Cooking the perfect steak

[Cooter]

Might do that tomorrow.

it's unhealthy at best, but it's fucking delicious!!!!!!!!

I got my recipe off of FoodTV's website

get some GOOD white wine vinegar, some fresh tarragon, and a decent white wine...

we found a good pinot grigio vinegar, so we typically buy a decent bottle of pinot for the recipe

I was always of the mind that steak needed no sauce. Then I tasted the filet w/ bernaise @ mortons!

it's been posted before, but this is the easiest and best way to cook a steak at home that in know of.

I've been using this method for a while now. Works fantastic.

If its a good cut of meat...

salt, pepper, and butter (maybe a little garlic) are the only things that should touch the steak before it hitting some sort of broiler..

On the regular grocery store meats... a jaccard machine is a great investment and your buddies will wonder why your steaks are soo much more tender (lots of restaurants use them) than the ones they cook at home.. Add whatever you think tastes good...

Yup. Of course it doesn't work as well as a gas range but it's what I'm forced to use at my apt.

Great, thank you!

I was reading the Alton Brown recepie posted in this thread and thought maybe somebody had any answer. Can you us cast iron on an electric range? Coil by the way, not flat surface.

zOMG. i sauced my steak tonight!

a peppercorn crusted tenderloin with a cognac cream sauce.

i broke open a pack so ill be having tenderloin for 3 straight nights.

I use a fork to tenderize the meat, and then pour warm melted real butter on them, use a little garlic salt and course ground black pepper. I then put them in a vacuum container and put a good vacuum on them to draw in the butter/garlic salt/pepper. I let it sit at room temperature for a couple of hours and then sear each side for about 30 seconds, then cook to taste.

Stopped by Tom Thumb this afternoon and had them cut a couple of 2" thick bone-in ribeye's. Gonna fire up the grill tomorrow for an early Valentine's Day dinner for the wife. I'll take a few pics for good measure. If I remember I'll take a few pics while I'm doing the salting procedure as well.

I'm doing the same thing tomorrow with filets from Central Market. I will snap some pics.

Salt, pepper, Garlic salt, olive oil, hot grill. I normally buy ribeyes due to good marbling, since I prefer the meat well done. I've never cooked a "burnt" or "tough as leather" well done steak that way. Still juicy and tender, great beef taste. A1 is reserved for shitty steaks, or meat too dry to eat plain.

I have to bite my tongue whenever I prepare steaks at work (which is why I don't offer anymore). I cook them to order and take care to cook to whatever temperature is desired by each person. As you bite into the steak, reveling in what a good job you did, you look up to see someone smothering theirs in A1, 57, etc. before even tasting it.

Albertson's has Choice Bone-in Ribeyes for $4.99/lb through tomorrow.

Thought I'd mention that I was at Costco yesterday and they did have prime ribeyes and New Yorks for about 1/2 the price of regular meat markets. No prime filets though, just choice for $11.49/lb. I like ribeyes myself so I was happy. They also had 8 count tiger prawns for $12.99/lb to go with my steaks. Costco FTW!

lol I get tired of preaching Costco cause nobody "gets it"...the standard excuses that mean nothing.
