So, any Steak Lovers here?

[Deleted User]

I have been into Steaks lately, alot. I have been experimenting on different ways of seasoning it, and been trying to find the ultimate steak. Of course, everyone likes it a certain way, with a certain taste.

I have tried the normal salt and pepper route, its boring. I tried the mustard and pepper route, got old and boring. I tried, oyster sauce with garlic salt, getting tired of it. I tried soy sauce on one side and oyster sauce on the other, but it turns out like pork chops.

I am sure, many on here gotta have a certain way of seasoning the steaks.

Anyone, willing to share a recipe or two? No Kobe steaks way too much!

cfrizz

A nice rib eye or filet mignon liberally coated with Mccormicks grill seasoning cooked to medium rare. YUMMO!!!!

I dunno, I always liked mine with some garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce. Marinated with those things is good, throw in a packet of onion soup.

I love a good steak too. For home cooking I like like a good filet- also with McCormick's like cfrizz I don't grill a lot though, and here in the Seattle area we have some great places to go for a good steak!

I have experimented with every different cut of steak and every different marinade or rub. I have come full circle, no matter the cut - the only thing i ever use now is Montreal Steak Seasoning. It is delicious.

I always like ot use the following for steaks:

Paprika
Kosher salt
Black ground pepper
Add a little chili powder to spice things up.

Actually just had steak tonight. Yes.. it's cold out there but I grill outside all year round. Just make sure you get thick cut steak. Not the best but Costco usually have decent meat.

I either throw it on a seasoned iron skillet and chuck it under the broiler to cook to taste. Or if it's a grill, I only use charcoal. Propane and propane accessories are just so bland.

I don't use seasoning unless it's fillets and they are thick then I wrap some bacon around the edges and pin it up with a toothpick if I have to. The bacon dries out instead of the edges of the steak and the bacon fat, especially from smoked bacon, gives just a hint of extra flavor.

It's been my experience that while seasonings are nice, a properly cooked steak needs no help.

Two things you shouldn't do:
1.) DON'T POKE IT! Don't use a fork or anything else that is gonna jab holes in the steak. Holes let juices leak out and dry out the steak. Use tongs to flip the meat.

2.) Throw the meat on a very hot grill, broiler plate or skillet and sear the first side for a minute and then flip and sear the other side for a minute. Reduce the heat and flip back over and let cook 4-6 minutes depending on thickness on the first side. Flip it again after 4-6 minutes and let cook 4-6 more minutes. Check it on both sides if you like and then plate and serve. A typical 6-9 ounce fillet shouldn't take more than 8 minutes to cook. Of course thicker steaks will need more time for higher levels of "doneness". But 8 minutes should get you medium to medium well in most cases on an amply hot fire or broiler.

I eat like a pauper 5 nights a week, just so I can treat myself to a Filet Mignon from Fresh Market.
$20.00 a lb., I usually get 2 steaks out of one lb. Just a little Lowry's seasoning salt, and I'm GOOD to go!!
I am a CARNIVORE!!!! And until they can make tofu look, cook, smell & TASTE like a bacon wrapped tenderloin, don't waste your breath!!

Also- if you ever get a chance to have a good Wagyu steak in Japan, it's AMAZING! Best steak I've had in my life, it just melts in your mouth

Bleu Cheese...use as a topping after cooking.Even If your not a fan of bleu cheese give it a try,the flavor of the steak really mellows the cheese and the flavors blend well together.

EVOO with sea salt, cracked pepper, and crushed garlic. Not a lot of any except the steak. Med.

Little olive oil, sea salt and pepper. That's it. If that's "boring" to you, you don't like steak, you like marinades.

petrym

Me, a steak lover?

Is a frog's ****$ waterproof?

I'm Keiko on this one... sea salt and LOTS of fresh garlic. I prefer my steak seared over a wicked hot charcoal fire. Serve it french fries that have a good dose of German Pommes Frites Gewürzsalz.

It's like going to a nice steak house getting a $50 steak and then asking for some A1 sauce.

[Deleted User]

Boring, if you eat the same thing over and over and over... and over... What I meant is the seasoning. So many ways to steak a steak out there. Why not use this as an opportunity to learn, embrace new ideas right?

As far as marinades.. hmmm.. I do that a lot, its not about attacks, I am just open enough to try different things.

Unwinding the day with a good steak and music. Keep them coming..

And, I know longer dip steaks into anything after it leaves the fire and ready for devouring. Yummy... Come on. Its not just me, the recipes are for everyone on this forum as well to try. If you like to dip it into some awesome sauce you got, then hell, I wanna know it, just not the typical premade stuff from supermarkets.

A good way to spend the night!

I love steak. I always get Filet Mignon, but don't do anything fancy to it. I just marinade it with Worcestershire sauce, with some rock salt (the big stuff, imported from France, apparently) and seasoned pepper. That's all. Then I cook each side on high for 1.5 minutes, lower the heat, and cook each side again for 2 minutes on low heat. For more powerful grills, I reduce the first stage (on high) from 1.5 to just 1 minute a side. It's very rare, very tender, and very delicious. Never to be consumed without a glass or two of red wine.

brody05

peppercorn sauce, heavy on the pepper, can have added brandy and mustard, preseason with salt and pepper before cooking and start with the steak at room temperature before throwing on the heated pan if able............mmmmmm

PS if you can still feel your tongue and lips after the meal you need more pepper;)

mewisemagic

sometimes i get a sirlion tip roast and cube it up and marinaded it with a little granulated garlic and soy sauce,then get the iron skillet and sear it good,then i add a little chopped up fresh pineapple fine and stir that in for a minute and then cover it and put in the oven on about 325 till done.comes out pretty good:D

CaligulaPolk

soak steak in lemon juice overnight and season it with "Red robin" seasoning and meat tenders... Yummmmy..

I prefer porterhouse or NYStrip,,


damn, i want steak for lunch!!

CaligulaPolk

Stubbs Beef Marinade on any good cut of meat on a HOT A$$ grill. Dont get any better

polktiger

To each his own, but I think a good cut of steak should not be masked by a marinade or a sauce. If you have a strip, porterhouse, or filet all you do is sprinkle a little sea salt and fresh ground pepper possibly a touch of garlic or olive oil to prevent sticking cooked to medium rare. But then again, I also use sirloin tips to make ground beef. I don't care rib eye becuase of the fat.

jamesguthrie

I'm partial to T-bones, with a fairly liberal sprinkling of garlic salt and fresh ground pepper. Since I only eat steak every other week or so, it never gets boring!
