Also a sous vide cooker. Might try a steak for the first time in 20 years. I absolutely hated it growing up probably because my parents cook everything well done and no seasoning just chewy grey chunks of meat. But from that I developed an aversion to beef in general, it has to be so heavily seasoned that it has no beef flavor left. I've learned to like chicken, I've learned to like pork, I've learned to like seafood. All it took is to learn how to cook it right. I think this will be the best shot at learning to like beef.
I'm the same way with seafood/fish. I've tried all kinds of water creatures but don't like any of them no matter how they are prepared. Raw, steamed, boiled, grilled, baked, fried... About the only thing I could choke down would be a blackened sword fish or tuna steak that is so blackened and seasoned that there is no resemblance of fish or fish flavor.
I'll cook fish and stuff for others but buying any seafood for me is a waste of time and money.
