How to cook steak?

Types of Beef Steaks:





Choosing the correct cut of meat is very important when grilling. Some of the best steaks for grilling are the premium cuts. Thickness of the steak is very important. Each cut should be between 1 inch and 1 陆 inches thick. The strip steaks and top sirloin should be a little less expensive than the filet mignon, t-bone, porterhouse, and rib eye.

Filet Mignon or Tenderloin - The filet mignon is a stylish cut taken from the heart of the beef tenderloin that has outstanding taste as well as texture. They're the most tender steaks you can buy, though not the most flavorful.

















Filet Fraud - Don't be fooled!





Also known as mock tender steak, fish steak, chuck fillet steak, chuck tender steak, shoulder petit tender.





Some less-than-honorable butchers and restaurants serve and sell cheaper cuts of meat that they masquerade as expensive filet mignon.





Real filet has a very fine grain and a buttery texture with no connective tissue. The chuck tender has more marbling and noticeable connective tissues. In other words, it is tougher.























New York Strip - The New York strip is such an excellent cut for grilling, many grilling experts refer to it as the ';ultimate'; steak for cooking out.











Porterhouse - The Porterhouse is a very large steak that is actually a combination of two steaks: the New York strip on one side and a tender filet on the other. Many believe these to be the best of all steaks.





Rib Eye - Another classic cut, the rib eye has marbling throughout the meat - making it one of the juiciest cuts as well as very tender.














T-Bone - Named for its distinguishing T-shaped bone, this choice cut is almost identical to a Porterhouse steak, only it doesn't have as much of the tenderloin muscle in it. The T-bone steak is a succulent cut that is a favorite of steak fans. It is both a strip sirloin (with the bone) and a tender filet mignon.














Top Sirloin - The sirloin is near the rump, so the meat's a bit tougher than cuts from the loin or the rib. The top sirloin is a juicy cut taken from the center of the sirloin - the most tender part - and a great cut for grilling.How to cook steak?
You can pan sear it and pop it in the oven, fry it in a pan, deep fry it (my least favorite), grill it, broil it, george forman it :) There are many different ways and I choose the method depending on the cut of meat. The better quality of meats I do not season and I grille, the lesser quality of meats I cook slower and with seasoning. How long you cook it will depend on how well done or rare you like your meat.How to cook steak?
Grilling is best. Season with your favorite seasoning or a little season salt or a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Don't cook it so that it's done all the way through, it will be tough. Leave it pink in the center, a couple minutes on each side should do it.
season both sides then three minutes each side (for rare) in a hot pan

Romantic dinner?

we're both in college. she's coming over Saturday. my parents are going on a cruise tomorrow. i'm gonna propose next week in disney world too... but saturday, like I said, parents are gonna be gone and i want 2 make her a romantic dinner. something delicious and fairly simple. I already have a bottle of wine for us. what can i make? i know how to cook steak, but I don't know if it's romantic or not. Here's where I can shop. local grocery stores or wal-mart. I need a meal and romantic dessert. maybe chocolote strawberreis or strawberries and champagne, like in pretty woman... lol! anyways. help me out please!Romantic dinner?
omg, you are too sweet! I think that if you both love steak, do steaks - get some nice ones, like filet mignon, (they are extremely nice with au poivre sauce - yum!) and serve them with asparagus (add some hollandaise sauce, if you like - just don't do the sauce if you're doing a sauce on the steak!) and some roasted red potatoes with dill or parsley. Starting the dinner off with a nice salad would be great, or do a shrimp cocktail appetizer. Or you could do some grilled shrimp alongside the steaks! I love the strawberries in Champagne idea - It's beautiful and romantic, too! It would be a great tie-in to chocolate covered strawberries for dessert, or you could do a chocolate decadance cake with a strawberry sauce drizzled over it.


If you are wanting to do something different then steaks, think about shrimp scampi over linguine, or chicken florentine or piccata, or steamed lobsters, or whatever you both love. No matter what you do, she will love it, I assure you!


Best wishes!Romantic dinner?
If u wanna win...u gotta know what she likes to eat! Seafood? Chicken lover? Beef lover? Dude help me out so i can help u make her stomach luv ya!
The previous people are right....how do we know what she likes to eat??? It makes it difficult to suggest anything if we don't have a clue!





However, most women love pasta...so shrimp fettachinii (sp) or a good steak, baked potato, salad and cheesecake with strawberries over top?





Candles and soft music will set the stage, and if she's into you, hon, anything you fix will light her fire! Have a wonderful evening....p.s. cook something that you know how to do with success....and look good and smell good, and she'll be hooked!
How about lasagne and a green salad (there's a fairly simple recipe on the back of the box of noodles if you've never made it before; get the no boil noodles, they are easy), good bottle of red wine, nice china and tall candles on the table...Cheese and fruit for dessert (grapes, sliced apples and strawberries are good with cheeses)...Candlelight and soft music playing in the backround makes any meal romantic, I just like lasagna coz' it's Italian...
Make a nice salad with field greens, dried cranberries, walnuts and goat cheese .. lightly dress it with a little salt and pepper and raspberry vinegar.





Then a nice, simple seafood paella .. foodtv.com has tons of simple recipes. This is a romantic meal because you have to use your fingers and it's relaxed and fun.





And finish off with a nice dessert .. like the chocolate and strawberries.





Serve white sangria with the entree and champagne or a good quality port with dessert.
make this the night before...... buy garlic bread, chill the wine and you are set!





spaghetti pie














12 servings





Ingredients





3 tablespoons butter, softened


1 pound spaghetti


salt, for pasta


12 eggs, lightly beaten


1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese


¼ cup extra virgin olive oil


1 garlic clove, very finely minced


½ cup Italian parsley, chopped


salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste


1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded





Equipment





9” x 12” baking dish, preferably glass€





Preparation





Lightly grease the inside of a 9” x 12” baking dish with the butter. Preheat the oven to 350° F.





Prepare the spaghetti according to the package directions and undercook by 2 or 3 minutes. It should be very al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water. Set aside.





Beat the eggs lightly to combine. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, finely minced garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.





[Chef’s Note: Be sure not to add too much salt as the cheese has plenty of salt already.]





Add the egg mixture to the spaghetti and mix until all the spaghetti is well blended with the eggs. Pour into the buttered baking dish and spread the spaghetti mixture evenly in the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until the eggs are completely set. Uncover the spaghetti pie and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake, uncovered, for another 5 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool.





Service





Spaghetti pie is best served at room temperature. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If longer storage is required, it can be wrapped in plastic wrap and then in foil and placed in the freezer for up to a month. Thaw and bring back to room temperature before serving.





Variations





Spaghetti pie is one of those delightful recipes that can be creatively adapted to individual tastes. Feel free to add your own special ingredients such as pepperoni, prosciutto, maple ham, sun dried tomatoes, blanched vegetables or other types of grated cheese. You can also substitute whole wheat or spinach spaghetti, or even linguine or fettucine.

Steak Dianne- Taking a steak to the 10th power, delicious


2 (8 ounce) beef sirloin steaks


1 tablespoon butter


1/4 cup brandy


1 onion, minced


1 clove garlic, minced


1/2 cup red wine


2 tablespoons steak sauce


1 dash Worcestershire sauce


salt and pepper to taste


1/2 (4 ounce) package button mushrooms, sliced


1/2 cup Dijon mustard, divided


1 cup heavy cream


DIRECTIONS


Place the steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap; pound with a kitchen mallet to tenderize.


Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, and heat until it begins to smoke. Cook the steaks for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they have browned. Pour brandy over steaks and carefully ignite. Once the flames burn off, remove steaks from the pan and set aside.


Cook the onion and garlic in the same skillet over medium heat until they soften. Stir in the red wine, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; mix well. Mix in the mushrooms, stir, and cook for about 5 minutes.


Meanwhile, coat one side of each of the steaks with 2 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard. Gently lay them on top of the sauce in the skillet, mustard-side down. Spread 2 tablespoons on top of the steaks. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the steaks from the sauce, and keep warm.


Stir the cream in to the mushroom sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, return the steaks to the sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve with rice or baked potato.


Have a nice vegetable like Steamed asaparagus with butter and lemon.


Now dessert to win her heart...Women love chocolate, dont let em kid ya...





SIMPLE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE


Since the chocolate is the only flavour giving ingredient in this recipe, it is most important to use first class dark chocolate with a good, deep chocolate flavour.





100 g bittersweet chocolate with high cocoa content (min. 50 %)


1 egg


100 - 150 ml cream


Chop the chocolate and put in a bowl. Place the bowl in a barely simmering water bath but do not let its bottom touch the water. Let the chocolate melt.





Remove the bowl from the water bath, stir the chocolate smooth and let it cool for about 10 minutes in room temperature. Meanwhile, whip the cream until stiff.





Check the temperature of the cooled chocolate with your finger — it should feel just faintly warm. Brake in the egg and mix gently but firmly with a balloon whisk until smooth. The egg will thicken the mixture.





Using the balloon whisk, mix in about 1/3 of the whipped cream and stir firmly and thoroughly until smooth. Then fold in the rest of the cream, stirring gently with the whisk. Pour the mixture into serving dishes, cover tightly with plastic and place in refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.


Serves 2 to 4.

How to cook steak?

depends on how you like its doneness.





heres an easy way. pepper salt garlic chopped onions- all to your taste. (you can use ingredients during or after cooking. it really is up to the chef to decide.)


cook in a skillet on med heat with a tablespoon of oil





how to tell how well done a steak is: touch your thumb tip to your 1st finger tip. the meaty part of your palm(next to your thumb) is how a rare steak feels.





touch your thumb to your pinky tip. that is how a well done steak feelsHow to cook steak?
Very easy. Important is first the quality of the piece of meat. A good rump steak with some rim of fats or a fillet steak is definitely my favorite.


Wash it and dry it with a paper towel. Take a frying pan, put a bit of cooking oil into it and heat it up (you drop a small drop of water into it and it has to give a loud sound). Then put the steak inside. A one inch thick steak should be fried 3 minutes from each side to be medium upon completion. Add salt and pepper according to your liking AFTER you took it out of the pan, never during cooking.


Enjoy your steak!How to cook steak?
Medium for me. Just some pink in the middle.

The best options are a local butcher or gourmet market. Ribeye and ny strip(shell) steaks are the best for the money. You can pay anywhere from $6-$28 a lb depending on the grade and location
NY strip is the best!!
My all time favorite is a Tbone steak, I mean you cant go wrong with one of those....:)
