    I use a fork to tenderize the meat, and then pour warm melted real butter on them, use a little garlic salt and course ground black pepper. I then put them in a vacuum container and put a good vacuum on them to draw in the butter/garlic salt/pepper. I let it sit at room temperature for a couple of hours and then sear each side for about 30 seconds, then cook to taste.

          I was reading the Alton Brown recepie posted in this thread and thought maybe somebody had any answer. Can you us cast iron on an electric range? Coil by the way, not flat surface.

            Yup. Of course it doesn't work as well as a gas range but it's what I'm forced to use at my apt.

                  If its a good cut of meat...

                  salt, pepper, and butter (maybe a little garlic) are the only things that should touch the steak before it hitting some sort of broiler..

                  On the regular grocery store meats... a jaccard machine is a great investment and your buddies will wonder why your steaks are soo much more tender (lots of restaurants use them) than the ones they cook at home.. Add whatever you think tastes good...

                    I've been using this method for a while now. Works fantastic.

                      it's unhealthy at best, but it's fucking delicious!!!!!!!!

                      I got my recipe off of FoodTV's website

                      get some GOOD white wine vinegar, some fresh tarragon, and a decent white wine...

                      we found a good pinot grigio vinegar, so we typically buy a decent bottle of pinot for the recipe

                      I was always of the mind that steak needed no sauce. Then I tasted the filet w/ bernaise @ mortons!

                        This is what I do. Sometimes mix up the seasoning, but usually just salt.

                            I don't think bernaise should be grouped into the A1 sauce type category so you are safe on that one.

                            Filet Oscar FTW!

                              • Another +1 for Sprouts. I found some prime New York Strips on sale for $4.99/lb a while back. Let's just say we ate a lot of steak that week....

                                I usually buy choice and use the salt method if I can't find any reasonably priced prime cuts. We usually buy strips, ribeyes or sirloin. I think sirloin tastes the best IMO when done right.

                                Haven't had a good steak in a while though. My wife is pregnant and can't have anything other than well done steak so she'd rather not have steak at all. Funny thing is, she used to ONLY eat steak well done until I converted her.
