He got skewered.
A “Married at First Sight” contestant got butchered online for eating a pricey steak with his hands.
Adam Dehmlow was on his honeymoon when he picked up the entire piece of a juicy ribeye at a waterfront restaurant in Cancun, said, ‘This looks f–king amazing,’ and proceeded to bite into it.
Dehmlow then throws down the half-bitten cut and says, ‘That could be the best steak I’ve had,” before feeding a piece to his new bride — with his bare hands.
When the clip of him getting handsy with the beef circulated on social media, people called him out for the culinary faux pas — with comments like, “Seriously, use a fork and a steak knife, for goodness sake! Was he raised by wolves?”
Others called him a “caveman” and a “Flintstone.”
The 31-year-old data analyst from Seattle told The Post he was not surprised that the scene has stood out this season of the Peacock reality series, where 14 singles are matched by experts and enter into a marriage sight unseen.
“Honestly, no shock at all. A few of the other couples weren’t exactly generating material. So the second anybody does something with a little flavor, people are going to grab it with both hands,” he said.
The newlywed said his new wife, program manager Marissa Meyer, didn’t seem too shocked with the unorthodox meat move.
“I’d been doing something unhinged on a pretty consistent schedule by that point, so her bar for me had already been adjusted,” he said.
Dehmlow also drew online criticism after wearing socks in a pool during a group date, a decision he defended.
“Like I said on the show: grip. A sudden athletic event can break out at any moment and you need to be ready to perform. Bare feet on wet tile is how you lose. I don’t lose,” he said.
He shot down speculation that he was hamming it up for television’s sake.
“Somewhere in there I stopped thinking about the cameras entirely and just got more like myself, not less,” he said.
Though the newly-minted reality star knew he would garner some attention for his actions, he said he was taken off guard by the extent of online criticism he’s received.
“Most people have never had a camera on them that many hours a week, and then all of that gets cut down to a few minutes,” he said. “You’re not really meeting a person, you’re meeting a version of them somebody else assembled.”
Dehmlow said his intentions were pure, and he joined “Married at First Sight” — which is airing its Season 20 finale on Aug. 27 — to find a wife.
“I’ve been dating with actual intent since I was 18 in college, and at some point you look around and go, ‘OK, whatever I’m doing isn’t working, let me try the version where a panel of experts does it for me.’”
His family had mixed reactions when he told them he was tying the knot with someone he had never met.
“My aunt absolutely lost her mind. Screaming, phone away from the ear, the full performance,” he said.
“My parents? Zero surprise. Not one flicker. It was basically ‘Yeah, that sounds about right.’ I still don’t know if that’s a compliment.”
Dehmlow and Meyer were one of the only couples in the series’ 12-year history that actually had met one another before their wedding day.
“Biggest moment of my life and my brain is stuck on ‘Why do I know this woman?’ [It] took me a minute. We’d met at a bar a year or two earlier, talked for maybe five minutes, both had a lot going on and never got to the date part,” he said.
“So the show didn’t introduce us. It just closed a loop I’d left open.”
