tiger steak. 30 seconds on each side. mmmm. just kidding. know a guy that eats his steak like that. grosses me out, there is just a puddle of blood when its gone.
1 and a quarter inch thickness i go for 4 minutes one side and 3 minutes the other. then i let it sit for 10 minutes, because cutting into a steak after you just cooked it is blasphemy. ends up as medium rare.
anything above medium is blasphemous, and only kids and faint-hearted women can order medium. The only reason to cook beef through is if it's shit beef (see: taco bell).
Also, to whoever above said Kobe is a cut of beef, it isn't. It's both a type of beef and a label for beef in the US, but they are not remotely similar. the Type of beef is from Wagyu cows raised in Kobe, Japan, and it's the most sublime beef money can buy. The "Kobe" you often see advertised is actually just angus, and not even remotely close in quality to Wagyu beef.
speaking of steak, on saturday I am having a dry aged bone-in frenched ribeye, super stoked, though it set me back a sizable portion of my weekly income.
It's all preference man, I prefer mine well done, I don't want to be chewing on it like a piece of gum. It cooks all the flavor of whatever you season it with right into the core.
I went to this ridiculous steak place, right in the town of whistler. I forget whats its called someone here might know, Like a real upscale place. I was young and really didnt know anything at the time. When the waiter asked me how I wanted my steak, I replied um idk medium to well. He laughed at me and said "nah ill give it to you rare"...It was the best steak I have ever had.
if you go to a nice place and order anything above medium, you are insulting the chef. seriously, it is like saying "i dont trust the food to not make me sick, and i dont trust you to make it taste good".
You get the shitty steaks with crap marbling when you order over cooked steaks. its really poor form.
tip #1, buy quality meat. if your steak is cooked rare to medium and its chewy you either cooked it wrong or bought shitty meat. there is nothing more tender and flavorful than a steak cooked properly to medium rare. the flavor you like from cooking it until its dead is still accomplished by cooking the meat for a much shorter time at much much higher temps. that way the outside gets charred and flavorful while the center remains juicy and retains its natural flavor.
Rare FTW!! Sometimes I'll have my steak medium rare, but mostly I eat it rare. Actually, I just had some rare steak for dinner tonight. Some lemon juice and montreal steak spice and thats whats up, so damn good!
No, its just because I don't like rare meat. People say that over cooked beef is tough and chewy, to me its not. I do not find medium> tender at all, I hate it. I will continue to "overcook" my steak to what I prefer.
This is what I came in here to post, please excuse my rantish thang. I have had that raw beef sliced extremely thing (not sure what it is called) and it was delicious.
