Cooking A Good Steak - Page 1320 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Sauce on any beefsteak* is wrong. At most fresh sautéed mushrooms scattered on the surface is sufficient. If a sauce is required that means a substandard cut of beef and/or a poor cook or chief.

*junky cuts of beef should be used for stews or casseroles.

The French scum have a plethora of sauces; the main reason for their invention and use was to cover the bad taste of the meat since much was rancid or near rotten. Just like the French themselves.

I had a superb dinner in Toulouse; the main course was pigeon in a foie gras sauce. Of course the appetizer was rat tails wrapped in skunk cabbage. You choked it down with the aid of the wine.

And this example just exemplifies the boring beef, chicken, or pork of the American diet. Boring, boring and boring.

I highly recommend Bruichladdich 10 year Port Charlotte if you’re a Lag fan. Should be even cheaper.

Thanks for the rec! I'm gonna give it a try.

That looked excellent until you poured pickle juice all over it.

As someone who has had notoriously bad results on the charcoal grill, I thought this was a fair effort on my part (aside from the weak sear):

Looks a decent sear to me, and perfect inside. Good job!

I’ve had really delicious steaks with sauce. Taiwanese black pepper sauce sirloin steaks and French (sirloin) steak Dianes immediately come to mind.

Sirloins just lack the flavor to carry a main dish.

picked up a tomahawk steak this morning...

I know that its not really worth it at all considering how much you are paying just for the bone, but they had a big discount this morning and since i've always wanted to try cooking one, might as well make it today!

Tomahawk was on sale, always wanted to try. It was giant, about 3 lbs total. Def expensive when you consider the cost of the bone being weighed, but wife loved the way it looked and eating the edges directly off the bone, so requested it for thanksgiving. a win for me!!

What if I told you the very best stovetop steak of your life can be enjoyed in as little as 45 minutes, with only four extra ingredients and 15 minutes of hands-on cooking? It’s true! Busting conventional steak-cooking wisdom makes for better steak.
