i always fry eggs in butter. i dont like doing it in bacon fat because it makes the eggs look kinda nasty.

He said coconut oil, not regular oil.

Eggs in bacon fat is pretty darn tasty.

I prefer my bacon undercooked, so most of the fat on it doesn't get 'released'. It tastes much better that way, and the texture is better as well. Actually raw bacon is really fucking good too. Not the packaged kind filled with nitrites though - actual cured bacon.

try to stfu and get back on the op's topic


Everyone expect for majinhurricane posted good tips.. Make sure you use corse salt and pepper. I usually pat both the corse salt and pepper in , to prevent them from falling off.

I usually add a wrapped bunch of rosemary to "infuse" the oil/butter and leave it on their during cooking.. After the flip i will take the rosemary off. It does add a very light aroma to the steak.

Oh, and try to spoon the butter onto the steak when it cooks. This soaks the butter evenly and keeps it nice and moist..

here is a good youtube video.

^I've heard that you're not supposed to flip the steak over multiple times, which contradicts with that video's instructions (to give it 2 minutes on each side, flipping multiple times)...

unit 03-03-2010 07:56 PM

he didnt. he just rotated it. the heat was still only on each side once.

I like it that way too.

What I really like though is this bacon i had in vietnam. It was grilled and had a super crunchy skin and just super soft meat under it.

damn good stuff.

that video is similiar to the way i cook it ... it turns out good

All the tips have been said.

If you can get your hands on some Spanish Paprika or Smoked Paprika, I like to season my steaks with that along with Course Salt and Pepper, it makes a really good flavour to the steak.

You can buy Smoked Paprika at most stores.

I prefer cooking my steak on a pan, hot and fast. Costco steaks,they come in a 3-pack, about 1.25" thick, don't remember if it's a sirloin or rib-eye, all I remember is they're THICK lol

Anyways, I take the steaks out of the fridge and let it sit at room temp. for about 30mins prior to cooking. Then I heat up the pan, high heat. I do last minute seasoning. Hy's seasoning salt and fresh cracked pepper. That is all. No oil/butter necessary, cause the Costco cuts have nice fat on the edges and decent marbling.

I sear each side of the steak first to get some good browning going, to seal in the juice and get some steak fat going. Then I cook each side about 3-4mins. Only lifting the steak up to take a peek around the 2.5 minute mark. BAM! Medium Rawrrrr steak. Remember to let the steak rest for a few minutes before you devour it.

Didnt you also claim to fuck an Olympic athlete without a condom? I think the last of your worries is gonna be the potential health risks of cooking olive oil at high heat.

!oHenry 03-10-2010 09:57 PM

If you have a thermometer, the internal temperature of a medium rare steak is 125-130F. Or, if you prefer, you can do the touch test. Relax your hand and touch your thumb to your middle finger. Feel the muscle just under your thumb. Your steak should feel bout the same for a medium rare.

Hope this helps

Olive oil ruins the flavour of the steak. Butter is a more complementary oil for steak imho.

Ok, stay on topic, dammit.

1. when i worked at boston pizza back in the day, we put montreal steak spice on it. It's a combo of salt, pepper and a few spices i think.

Grilled it and used this method to tell doneness:
http://www.thecitycook.com/cooking/a...general/000024

stupid fucking method to teach a lazy, tired 19 year old, which 75% of us were at the time.

2. also the thing to look for is the amount of marbling, which is fat, which is awesome

3. ialso believe that with a sirloin, u get all the good shit but because the bone is in, less work for the butcher, so u pay less

mindcruising 03-17-2010 11:16 PM

IMPORTANT!!! pat dry the meat before u do grill, this prevents the steak from steaming and it'll brown nicely simple salt and pepper or monteal steak spice works.

That cooking video was more suitable for a blooper reel on the food network

Even pro cooks and chefs use and teach the thumb-meat finger method.

TheSalesman 03-18-2010 01:15 PM

does anyone else here use the george foreman grill?
I just use some montreal steak spice on the steak and throw it on the grill.
About 4-6mins depending on the thickness of it. DONE!
