STEAK

[na§tee]

i've been having a real hankerin' for steak recently. any ideas for cooking, marinating, or what to accompany it with?

i think i am going to follow a nick nairn recipe card that is in the scotsman newspaper today: rib eye with cabernet sauvignon vinegar & rocket salad. with a scoop of dauphinoise potato.

a colleague of mine recently came back from florida where he ate a kobe beef steak, yowza. now that's some pampered beef.

I never really ate much steak until I started working for a wetherspoons, but since I've been there I've been loving the surf & turf (10oz rump with scampi). 3 days ago we just launched our brand new menu and we now do a surf & turf with prawn skewers instead of scampi (y) (I've yet to try it)

[na§tee]

(!) WETHERSPOONS ADVERT! (!)

; ) i josh.

ooh, i made surf and turf around christmas - i chopped the steak up and added it to skewers so it was sort of a steak/prawn kebab type thing. with peppers. it were yummmm.

For me it’s all about the grilling,preferably over mesquite bricks or olive tree charcoal…I always make a garnish of shallots and mushrooms,pan seared,hit with sea salt and fresh ground pepper,parsley, garlic and then deglaze the pan with red wine/balsamic vinegar until you get a caramalized result,top your sirloin with it…mmmmmm….(y)

you take the steak and you stab the shit out of it with a fork, i mean methodically do it like you're mowing the lawn to get the whole thing. you take some garlic and smash it into a paste, smother it all over, second coat of olive oil and you douse it with kosher salt, the pretzel type salt...



here;s the important part: you cook it on one side till its almost completely done, then you turn it over at the end for a couple minutes so it finishes, and bam - mouth watering steak - guaranteed.

its important to not flip the meat over and over, just do it once. once you start flipping repeatedly, you lose the juices and it dries out.

aaahhh yes! i have been reading that hint the most online. i think that's a mistake i make - always shoving it about. hrrmm. and bash it with a fork you say to tenderise it? i've never done that but i will give it a try. this steak is going to receive a lot of tender loving care.

i have my ingredients set and i will be consuming said (fillet! woooh!) steak in about 45 minutes after my baked potato is done. i have my fork and pepper and garlic and creme fraiche and sea salt all lined up.

And don't forget to use a proper steak knife when you sit down to eat...the end butchery is a vital part of the consumption process...you realize I now must have a steak this weekend...:D

yuss! success (http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c361/nastee/meatsweats.jpg)! good god it was tasty and worth all of the £5.29 i paid for the meat.

i bashed the crap out of it, and i cooked it for 4ish minutes on each side. i made the sauce out of creme fraiche, garlic, crushed black peppercorns, onions and mushrooms. as you can see i included way too many onions and mushrooms so it totally obscures the steak but it IS there, underneath!

moot, i didn't just use any old steak knife.. i used a parisien steak knife! tres chic.

normally i have my steak middle of the road medium, but this fillet was pretty thick, so it ended up more medium-rare.. and i was surprised i quite like it that way. how do youse take yours? damn, i wish you could include polls mid-thread.

Steak?
Money's too tight for steak.
Steak?
Eh, suuure... steak.


i LOVE steak.

my favourite steak is one i make with a whiskey cream sauce mmmmm
(cook steak in pan, remove, add butter to remaining steak juices, add a chopped clove of garlic, simmer, add 2 tsp of mustard (supposed to be french, but youcan use wholegrain or dijon to mix it up a bit), stir. add 2 tbsp of water and 1 tbsp of whiskey, bring to boil, add 3 tbsp of cream, reduce heat and simmer for 2 mins).

otherwise i like to mix tomato sauce/mayo/mustard together as a sauce.

fillet steak is my favourite, but i am too poor for that, so i buy rump.

I always buy the most expensive steak on the menu in restaurants. Fillet mignon? Why yes! Although some of the best steak I've ever eaten wasn't always the most expensive steak at the best restaurant, sometimes I've just bought a standard steak in a pub or something and it's been great.

that appears to be shot of whole grain mustard on the side...class act na§tee!...by the way the garnish suggestion I posted up there works just as well if you replace the red wine and balsamic with white wine and this (http://www.kuehne.de/en/Product_World/mustard/full-grain/index.php)...you can even due a little rue...(y)

i blocked up my colon with sirloin steak tonight. no sauce, just with a chilli and pepper coating - first time i've bought a pre-marinated steak from the shops. jacket potato, broccoli, mushrooms, mustard, red wine. keeping it simple. i thought i could never have come down from my fillet steak high but sirloin is right up there too. nom!

Here is a steak recipe worth trying..

It starts with a filet mignon, marinate them in your favorite Italian dressing for several hours..

I put a large cast iron flat pan on top of my grill and have a stick of butter with me.

Also, I get a bowl or large bag and put flower, salt and pepper in it.

Ok, heat the grill, hot, take the filet out of the Italian dressing, roll it in the flower, get the stick of butter and paint some butter on the cast iron skillet, then put the filet on the boiling butter.

As you flip it, add more butter. Start of real hot and finish off less hot on the grill.

If you do it right, your fiends will say things like, “Dam!, that taste like a $100 steak”
