Garlic and Pepper-Crusted Steak With Grilled Vegetables
Ethical Collapse in the Peer Review of a Leading Vaccine Journal
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
5 strict muscle-ups
20 walking lunges
Then, practice SLIPS for 25 minutes.
Steak is seasoned with bold spices and served with grilled vegetables.
This saga, by Yaakov Ophir and Yaffa Shir-Raz, details one account of how the peer review process was manipulated to censor dissenting opinions.
SLIPS is Scales, L-sits, Inversions (handstands), Planks, and Stretching.
Post rounds completed in the 12 minutes and types of exercises practiced during SLIPS to comments.

Preparation
Prepare the steak: Mix the ground black pepper (3 tsp), smoked paprika (½ tsp), minced garlic (1 clove), and salt (1 tsp) in a small bowl to create a spice rub. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the sirloin steak (3 ½ oz.) Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cook the steak: Heat 1 Tbsp of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the steak to the skillet. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare; adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Prepare the vegetables: Toss the diced red bell pepper (3 Tbsp), zucchini slices (1 small), and cut asparagus spears (4) with dried Italian herbs (1 tsp) and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Heat another skillet or grill pan over medium heat and melt 1 Tbsp of butter. Add the vegetables to the pan and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
Serve: Assemble and garnish the dish by plating the steak alongside the grilled vegetables. Garnish with a slice of lemon and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley (1 Tbsp) over both the steak and vegetables for added flavor and presentation.
Ultimately, the initial authors of the study were granted anonymous control over which reviews would be considered, and published.
