Dude...

Bought a couple great delmonicos and started them in the stove for 20 mins, then put them in hot oil and butter in the cast iron. No grill. These things came out perfect. Don't think I'll make steaks on the grill for a while.

I've got a chimichurri steak lounging in the hot tub for dinner.

Steaks should never see the grill.

I'd throw some aromatics in that pan with the oil and butter, baste a little as they sear.

Don't neglect all that great fond at the bottom of your pan either, deglaze in some wine or whatever you want, maybe toss in some shallots and reduce, instant fantastic sauce.

Sure did. A couple sprigs of rosemary. Worked out

did you put brown gravy or cream gravy on it?

A lot of folks seem to hem and/or haw about whether it's worthwhile to set a steak out and let it get to room temp before cooking, but for me the most revelatory step in making a good steak great is a very healthy coating of kosher salt 45 minutes before cooking.

Salt gravy?

Sure. Point is, whether I let it sit out or leave in the fridge, as long as I get it salted about 45 min ahead of time it comes out great.

Agreed. I do the heavy course salt as well. I just do it 2 hours in advance if I can.

Leaving steak out to to get to room temp is a huge food myth. You can cook it straight out the fridge and it doesn't make a difference.

1 bunch flat leaf parsley
1cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tbsp oregano
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
1tsp red pepper flakes
2 teeth of garlic, minced

Mix up and enjoy

Toss olive oil, red wine vinegar, flat leaf parsley, cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic in a blender. (Vinegar: Oil ratio is about the same for all the recipes I found online, I just took the ingredients I liked from the higher rated ones and made it my own) It's better as it ages, but loses its bright color. That stuff is like a week and a half old, but the flavors have intensified quite a bit from when it was fresh.

Flat iron...Skirt steak... they both get cooked the same for an identical outcome. And HEB has gotten pretty streamlined in their counter selection, no asking for anything that doesn't come in a box or can't be trimmed from a boxed cut.

Steak is good grilled, broiled, sous vide and seared, and pan fried. Why? Because it's a big ass hunk of tender meat and that makes it ****ing awesome.


Unless you cook it past medium rare then it sucks and you're an ass hole.

I had a carne a la plancha tonight. Thin skirt steak smothered in mushrooms, grilled onions, and monterey jack cheese. I can't tell you how they made it, but it was good.

Wat.

I smoked and reverse seared a couple tri-tips last night that were absolutely fantastic. The grill is a wonderful option to cook a steak.

That steak must not taste that great if you have to smother it with mushrooms.
