How should I cook my steak?

[pontifex]

I only have 2 options, broil or fry on the stovetop. Which will taste the best?

Any spices or anything I should add?

 

[OdiN]

[bigrash]

put it in the microwave

 

[biggestmuff]

magnifying glass?

I mean, come on. Has ATOT digressed to this?

Burn it to a crisp and slather it in A1 and BBQ sauce.

on the stove with a cast iron skillet. coat the steak with oil, salt and pepper. sear on both sides and finish in the oven till medium rare.

You've never cooked a steak before? Did you just quite being vegan or something? Do you live in a cowless area of the world? Did you just quite being a Hindu? What's going on here?

Marinate it and cut it up in small cubes than make a couple fajitas out of it.

pre-heat stove to 500

get cast iron skillet. turn on stove top to high.

lightly coat steak in olive oil and some kosher salt.

get the cast iron skillet really fricken hot!

20 seconds each time.

Throw steak and skillet in stove.

2 min each side.

take out and eat.

Do you have cast iron? If yes, continue below. If no, broil on the rack with something on a rack directly below to catch the drippings.

Cast iron method:

Note: There will be smoke. You will more than likely set off your smoke alarm.

i said i've never cooked a steak before, not that i've never eaten one.

Oh no, not again! In about five seconds the "steak gurus and elitists" should be out in droves, each proclaiming that a bleeding steak is the only way to eat it.
Screw 'em. I like my meat cooked, damn it! Medium well for me, and get out of my face about it. Oh, yeah. And I marinate it for at least a few hours, and preferably overnight.

Is indoor hibachi an option? Just be sure it's ventilated.

We need a steak thread. With a sticky at the top that just says "rare."

Well then you should put a little s&p on it, broil to rare/medium rare, then dig in. That's assuming you have a decent cut of steak of course.

On the stove top in a cast iron skillet at glowing red hot nuclear reactor heat flipping once until just med rare.

 

[pontifex]

i cooked it on the stove top. came out pretty good. fairly tender and pretty juicy.

i should also say that 90% of the steak i have eaten is deer steak, not beef. beef is much better.

Start on stove, finish in oven.
