Steak Experiences

There is an “I Like Steaks” forum on the Web I like to check out every once in a while. It’s a place where like-minded people (steak lovers) go to talk about, well, STEAK.

Here’s what “Valentine” had to say over at ExperienceProject.com:

Steak is great!  My favorite is Delmonico.  I marinate them overnight with my homemade marinade and then grill them.  Mine is cooked medium rare.  Yum!

Wanna get in on the discussion? Tell me your favorite ways to cook steak — just send them to me in the comments section, and join the discussion over at “I Like Steaks” too!

Oh, ho ho.

Rich. Decadent. Saucy.

The Pioneer Woman says this sauce is almost a side dish on its own.

It looks dreamy.

Mixed with a tender ribeye, just brimming with its own juices? This recipe is absolutely mouth watering.

I am in love.

No More Steak Mistakes!

 

steak mistakes

Fatima cooks steaks that are tough and overdone. Here are some tips to avoid these same steak mistakes:

Tips for Cooking the Perfect Steak:

  1. Steaks must be cooked so that the entire surface caramelizes to form a rich thick crust.
  2. Grill Pan: Bone in Steaks should be grilled outdoors or on an indoor grill pan to achieve maximum contact between heat source and meat
  3. Cast Iron Skillet: Boneless Rib Eye and Strip steaks are the best for pan searing
