How do you cook your Steak?

[beatango2008]

OKay so I love steak, but I cant cook it and enjoy it because its so tough my jaw gives out before I finish it.
How do you make it tender so when you bite into it, the steak pratically melts in your mouth? and I am looking for only healthy ways no soaking the skillet with butter or any of that crap lol. I usually broil mine but when I fry it its still tough, and I get sirlion steaks.

[*RAGE*]

what kinda of steak are you buying..never mind, i see it know, grill but use wood chips on the fire, dont put the meat over the flame, put it off to the side takes longer but worth the wait, one last thing the smoke from the wood chips cook it...

[mho]

I grill mine on the lowest setting for about 10 minutes on each side.

[eatrainrest]

good ole georgey foreman

[l2elapse]

broil with a decent cut of meat is always good for me

[DSM4Life]

now im hungry

[beatango2008]

oh man you guys are making me hungry just thinking about it.
Don't you maranate it in anything though for even more tenderness?

[beatango2008]

okay thats it I'm going fire up the grill now!

[*RAGE*]

you can but I like the rub, put your seasons on the meat and then rub it in....Ok that did not come out right nor did saying that did not come out right...Hey dsm show him out to rub his meat......if you maranate do it for 24 hours is best...

High heat is the key. NO reputable steak joint cooks over low heat. You have to sear the outside fast to seal in the juices. time your ceenter. Remember there is power in blood, so the rarer the better. DO you season? If not you can actually just use a cheap meat tenderizer medium on both sides if you have a tough cut. NEVER consider a teak prepared properly indoors unless you have an indoor grill! Here is a pic of I dooz it at mt crib

[StoneGRMI]

Depends on the cut, man. Every cut is different. I worked in an upscale steakhouse through college and almost every cut is cooked differently.

In general, you want high high heat to sear both sides then put it in the oven for a couple minutes pending cut and thickness.

Grills are actually not the best the control isn't there. You have hot spots, flame ups and other problems.

edit: don't get me wrong, I grill steaks like none other. Just someone looking to make the perfect steak with minimal experience shouldn't until they get used to knowing when it's right.

Yeh I aggree. As simple as I use to think the whole process was my brother whos a butcher sat me down one day and explained for about 30mins why these steaks he brought home were the best I'd ever eat my entire life.

And I swear I don't follow any special cooking rules but when that mfkr was done it was the tastiest shit I've ever had.
I didn't sear the outside then do a slow cook I just flamed it up and it was juicy and tender right off the grill.
I can't reiterate any of what he said but it has every thing to do with the meat grade/cut or w/e. And its insane to see how expensive some of the best cuts go for. I think he said the one steak I had was like $30 and thats not even getting it in some fancy overpriced restaraunt.

[higherdesire]

Damn Bo, I thought your brother was a thievin ass salesman? Or is this another brother? lol settle down beevus, I am just teasing.

[RA]

Ribeye..broil..7 mins on one side...same other and then 2 mins on high each side..middle still pink. Lawreys (sp?) salt before you put it in. Spoils me for shit restaraunt steaks..but you have to find some where that cuts it fresh. Old meat is shyt.

[scerpico22]

very easy...grill it!

first light seasoning...little salt and pepper, let meat sit until its room temp
high direct heat...5- 7 minutes on each side...if you like medium rare...which is best...
if you have a sear side on the grill then sear for 45sec to 1 minute more on each side...
grill some asparagus with low fat parmigiana
and you are in business..
damn im hungry...

That's what I've been doing wrong! I've been slow cooking to 130F and it seems like the crust, mantle and outer core are medium, and just the core is medium rare. I'm going to try that next time. Hopefully I can get everything below the crust medium rare.

This great but I like it cooked all the way most of the time.

I cook my steak naked.

[Nooomoto]

Grilling is the way to go. Steak wasn't meant to be broiled!!! Low heat, 5-6 minutes on each side (more if you don't love awesome goodness)...and you're good to go. I also use Montreal Steak Seasoning from Grill Mates or whatever.

[Flagg]

I couldn't think of a greater abomination than putting a perfectly fine steak in a George Foreman Grill.

Grilled (on a BBQ or cooker) is best, and rare. I love a good steak with a good sauce, like black peppercorn sauce or gravy with shallots. Try spreading a nice thin layer of garlic roule on your steak the next time you grill it. Good eating!

[vpchill]

Grill, Must be Medium Well though. I like my steak bloody and chewy like my women

As we say in Texas...Get a rope!

[Sage]

I marinate the steaks and let them sit in the fridge for a few days. Drop these bad boys on george foreman grill which fits (4) NY strips and keep it medium rare. Season them afterwards and ready to serve. Red meat and tuna steaks any days of the week.

[WARMachine]

I like rib eyes.

Marinade Brasileiro style! Sea salt, and garlic fellas. So good. Cooked rare on medium heat. I like charcoal personally.
