Tips for preparing steak

[BiGHer]

I have a 1 inch thick, 10 oz, Sirloin steak... No grill available, but stove top and over are... Any reccomendations on how to cook this?  I have a few different ways that I like to, but I'm looking for some new suggestions... Steak is defrosting now

Sear and then finish in oven

1) Leave steak out for about 30 mins.  to get it to room temp
2) Pre-heat oven to 500deg
3) heat cast iron pan.  use a little olive oil, get it to near smoking
4) pat steak dry, then use favorite dry rub....then rub a little olive oil on it
5) sear the steak approx 75 sec per side
6) bake in oven for about 5 mins, take out and let rest for about 4 - 5 mins

easy as that....nice and medium rare....bake for less if you want more rare.  DO NOT cut into it to see how done it it.

If you had NY strip, I would suggest searing for 2mins on the fatty side first...draws flavor up into steak

Do you have a Beer Cooler?

[BiGHer]

Do you have a Beer Cooler?

No, I don't.  The steak is in a vacuum pack right now.  I do have plenty of tupperware for ice and cold water, but I'm not sure what' you're thinking...??

We were going to Sous Vide for a perfectly cooked steak with zero effort.

Do you have an instant read thermometer?

this is not the way to do it

getting olive oil to smoking point  on cast iron... this will completely cook the steak in minutes

get a regular skillet

butter

heat till butter is brown on MEDIUM flame

sear steak 1 minute on each side

put steak in oven at 450 degrees for 3... this will take a 1 inch steak to rare

also, put sea salt and coarse black peper on steak, los and lots of it, liek a layer of it on one side, leave other side untouched

[apply85]

sous vide a steak = no method? lol really?

wrapping a steak, cooking it for 30 mins in fuckng water = no effort?

dont ask adonis about cooking

[wes]

Adonis is gonna` have to get resourceful.

[The True Adonis]

No sir, don't have that either

If I were you, I`d put the steak in the Fridge and go out and get a digital Instant Read Thermometer.  You can get them around 10 bucks or so at any grocery store.  There is no point in playing a guessing game with valuable meat.  Its a complete waste actually.

You can do the palm test, but its totally inaccurate.  Your goal should be perfectly cooked meat 100 percent of the time.  Why wing it?

Not a problem, what after I have the thermometer?

Just horrible.  Bringing Olive Oil to a smoking point is an absolute NO-NO precisely because it has a very low smoke point and when it hits that point, it turns instantly rancid, producing incredibly off flavors.

If you want to ruin your meat, follow this morons advice.

lol, doesnt know hwo to cook a steak without a thermometer

i swear to god people must be retarded

there's a good reason no one uses this method to cook in the kitchen, on paper it makes sense, in reality its not that simple to use a thermometer

if after 3 minutes in the oven, adn this is after searing, u are not sure if it is cooked... push meat down with ur finger, if it pushes back even a little put, it is done

u ask adonis how to cook a steak and he says go buy a meat thermometer, the loser never cooked a steak in his life thats what that means

[apply85]

no, it will pretty much taste the same smoking point or not, it will stink up ur apartment but the taste is not the problem with oil smoking

especially on cast iron, this is just too high a temperature,it will cook the srewak all the way through in minutes

[Nails]

steaks that thick i only cook on the weber grill and use indirect heat to cook it after searing it ....

Oven pan cooking i tend to only do Think sliced Steaks... i say you coat the pan with Olive Oil on high flames (season steak with Salt and Pepper), sear it on one side for a min or flip it over and turn heat down to medium and let cook for 10min or til its done to your taste

[The True Adonis]

1. Make sure you pat your steak COMPLETELY dry. You want it as dry as you can get.
2. Heat 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil Medium High Heat until just smoking. DO NOT LET IT SMOKE or you will have to start over.
3. Cook Steaks 3-5 Minutes Per side until well browned.
4. Check Temperature with Digital Thermometer and remove from heat at 120 degrees.
5. Tent with foil for 10 minutes. DO NOT CUT INTO YOUR MEAT for 10 Minutes.


There.  Should be easy enough for a pefect sear and pefectly cooked steak.

You put a skillet on the stove, pour in a couple of tablespoons of oil, turn up the heat and the phone rings. A few minutes of distraction and you have thick, black smoke billowing out of your skillet. What happened? It was only oil. You hadn't even started cooking yet.
What happened was that you hit the Smoke Point for that oil. The smoke point of oils and fats is the temperature when it breaks down and fails as a lubricant. When oil breaks down it forms a whole host of bad things, including stuff that can give you cancer. There are also things in that broken oil that will cause foods to stick and that taste very bad. Knowing how hot the oil you are using can get will help you avoid the Smoke Point. Below is a list of the most popular oils and fats.

Nails, if I had it my way, I would always cook my steaks on a grill... indirect heat is also a great move.

lol, the retard quotes me wikipedia or something

those pics u post, the recipes, it is all indeed bullshit? i didnt think anyone would go that far to create a fake persona
