How does HF members like their steak cooked? - Smexi - Mar 25, 2017
Today is Saturday so for me that means pan seared steak day. I personally love a done to well done steak. The thought of a rare steak disgust me really. Medium done is pushing the limits!
My steaky :)
How I cook my steak.
1. SALT SALT SALT and a lil pepper. (I believe letting a steak sit at room temp is a waste of time).
2. Fill cast iron skillet with just under enough oil to fill the bottom of the skillet. Fun fact: I use Canola Oil preferably as it is not a strong tasting oil and doesn't take away from the flavor of the steak. Also, at this point I turn the oven on to 450 degrees.
3. Heat Canola Oil to fill the bottom in a cast iron skillet until it starts to smoke a little at high temp.
3. Tilt cast iron skillet a bit away from me a slow place the steak in the skillet with tongs.
4. Sear it for 3 minutes on one side, flip it over and sear the other side for 1 1/2 minutes.
5. Slide that juicy girl into the oven for about 12 minutes as I like my steak very done.
6. Extra step for yummy in the tummy. I will wrap the steak in foil for 5 minutes with butter on both sides to add that extra fatty goodness.
I like to use a steak that is about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Usually a Porterhouse or a NY strip.

Yeah I'm with you. Well done or medium-well. I also dip it in sauce which probably drives steak enthusiasts insane.

Well done is the fucking way to go.

Medium rare, well seasoned. All the way.
If I'm in a nice place though I'll ask for the steak to be cooked the way the chef would want it cooked. It's always good. 🤝

Medium rare is the best way to have it. Not to chewy and still juicy, as well as all seasoning and peppercorn sauce. So very tasty.

I like to get mine medium rare. When I was younger though I would get well done since I didn't know any better.

Nooo you lose most of the flavor like that :(((
Medium well is the way to go not to done and still not like taking a bite out of a cow.

Well done is the way to go. With some A1 Steak sauce.

Medium rare steaks are the best, seasoning is optional, but obv a good steak has great seasoning.
I don't cook, but my dad makes some baller steaks.

You do not lose the flavor if you cook it correctly.

As long as the outside is seared I'll eat it. Somewhere between blue and rare is ideal.

I take my steak rare most of the time, like the blood.

I prefer well done / medium, and with peppersauce.
