I prefer to make a spice rub for my steaks or marinade.

One thing that I do is cut a bunch of slits into a nice new york cut. Fill them with fresh chopped garlic cloves. I then make a spice rub with Majoram, Thyme, Rosemary, Savory, Sage, Oregano and Basil. Rub the steak generously on both sides with the spices and then wrap up the steak and let it sit in the fridge for about 4-6 hours. Or just season in the morning and leave it in until you get back from work or whatever. Then cook it on a grill or whatever method you like. Makes a good italian seasoned steak. No need for any steak sauce or anything else.

If you like garlic you will like that steak. I use about 3-4 cloves of garlic per steak.

You should have your beef buying privileges taken away from you. Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper is all that you need.

You're an idiot.

Thanks for the fine remark

Thanks for you original remark which reeks of ignorance.


I think you should apply what you have written in your sig before you fly off the handle over a piece of meat.

I think you should learn what "fly off the handle" means.

Followed this step by step.

I had like a 1" thick steak, maybe a tad more like 1.25 or something. Anyways, the inside was still too red. I like my steak medium rare, but this was too red inside.

I recommend a LONGER TIME frying initially with a lower flame. This won't burn the outside as much and will get a nicer red/pink inside.

Alton Brown didn't exactly patent what is basically the "standard" way to cook a steak.

I'm not sure I get how UltimateBob's method saves that much time since you can spend the time it takes for the oven to preheat prepping the meat and making the side dishes.

Also, it pretty much takes just as long to get my skillet that hot on the stovetop as it does in the oven.

What a waste of money on a strip to do that to it.

Why do you say that? It tastes excellent.
Because you could mangle a much cheaper steak with all that stuff and have it come out exactly the same.

I'm not mangling anything.
You're losing juices (amount depending on the depth, length, and number of slits), in addition to suppressing the natural flavor of the meat.

There are many different ways to make a steak. I make them many different ways. This just happens to be one of the better tasting methods. It's quite tender and I don't lose any juices.

Don't mind the steak snobs, cook it the way you like. Personally, that is too much seasoning on a steak for me but if you like it, more power to you.

Why in the world would you muck up a perfectly good steak this way?

Totally ruined piece of meat you have right there.

That is not his method either.

All fine steak places use this "method" and have been for decades.
