Video recipe(Perfect steak)

Monday, March 12, 2007

For a lot of people the thought of cooking a restaurant quality steak at home can be very scary. I really can't see the point of going out and spending 30/40 dollars on something that you can very easily replicate at home. The key here is spending the money in a good supermarket or butchers for a well aged 1 inch thick ribeye steak. Add the side dishes of your choice but with the steak cooked like this you are more than halfway to a fantasic meal already!

Ingredients
1 Large 1 inch thick ribeye steak
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Splash of good balsamic

how simple! i'm cooking my steak like this next time :)

Unknown said...

Wow. I love your blog. Awesome work man.

don't those restaurants buy very specific pieces of meat and also cook them at over 1000 degrees for that incredible taste? I have never had a home cooked steak, at anyone's house that could match the taste of Ruth's Chris or the like.

what temperature setting should the pan be at?

Christos said...

Nice video. I think my steak is better than Ruths Chris. I personally don't put any salt on the steak since it sucks out a lot of the juices, and cook it on a grill. The balsamic vinegar is a nice touch.

Tex said...

That is one way of doing it. I prefer Alton Brown's method, of using an Iron skillet, heated super hot, and then transfered to a salamander/broiler to finish cooking it.

Unknown said...

Well done how to... (or should that have been medium-rare?). We enjoyed the video.

Unknown said...

You probably shouldn't use olive oil- it has a low smoke point which means that it will burn in a very hot pan. Maybe he likes the taste of burnt olive oil?

Wow I love your Blog. Since I stopped watching natural TV a while ago and switched to Joost and online streams, I haven't yet come across a cooking show. Thanks a lot for another good web2.0 artist!

I stumbled upon your recipe today and thought that I just had to try it. I just finished eating the best steak I have ever cooked. Thank you for showing me the way.

Colm said...

Excellent work. Not sure if you've started showing your posts on the Irishblogs.ie site.

Keep it up.

Please buy a mic.

The audio - with all the background noise - sucked.

Good steak, crap audio.

I JUST tried this. Worked great! First time I have ever tried cooking a steak myself. The warming to room temperature was excellent advice.

Well, Ruths Chris and Don Shulas and other steakeries as I call them do use a special, Angus generally, beef. They also do use several hundred degree, I believe 600 degrees, or more to sear the outside of the beef, thus locking the juices inside the beef. What is strange is how this man is using Salt before he has cooked the beef. Salting beef or any meet before the side has cooked can dry out the meat. I guess if he is using a hot enough pan, it will sear the outside and be a cheater way to create the great steak flavor. IMO, there is nothing that beats a HOT HOT charcoal grill and a good cut of beef.

Jon Jones said...

I've never made steaks before, but after watching this video, I followed its directions and made two delicious steaks that my girlfriend and I both loved. We're doing it again this week! Thanks so much for the tutorials, and keep them coming! :)

Buddy Joe said...

Thanks so much... my steak was great!

Larry said...

Salting meat really only dries it out if it has adequate time to do so. The few seconds that it is on prior to hitting the heat isn't long enough for the salt to actually draw out any juice.

Personally I ahve tried it both ways and I find I like it better salted before cooking rather than after.

Maybe if you are using iodized salt you'd get a different result, but Idon't think any of us are probably doing that anyway.

I've had this page in my bookmark bar for a while now and finally decided to try it. Definitely one of the best steaks I've ever had... and I cooked it myself! Thanks and keep up the excellent work!
