A Florida judge bizarrely asked a domestic violence suspect about how to properly cook a steak before setting his bond low. 

Judge Allison Gilman, of the 17th Judicial Circuit, asked Christopher Johnson for his advice on how to cook a steak. Johnson works as a chef in a Florida bar. 

'If you were going to cook me a dish, what would it be?' Gilman asked the man, who was arrested on Monday on domestic battery charges. 

'To make food, I’m gonna start with steak on the grill, man,' he replied, footage obtained by WSVN showed. 

'See, I either burn it on the outside and then it’s not enough on the inside, or I just overcook it,' she replied. 

Johnson then told her to angle the steak at the 10 o'clock and two o'clock position in the pan. Incredibly, she said: 'Wow.' 

Gilman then went on to ask how to not make the steak chewy, but then seemed to stop herself, saying: 'That’s also another – but that’s for another day, I guess.' 

She later set his bond at $1,500, asking him if he was able to afford that, despite court records showing Johnson had previously been arrested for aggravated battery involving the same victim when she was pregnant with Johnson's child, WSVN reported.

'Yes,' Johnson replied, regarding the bond. 

'Of course you can. With those kinds of things you’re cooking,' she replied, before telling him she'd have to go to the restaurant he worked at. 

'There are so many restaurants I have to go to and, yeah, I’ll see you at Slackers. What do I order at Slackers? Is it the wings?' she said. 

It's not the first time Gilman has discussed food with alleged criminals in her courtroom.  

Earlier this month, the judge made a comment about not getting into her 'shrimp-making abilities' with a suspect who worked at a seafood restaurant, WSVN reported. 

Linda Parker, the CEO of Women in Distress, criticized the judge for her choice in conversation with Johnson, telling WSVN: 'Turn the steak? What? We’re talking about steak in a domestic violence case?

'It just tells survivors: "I may not get the justice that I need."' 

The chief judge in Broward County told WSVN it was aware of the clip, but did not comment on it.  

The Daily Mail has reached out to Gilman for comment.
