My not a scientist understanding is basically the general process of cooking makes things more carcinogenic but it's not by like a lot, unless you're charring the outside of a steak into carbon

cooking at temps high enough to burn food, yes. lower temp cooking like boiling or steaming does not burn food.

If you're burning a steak that bad, you deserve the cancer.

My favorite way to cook a steak is to cut crosshatches, pack it with pepper and salt, char the living fuck out of the outside, keep it basically raw in the middle. You can make a solid crust without overcooking it
