I teased Lance about pan frying steaks at one time (because he couldn't BBQ at his old place) .....but seriously, up here if someone throws a steak in a pan, with oil or not, the pitchforks and torches tend to come out :lol:

[Hal-9000]

we used to broil them in the oven on the highest rack...that was a good alternative to frying

[PorkChopSandwiches]

frozen steak, blasphemy

[Hal-9000]

we used to buy 1/2 a cow from my Uncle every year....everything was frozen because we just couldn't man up and eat 250 pounds of beef in one sitting :lol:

[Hal-9000]

we've always pulled our meat out in the morning ( :naughty:) and then let it thaw on the counter over the course of 4 or 5 hours. No problemo when cooking, ever

[Loser]

Marinate over night in red wine.

3 minutes on one side, 5 on other, done.

We had a huge deep freezer as well, we would butcher a steer and it lasted a year

[Oofty Goofty]

Then you missed the best part. He cooked it in an oven after the pan of oil. FFS!

:slap: Steaks should be fried and only fried :nono: Put some cooking oil on your hand and rub it into both sides of the steak, get the pan nice and hot then throw the fucker in....... give it 30 secs then flip it...... then turn down the heat and fry it to your desired finish (medium rare for me).

If you ever had some Alberta tenderloin, cooked on a BBQ (at my place because I'm AWESOME at it) ...you would never insult a steak by pan frying it again [-(

This is Scotland, it rains for 355 days a year - barbeque's are kinda infrequent.......... and i stand by my initial statement, any grilling of steak will cause moisture loss [-(

[Hal-9000]

what's next Goof...the Scottish steak toaster? 4 extra wide slots and removable grease tray???? :lol:

[Hal-9000]

tenderloin steak cooked on medium high grill...don't believe that nonsense about moisture loss....it doesn't happen

Google "how to cook the perfect steak" and tell me how long it takes for you to find an answer that says barbeque ;)















Uncultured Canadian swines :x

[Hal-9000]

:hand:

You spend a couple of thousand, get some plane tickets and visit here for a weekend. I'll BBQ some steaks and spuds and stuff....then you can make those uneducated statements.

I'll buy the steak :lol:

[Hal-9000]

and weather is not an excuse...I have shoveled the deck in -30C weather, my pops came out in a parka and snow mitts and we fckn BBQ'ed in a blizzard :lol:

:nono:

Never ever ever stab the meat. Use tongs to flip it over.

You can pan fry the steak in a cast iron skillet to sear it and then throw it in the oven to cook it to your desired finish. Or you could throw it into the broiler and cook it at a ridiculously high heat (1800 degrees or so) (with butter, like they do at Ruth Chris's Steakhouse... the best damn steak I've ever had thus far). Or you could throw it on the grill if you wish... or if you're really hardcore, throw it in the smoker for about 12 hours like real barbecue is done.

Any way you choose, it should be room temperature when you start cooking it.

Omg do they brainwash the entire population over there?

If you've ever eaten a proper BBQ'ed steak with sauce, things like pan frying it will seem like an abomination.


But if that's what you prefer, it is going into your pie hole I suppose

captain ketchup is criticising my method of cooking steak? :-s

get outta here with your ol' steak with lashings and lashings of red sauce :slap:

[KevinD]

Intend to marinate mine while thawing in the fridge overnight. Very, very rarely if it starts pouring down rain , I'll fry them in a pan, otherwise, I grill them

[Hal-9000]

go ahead, keep huffing your paint with the hobos and pan frying your steaks :tup:

Gotta side with Hugh on this one, I don't care how you prefer to cook a steak, if you put ketchup on it before you eat it, then your argument is immediately invalidated :hand:

Ketchup goes on french fries, burgers, and hot dogs, not steaks :nono:

Steaks cry when you pan fry them, it's been proven scientifically :(




and after condiments have nothing to do with the method of cooking....that's like saying boiled wieners are better because the guy puts mustard on them :hand:

Hal puts ketchup on steak? :villagers: So you go through all the pa-lava barbequeing your steak to "so called" perfection then go and ruin it by killing the flavour with ketchup? :-s Uncultured Canadian swine [-(

Ketchup on steak?!?

The only thing that comes close to being as bad as putting ketchup on a steak is ruining it by cooking it to well done. Might as well just eat an old boot.

[Griffin]

I have to admit to putting ketchup on a steak

...albeit said steak was a cheap cut that I pan fried.

:fu:

[KevinD]

Some coon asses (cajun) like to rub steaks with mustard (french's) before cooking them. I'll admit, I thought this was blasphemy, but after trying some, pretty good for a change.

[Hal-9000]

the whole point of my offshoot discussion is bbq'ed or grilled vs fried steak

what you put on before or after isn't the issue...


straight up Kevin if you have the choice - Grilled or pan fried steak? The choice is clear to me.

[KevinD]

Grilled, for sure. Everything else is a poor substitute

[Hal-9000]

Grilled, for sure. Everything else is a poor substitute


couldn't agree more :thumbsup:

:wrong:

You could have the most expensive and tender and succulent piece or prime beef that was ever known to man and you could have cooked it in the ancient ways of the long dead society that worshiped the almighty steak...and none of that will matter if you ruin it with ketchup treating it like a common hamburger.

:wha:

Therefore, you lose....if you are going to ruin a good steak, who the hell cares how it's cooked? Might as well toss it in a clothes dryer at high temp if all you are gonna do is ruin it in the end.

Everybody else > Hal
