babs, are you saying that that "thing" on the fork came from that steak on the plate?
10-25-2015 , 08:39 PM

Beast,

Please read the steak thread. Please. I am forgiving of many things but that steak is near my limit. Following the advice in that thread, I am ten for my last ten on my dinner guests raving about my steaks. Six have in fact emailed me after dinner asking how to do it . . . and I'd say I'm no better than average for that thread and probably slightly below. The two most recent steaks you posted look poor, bordering on the criminal.

I do think you take pride in your cooking, and justly so -- some of the grilled vegetables and saffron chicken you've posted look delicious. But turn that pride into effort, read the thread, and improve your steak game. Please, for the love of God.

Sincerely,

Howard

JFC babs...if you've ever taken anyone's advice itt, please take Howard's now. That steak is bordering on inedible.

No wonder he thought the boiled steaks he was getting in Reno were the ****. Any of those were some gourmet **** compared to what he's shown us the last couple of days.

Howard,

The funny thing is I did look over the thread.

I heated the pan about as hot as it would get after putting in some canola oil.

I put kosher salt on the steak and let it sit then rinsed and patted dry.

Cooked both sides for 3 minutes, seared the edge and added a little butter at the end.

It tasted great but I agree didnt look that impressive.

Are you supposed to lower the heat after putting the steak on or leave it on high heat?

Babs,

I think it would help if you recorded yourself cooking.

Try with a NY strip.

You clearly didn't read he thread.


That thing has no business cooking for three minutes each side.

If that's how you cooked it, you didn't read the thread even all the way to the end of the first post. You cook steaks in 2 stages: first to get it to your desired doneness (rare, med-rare, etc); second to get the crust.

Try this with something thicker than your finger.

dont apply your chess game technique to cooking steaks.


Spoiler:
Oh wait looks like you did that already.
