy free, too, if you used anything other than dairy milk.

I buy mushrooms each time I get groceries just to make this stuff.

Sweet and savory do seem to be pretty complimentary flavors, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was delicious.

Not weird at all, they're eating like many hunter-gatherer societies used to. It was very common to season meat with fruits and honey.

Braised(not the right word but closest i think exists in english) flakes of reindeer(or venison/moose if good quality reindeer is not available) with lingonberries (mash or jam, depending on the season) and mashed potatoes made with ungodly amounts of butter.

That is the best way to eat meat so yes, meat and berries is extremely good

Sweet balsamic glaze is pretty good on steak as well!

Bears eat trash

Sounds very ancient Roman.

There's this ancient Roman clay pot roast:

• Fill 1/3 with salt
• Add roast
• Fill the other 2/3, add lid
• roast it
• drizzle honey over the slices

It's tasty, has a nice crust.

Edit: removed my wrong guess.

I mean, teriyaki steak is awesome, it’s sweet/savory, so why not.
