Steak - Page 3

SCM · 26-05-2008, 20:01

I prefer cooking it in a griddle but need to buy one again to get the best from steaks, lamb etc when i cook it.

I tend to rub oil into the steak first then dip it into a plate which has salt, black pepper and paprika sprinkled on it. I coat both sides then into the griddle on medium to high heat, as i like my steak well done so once the intial searing is over i cook each side longer covering the griddle with foil to keep all the moisture in while i cook to my taste mmmmm

I've noticed that the better aged the streak the less it bleeds when you cook it rare or blue. That bright red beef you get in the supermarket is full of liquid and if cooked rare it's as tough as leather and bleeds all over the plate. I'd rather pick a smaller steak and get a better cut because it means I'll enjoy it more. It also stays a lot more succelent if you do overcook it.

Leave the steak out for an hour or so, I tend to season it and put some olive oil over it whilst it's out of the fridge.

As Kate said, VERY hot griddle, 20s each side, then put on a plate and put in the over for a few minutes to warm the middle up, it'll go to that nice deep purple colour. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

WIN!

Had a rack of Lamb done like that at the weekend. Was fantastic.

no point eating steak then

i opt for the standard griddle pan, rub meat down with olive oil & black pepper, then a minute max each side.
