For me it is a nice well cut rib eye steak. A little bit of salt and pepper added and then thrown into a hot frying pan with melted butter. 3 minutes on both sides with the outside crisp and brown and the meat well done in the middle. To be served with chips and consumed with a glass of ice cold coke. I love it.
How do you get your perfect steak?
I do prefer the Ribeye myself, more flavour to it. Only season with pepper before into hot dry pan, oil the meat not the pan. Depending on size of steak dictates cooking time, but prefer my steak medium rare, with eith a blue cheese sauce, or diane sauce, or peppercorn, i like alot of sauces. All washed down with a good glass of red wine.
Chips? Coke? Pan seared? :/
I marinate my steak, (preferably a well marbled ribeye) worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, some other seasonings depending on what I feel like. Served with steamed vegetables and a nice Bordeaux.
Top Tip:
I always used to do one side of my steak first, then turn it over once. I was such an excellent cook that I could get this nice and rare and it is the accepted way to grill.barbecue/fry steaks.
BUT ..... the top of the steak loses heat very quickly andthe idea is to have both sides 'cooking' and caramelising the fat at the same time, this keeps it much more tender and stops one side of the emat resting more than the other. This means that half the steak relaxes while the other half i9s cooking and the cut of the meat will make it tougher.
Turn the steak over literally every few seconds. this caramelised both sides evenly, it ensures that the whole steak is resting for the same amount of time and it also seals in the juices better.
I didnt believe it when I heard it either - but I am now converted. A british 3*** Michelin chef called Heston Blumenthal did a programme on this. Google it.
Back to the question,it's either:
- thick cut of ribeye, montreal spices, barbecued or done in a cast iron griddle rare, or
- 2 inch thick fillet. marinated overnight in fish sauce, lime juice, chilli and palm sugar. Then flashed on an ultra hot griidle so its 'blue'. Thinly sliced and served on a Thai salad.
MMMMnnnnn
I already told you guys how to make the perfect steak, well, cut of beef in a perfectly prepared prime rib. That I searched the Earth for in recipes consulting all the greatest chefs. That I worked on over and over until I got it just right. Then you laughed at me for how "red", tender it was on the inside. So basically FUCK YOU. You hurt my feelings.
But yes, this is the perfect piece of beef right here. And I cooked that baby. :drool:

You can do a good pan-seared steak.Quote:

They also are the easiest thing in the world to cook, a trained monkey could do it. All you have to do is make sure they're not overcooked.
Jesus, Youngblood ..... that looks like Whitney Houston's dead crack-addled cunt.
YOU look like Whitney's crack-addled cunt. You hear me motherfucker? My steak is delicious. :drool:
Im with you, it can be done on a pan, and let the flavor of the meat stand on its own :cool:Quote:

. I cook mine outside on the bbq in a pan.Cause I got 2 vegetarians in the house here and they dont like the smell in the house of it cooking.
I like mine well done with crisp outer. I flip mine over in a good olive oil cold, then into the pan on very very low heat and cover the pan with a sausepan lid. flip it in 10 min and recover for 5. Then I turn up the heat and sear both sides open and leave it for while on the plate while getting out the steamed peas and other vegs.
A good T bone is always nice too, they cant mess with a T bone and glue in unsavory pieces as they can some other cuts. But Rib eyes best as you guys all say.
O Yes Lyle :feedme:Quote:

I'm going to have one later today. A rib-eye, from a local butcher shop. The beef is local as well, grass and grain fed, and the shop seasons it. They have their own marinade that looks like tobacco juice but tastes much better. I'll cook it on my George Foreman grill.
Men are better cooks than women, look at all the top chefs in the world men outnumber women there for a reason ;).Quote:

Well it depends on what the steak is being served with ,
if its done on a grill or pan sealed then finished in the oven, then ribeye is a good cut.
If it is served at a dinner party with a classic sauce , then i prefer Fillet.
However steak differs so much depending on the bread of cattle , i personally like Dexter beef, or Orkney Island cattle, Kobe is good with high fat content, Texas longhorn excellent to.
I personally have my steak Blue.
