Pan-fried steak pwns joo Foo'! So yummy, and done in 21/2 minutes. The best part is the required steak only costs $2.00.

Microwaving pizza? Damn. Why not just take some soggy bread and make a pizza out of that. Nasty.

so my vote is pizza in the microwave.



agreed...searing a steak in a cast iron pan is very good...

1 boneless rib eye steak, 1 1/2-inch thick
Canola oil to coat
Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Place 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet in oven and heat oven to 500 degrees. Bring steak(s) to room temperature.

When oven reaches temperature, remove pan and place on range over high heat. Coat steak lightly with oil and season both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper to taste.

Immediately place steak in the middle of hot, dry pan. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium rare steaks. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)

Remove steak from pan, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.

I think someone has been watching Alton Brown.


you bet...thats a simple and awesome recipe to sear steak

Pan fry a steak - might as well go vegetarian, cause you ain't gonna enjoy it.

Pizza is crap anyway (although delicious in its own right), so nuking it does not matter

If you can't properly cook a steak in a good cast iron skillet you shouldn't be in the kitchen to begin with, period.

Nuking leftover steak is a sin. You shouldnt ever have left over steak to begin with...

pan fried steak is edible. it's not the best, but i can take it.

MICROWAVING PIZZA??? You're eating a soggy piece of sh!t at that point. u might as well eat dog crap instead... If you put it int he oven i can tolerate it.. but microwaving is the sin.

the ignorance is strong in this thread. we should add a poll to see if any of the naysayers have actually even had a REAL pan seared steak.

Yeah, pan seared steak is awesome if you know what you're doing. The hotter the pan, the better! Heat is your friend!

Microwaving a steak, on the other hand, should be punishable by the death penalty. That's just cruelty to meat.

WTF is your problem? I've read enough cooking threads on this forum to know that the vast majority of members here have no clue when it comes to the kitchen.

I sometimes do cheap steaks in my Advantium. Is that cheating?

Pan frying != Pan Searing

fry
Pronunciation Key (fr)
v. fried, (frd) fry·ing, fries (frz)
v. tr.

1. To cook over direct heat in hot oil or fat.


sear

Pronunciation Key (sîr)
v. seared, sear·ing, sears

1. To char, scorch, or burn the surface of with or as if with a hot instrument. See Synonyms at burn1.


I've had both. Frying tastes nasty. Seared rocks. I mean, every single gourmet steak I've has been Pan Seared.

They may be in their 20's but they still are living with their mommies.
