making a steak great

[Herbsman.]

This website ---> http://www.jrpartnersco.com/page3.html has the most great steak on it

Teriyaki steak is nice.

that's what I would do, make a marinade with garlic and soya, bit of brown sugar, chop up some garlic, add a bit of whisky if you have it laying around, bung it all in a bag and soak the steak for a few hours, the longer the better.

salt & pepper, a minute each side in a very hot pan, then finish it off by flambeing in a bit of brandy.

i like to eat mine on toast, with some fried mushrooms. pour the remaining brandy & juices over the top.

 

[Sunray]

Yup, no fat anywhere near my home cooked steaks.

Salt and pepper both sides and some pepper in the pan to toast it a bit.

i have sirloin steak. what should should i do with it! normally just fry it about a minute each side. any ideas for interesting stuff to serve with it? reckon will probably do baked potatoes

why don't you grill or fry up some fresh 'shrooms and onions (in butter) on teh side and smother the bleedin' steaks with them?

I used to work for a chef who had to be physically restrained from throwing out anyone who asked for well done. As for personal preferences, I think all you need is salt, pepper, a bit of wine for juice, but not too much fucking with. Cooking from room temperature is essential, as is plenty of salt and pepper.

it is not massively good steak though.... will do the warming thing

Quoted for the "steak shouldn't be fucked around with" crowd

it was pretty thin steak. i left it out for a bit then put olive oil and salt and pepper on it and put it into a hot pan, did one side for 1 minute then turned it and started talking to someone and forgot about it so it did for about 2, then took it out and fried shallots and garlic in the juices then put brandy in and set it on fire then cream and more salt and pepper and put the steaks back in. bit overdone but cos they were so thin they were still v tender. then we had baked pottatoes with cream cheese, and broccoli and aspargus boiled, it was indeed a great steak. thank you everyone.

 

[electrogirl]

cheap

oh. one of my childhood memories is my mum bludgeoning a steak for dinner.

we were cheap.

 

[Pingu]

so did my mum

tbf i think some of it was "fashion". not really any need to tenderise a decent bit of steak but people seem to like hitting things with hammers

Shut up, you're making me hungry for steak

Is there a steak that grows on trees?

They sell a pre-bashed steak here in the supermarkets, doesn't matter how you cook it, it still tastes and feels like old boots.

 

[High Voltage]

Sainers TTD 21 days hung fillet steak. FOR A SUPERMARKET!!!! is pretty damn good steak, IMVHO.

I've had a lot worse and paid a damn site more for steak from "butchers", but then the very best steak I've ever had and is the yard stick by which I judge steak came from a mates butchers and, dammit, was Argentinian.

Too true I've cooked one of those that even the dog wouldn't eat. (Well he did eventually but wasn't impressed)

It is ready when it feels like the end of your nose. If it feels like your cheek it is underdone and if it feels like your forehead it is overcooked.

Marintated olive oil and fresh garlic steak cooked on a hot griddle - served with steamed green beans and cubed sauted spuds

mustard on side .....

i love a good steak.i make great fuckin steaks.i think the challenge is more about making a good sauce to go with it..i have and can eat rare steaks but it's not a preferance.i like mine medium and a bit pink in the middle,but not BLOODY.but that's my pref innit

Do you realised that those steaks are just a new way of packing meat? Its not really even 21 days, its just packaged in a way that gives beef that 21 day taste and texture.

I had a fabulous steak in a local restaurant on friday. Tender, full of flavour, seared on the outside, bloody on the inside. Absolutely divine.

I asked the waiter to ask the chef what he did to make it so damn good - and his answer?

He used good, well hung steak and chucked it on the griddle for about 1 min each side. No seasoning, no fucking about

Schwartz steakhouse pepper mix freely sprinkled on....mmmm

Depends entirely how well-cooked you like your steak, surely?

 

[Nixon]

any good sauces then urban foodies? what do you have your steak with?

Cheap steak gets a blue cheese or peppercorn sauce. Nice steak gets either homemade bernaise or red wine sauce.

I had rib-eye last night, with fried potatoes, 2 skilleted tomatoes and loads of mustard. It was the best yet. I squeezed a bit of fresh lemon on it too (Nigel Slater tip that). No sauce needed as the beef was so good.

 

[tarannau]

Rib eye's a fantastic cut. Agree with all those urging simplicity. A quick turn on a red hot griddle's all a steak really needs.

Sauce? An unnecessary frippery in my book if the steak's good enough - the bloody meat juices are more than moisture enough

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, I don't see the need to overwhelm the taste of a good steak with sauce.
