mmmmmmm the steaks are cooking. The smell is intoxicating! What do you like to put on your steaks?
Rub with olive oil, sprinkle with dry mustard powder, shower with cracked (or fresh ground) pepper and then just before you throw them on the b.b.q. salt them quite heavily. Salting too early draws the moisture out of the steaks and makes them tough. Keep salting (not as heavy now) and putting on pepper every time you flip or rotate them. Dont worry about the dry mustard powder - it wont make the steaks taste too hot. Cant beat it with a stick.
Come on, no one uses A1? That stuff is the sh**. I put it on everything. However, an interesting combination is Szechwan (cant spell that) Steak with roasted mushrooms from Bamboo in East Hampton, NY. Heaven on earth.
Marinate the steak in olive oil and garlic. Then after its cooked put a little bit of salt on it, and some tony romas bbq sauce on the side.
I know a few people who use A1 on steak... I cringe when they ask for it at nice restaurants, and cringe again when they drown a good steak in it.
You COOK your steak??! I like mine rare, and with a nice dusting of sea salt and peppercorn...and with a nice ale or merlot.
hahah no, my dad does. I'm not allowed to cook in the kitchen. things seem to explode when i try to cook
there's a very funny French chef episode where Julia is cooking some red meat cut and when she gets to the part where she tells you how to cook it, she stops what she's doing, gets very serious, and tells the viewer that red meat is to be cooked Medium-Rare, and if you don't like that, go eat something else. doody.
