"28 Day Old Marbled Steak"

haven't the foggiest.

I'm guessing fillet.

However you cook it, I'd recommend going a little rarer than you normally do, as you might like it. If you over-do it it's more likely to taste just like a cheap bit of rump, so if you find that you don't like it you can always get a cheap bit of rump and incinerate that instead.

I'd probably cook it as Athos suggests.
 
I usually go saignant (bloody) with very good steaks, bleu (lightly cooked outside) occasionally but tbh it's not to everyone's taste. Rare is actually pretty eatable, even for the amateur steak enthusiast and medium-rare is about as far as I'd ever go... 2-3 minutes a side on a very hot (ideally iron) pan, bit more if it's thick.

e2a: Oh, other than warming to room temp beforehand, you need to let it rest for 5-10 mins afterwards.
 
Steak is best rare and bloody imo, but you won't get bloody over here.

Try this sauce to go with it, it's great.

Steak is best cooked to your own personal preference whatever that preference is. No point saying imo this is best or that is best imo. Just state your own personal preference.

Personally I'm an awkward bugger and like it 'medium to well' so that there is a pink line in the centre. Its the hardest to do so I'm impressed when people get it right.
 
just give it to me - no one on this thread has a clue.
i'd griddle it for 2 minutes on a very high heat, then take it off the heat and flip it. 4 minutes later, i'd stick it on a hotplate, then deglaze the pan with a splash of wine. 3-4 minutes later it would be perfect.
 
Have you eaten it yet?

I'd fry it lightly in butter if it was me.

The most important thing is resting it in the pan for a minute after turning the heat off though, as it lets the steak soak all the juices back up out of the pan and stops it being dry.
 
You cooked it yet?

Don't grill it!! Really!!

Fuck, I'll get another and come cook us both one :)

..and I'll do them both differently so you can see what people mean by not well done :)

Fillet is rarely that marbled. He can't go rarer than he usually does, I don't think he's eaten a steak before.

Hopefully it's a good Ribeye :)
 
Put in context; most of us start off having well done steaks and gradually get more bloodthirsty as you get older. I can understand why Jefe would go safety first. Rare steak's nearly always more tender and tasty - it's whether he can deal with the texture and appearance more. Past medium's a waste for me, but each to his own.

Two minutes a side (ish), on a hot griddle. No sauce needed with something like a rib eye - just mustard and perhaps some dauphinoise potatoes

At least the fat and marbling in a rib eye should give it a little extra succulence however it's cooked. It's a little more forgiving that some cuts.
 
you could cook it the way the germans cook bacon

take out of fridge
allow to warm up for a few minutes
pass briefly under a 100w bulb
serve
 
The man doesn't like rare steak - let him cook it well done if he wants it well done!

But Jefe please don't grill it - fry it :)

Now who's giving you all this free meat and chorizo...please can I meet them? :o :D
 
Homemade chips, mushroom and ENGLISH mustard. No sauces, no way. Sauce is for shit steak. :D

... and garden peas. Nom.
 
fuck it, i'm going to cut it into pieces and cook it in a Lidl chilli sauce with tinned mushrooms and some boil in the bag rice.
