The Steak thread

I launched a thread on how to do good pizza. I launched a thread on how to do a good espresso. You now know all my secrets. But I know none of yours. That is not fair! Now here is your opportunity to give some back.

Its time to give steaks the full treatment.

Problem is: different to pizza and espresso, I do not really know how to do a good steak. The recipes are many, and from own experience I got very different results.

I am not really happy with how I try to do good steak. The way I get it done is okay, one can eat it, but it is not special.

We do not talk grilling and barbecue here, but using a kitchen stove, gas or electric. We do talk steaks like you get in our restaurants here, 200-300 gr. And especially we talk aboput how to prepare them to achieve a "medium" to "well done" result". I personally prefer steak without much gimmicks, just salt and black pepper and herbed butter.

I read about baking steaks. Roasting steaks. Putting them in aluminium foil and let them rest. Roasting them twice. Turning them, or not turning them. Turning them several times, or not. Long roasting and short baking. Short roastign and long baking.

Well, what is it now, eh?

Whats the best way to get the perfect restaurant-style steak? Give your recipes, tell me all your secrets!
