What do you put on your steaks?

[alkemyst]

mostly a mixture of some other things if I have them, but in general:

No measuring...before I add the vinegar I give it a taste/smell, I use a 6x8" or so container...holds about 1.25-1.5 lbs of thick steak nicely.

some chili powder (a good layer)
red pepper (about 5-8 twists of the grinder)
black pepper (about 5-8 twists)
italian seasoning (about a tablespoon)
steak seasoning (I don't care for it, but many like it...big chunks of spice stuff). (about a teaspoon +)
onion and garlic powder (a good layer)
cinnamon or brown sugar (about a half tablespoon)
red wine vinegar (about 1/2 the meat high in the container)

24 hours is the best taste....still good as quick as 10mins a side.

I use this on ribeye and t-bone broiled, and strip steaks I then slice thin for fajitas

I have been asked to make it for people to take home, so I guess it's good.

How do you do it?

Actually had an argument with a family member about this today. It seems that because I like my steak plain and with salt on it that I am aberrant. :roll:

I don't want f*cking blue cheese on a good steak. :| In fact, I don't want blue cheese in anything other than a salad... I don't want blue cheese on my asparagus and I don't want blue cheese in my wine. If I choose to have desert I don't want it there either.

Is it a crime to like a nicely grilled steak with just a little salt on it? :laugh:

:beer:

nothing. if i am gonna eat steak, i only want to taste the steak
and i will only ever eat NY strip steak
and i will only ever eat it Medium Rare.

just salt and just blue cheese seem equally insane to me. Blue cheese on a steak has to rank up with sipping a tea / pinky extended though.

I dont think so. I only like salt on my steak as well. :thumbsup:

The only time to put stuff on a steak is when it is a cheap steak.

 

[LS20]

sometimes salt, sometimes pepper, sometimes butter, too.

This is my sentiment exactly. Good steak needs no help. :beer:

My opinion as well. Lesser cuts of meat need to be marinated IMHO. A good cut of quality steak, properly prepared, needs no flavor enhancement.

not buying cheap steaks here, even when out I don't want a plain steak though.

good pasta is best plain too right?

sort of a narrow vision...

I only put sauce on cheap, nasty steak to cover up the bad taste. On good steak I put on nothing and only add fresh ground pepper and salt prior to cooking.

 

[konakona]

hot sauce is a quick fix to everything.

she not a real steak lover !!

I can't understand all those eating 'bad' steak.

If you are eating out, avoid it...secondly you are usually getting whatever spices the chef decides on.

If you are buying bad steak to cook yourself

egad.

sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Grill on HIGH heat, maybe 5 minutes per side. The high heat scorches the outside, sealing in the juicy meaty goodness.
