What is your favorite steak cut? How do you cook it at home? Or do you only eat it at a restaurant?

Discuss everything steak here!

Strip loin (New York Steak) here! I BBQ all year round, and this is often on my grill, though prices have been through the roof of late.

I have a lovely Cajun spice mix I slather them with, depending on mood, of course.

I love spiced food, although with steak in particular, I prefer fewer spices so that the taste of the meat is more prominent.

How do you make yours? I like medium-rare and, to a lesser extent, rare.

New York Strip on the grill; Filet Mignon in a cast iron pan that finishes in the oven (not very often, it's pricey).

I have yet to try cooking steak in the oven. Is it easy to make it medium-rare if cooked that way?

The process is to sear it in the pan on both sides on top of the stove, and then put the pan under the broiler in the oven to finish (it doesn't take long). I like it medium rare, the trick is to not leave it in the oven too long. We use a meat thermometer to avoid over-cooking.

I used to use olive oil but now its colza (rapeseed oil), it's healthier

Thanks! I'll give both of these a try. There are still a few steak cuts I would like to try.

Porterhouse, Ribeye, or NY strip (I'm not too picky). Medium rare. Usually done on a backyard grill with the family. Brushed with olive oil and seasoned with salt, black and red pepper, minced garlic and onion. Top with sautéed mushroom. Best steak sauce is Kikkoman's.

Med-rare, not so rare that it still "Moo's!" As @ChristineM replied, 1 minute per side, though on the BBQ, that is more like 90 seconds.

One particular steak I also enjoy is with a peppercorn rub. This concoction really does enhance the taste of the meat without overpowering one's taste buddies.

That sounds very nice! I tend to use onion juice, salt, and ground black pepper for the seasoning.

Do you prefer garlic or onion for steak seasoning, generally?

I like it rare, if I'm cooking for guests i ask how they like it,
1.5 minutes/side = rare
2.5 minutes/side = medium
3.5 minutes/side = burnt


The peppercorn rub reminded me, a tablespoon of fresh pepper corns, folded into a tea town and cracked with a mallet. Warmed with fresh single cream makes a great sauce for steak
