I don't want to limit this Thread to just fried steak so the title allows any way steak can be cooked in a MH. šŸ„©

Here's my starter for ten.

Pepper Steak (It has a fancy French name if you want to use that). :)

Pour some olive oil in a dish, add the steaks and turn them over a few times so they are well coated with oil. Now grind some black pepper on both sides. Leave to rest and turn over every fifteen minutes or so. Add more oil or pepper if it looks like they need it.

After about an hour heat up a dry frying pan and when it is nice and hot add the steaks, I cook them on high for about 90 seconds on each side. Then turn down the heat and add a knob of butter. This isn't traditional but adds flavour.

How long you cook them for is down to how well cooked you want them. But I suggest stop early and put them aside to rest while you...

... add a good glug of red wine to the frying pan and turn the heat up. You want to reduce the wine to the point where it is starting to spit instead of bubble. Just before it reaches this point check the steaks and you should find liquid around them. Add this to the pan and reduce. Less is more, you want it thick and concentrated.

If hungry serve with new potatoes and a salad, or in this case, just a salad.

The above is one of two steaks bought for ā‚¬5.65 in Spain and they were tender and very tasty.

So, how do you like to cook steak in the MH? :)

Alison doesnā€™t like fat, so we tend towards fillet. Unless very thick, max 3 minutes a side on the plancha, pre seasoned with salt and pepper only and served with either rƶsti or French fries if on hookup (ninja). At least 5 minutes resting.

I do like a steak, either well aged Angus Beef or Lamb, normally I do more or less the same as DBK in the Van or The BBQ, letting them rest is so important. Plus some Dijon Mustard on the side for me.:giggle:
I do love a good potato dauphinoise, instead of chips or salad in winter, and funnily enough tonight I found and cooked a "Maille Mustard"recipe for a gratinated Dauphinoise, plus a Dijon sauce to pour over the Lamb steaks, I also added some Capers, and a touch of double cream at the end to the mustard sauce.....amassing!(y)
I really cannot recommend this cheesy, fresh Thyme flavoured Dauphinoise recipe highly enough, its definitely rich, fine dining standard from your own kitchen.(y):cool: and I have enough left over to go with Salmon steaks tomorrow.
PS: Even though we are at home, The Dauphinoise was cooked in The Remoska Oven, the rest done on The Hob.
Enjoy

The cheesy dauphinoise sounds very nice. :)

This is the worst bit of steak I have ever hadā˜¹ļø
In Saarburg last year and Mrs CC said she would go get some steaks for our teašŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤
After getting lost she returned an hour after, now my little Weber BBQ we carry in the van will cook any steak lovely and juicyšŸ¤¤ not these ones, they were the toughest bits of meat with no taste I have ever had and to make matters worse MR CC paid top money for themšŸ˜šŸ˜
At least the dogs enjoyed themšŸ˜

Rib eye for me too ! Marinate in a Ziploc bag with soy sauce, crushed garlic, tiny splash of vinegar and some oil and pop in the fridge. Bring to room temp, few minutes on each side (wife's goes on first as she likes bien cuit) on the charcoal Webber then wrap in tinfoil for ten minutes to rest.

Mine is basic.

Massive ribeye (500 gram plus), bring to room temp for hours before cooking. Salt pepper just before it is put on the hottest BBQ grill I can get. A couple of minutes each side. Rest eat. Rarer the better.
NO SAUCE.

We eat quite a bit of steak as I'm borderline anaemic (great excuse huh :cool: ), and usually buy it in large Rump lumps from Bookers, cut it up and freeze it. So have a few favourites.

The steak itself is usually cooked the same and as others like to do here. Room temp, well seasoned and into a scorching hot pan so a little burnt on the outside, but still very rare (making myself hungry now).

The usuals are either a good steak Madras or chips, onion rings, mushrooms and drown in pepper sauce. But my favs are the following:

1. Vegas Breakfast

I got addicted to this when I used to play poker, many years ago. Everywhere in Vegas serves this all night long. It sounds weird, but trust me, it's lovely.

Grate a potato then wrap it in a tea towel to get out as much water as possible. Season the hell out of it and form into a nice thick (about an inch) patty, then pan fry in lard. Serve with the steak (obvs) and fried eggs.

2. Cowboy Steak

Make (or a pre-made works fine) mash potato, then add sour cream, Philadelphia and grated mature Cheddar. Serve with BBQ baked beans, fried red onions and hot sauce. Probably my fav meal - but Claira hates it (doesn't work without lots of hot sauce and Claira doesn't like it). Even better with Ribeye.

Now I'm really hungry. With no steak defrosted :cry:

I don't think you can get a pan hot enough on a MH burner so unless we're really pushed it's always the Nomad grill (i.e. charcoal) or even a plancha over a wood fire if the site allows - we have a Petromax. The nomad also allows us to reverse sear a steak so we can cook really thick ribeye.

No oil on a steak before cooking either since it'll just burn immediately. Instead I salt it all over a few hours before cooking to dry out the surface and get a good crust.

With the steak, we also keep things simple: we've had a lot of success with chips in the Omnia - either plain old oven chips or better, reheating left over chippy chips (protip, if you're at home over order chips with your fish, they are the best over chips and sublime if you refry them in a fryer :)

Also, salad, green with vinaigrette.

Best peppered steak I have had, was in a French hotel with a one star Michelin restaurant. It was impregnated with pepper corns.

Looks like frying steak, so it would be tough if you grilled it

Not exactly a steak recipe, but this is our traditional first night meal, served with a nice salad and bottle of red....

Get a nice thick Fillet, take your best Damascus steel knife, slice the Fillet so thinly you can see through it, lay out on a plate seasoned with Wasabi infused extra virgin Olive Oil.

Shave Parmigano Reggiano Vacche Rosse across the sliced Fillet generously, (remembering the cheese is a side act, not main bidding) another drizzle of the Wasabi infused Olive Oil.

Take a Natoora sweet white onion, remove the skin and root and slice thin translucent slices and liberally place over the plate, and finally tear some Jerusalem Basil and sprinkle over the plate.

Pour a glass of chilled ā€˜Hawkstoneā€™ lager, and you have food heaven

I always use to like a nice medium rare sirloin u til a friend got me to try rib eye. I agree with Chris it is definitely better.
The one thing I have learnt from watching chefs on TV is that you do need to see some fat running through any beef to get a good flavour.

Oh and please if you want to be seen as a steak ā€œnewbā€ donā€™t attempt to try time travel?

A steak starts off raw (best for some cuts) then blue, goes to rare, cooks through to medium before itā€™s utterly ruined

You cannot cook a steak ā€˜Mediumā€™ and then un cook it back a bit towards being medium rare!

The correct term is ā€˜rare to mediumā€™ meaning cooked through rare, on its way towards medium!

These things are important

Went to pictures Saturday night then onto a ā€œspecialistā€ steak house!
Wasnā€™t anything special and Mrs CC said she prefers the way I cook steakšŸ˜

Very rarely have steak when going out in this country as they are normally rubbish the exception being The Hawksmoor in Covent GardenšŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹ best steak place I have been to in the UK.
