Steak: Frozen With Salt

Well, here is yet another method of cooking steak I have not heard.

Melanie at Lifehacker.com suggests searing a FROZEN steak first, then placing it in the oven at a low temperature for up to an hour (depending upon how well done you prefer it).

Writer Brandon Matzek says of this method: “The contrast of the salty, golden crust and the smooth, buttery center is just pure heaven.”

Hey, that sounds marvelous! Sign me up!

It had never occurred to me to not let a steak thaw before starting the cooking process. This sounds pretty intriguing.

What do you think? Would you try this?

How Do You Like Your Steak?

This photo chart from the Sheraton Hotel in Akron, Ohio, is a helping hand for guests when deciding how they want their steak cooked.

It also might serve as a subliminal message to, in fact, order a steak. It sure makes ME crave one!

So cool! I’m thinking of framing this and putting it over my mantel. Yum.

I found this online steak guide on Pinterest. I’ve said it before — if you haven’t yet checked that site out . . . DO IT! It’s so entertaining!

Happy cooking, everybody!

Cooking Filet Mignon Video

Filet Mignon from Kansas City Steak Company on Vimeo.

The corporate chef at the Kansas City Steak Company has some great tips for us on how to cook a fantastic filet.

Thank goodness. I’m going to be listening up because I don’t always know what I’m doing at the helm of a grill. Any advice he has would be a good thing for me to pay attention to.

And I certainly wouldn’t want to ruin a perfectly beautiful filet mignon! That would be a crime.

Check out the video here and get the perfect filet to grill while you’re at it!

Happy grilling, everybody!
