Steak in the oven? I'd be careful. Might come out very dry.
I'd fry the steak in butter or olive oil.
A really hot pan, seal one side, flip it and seal the other side. Done

Best way to cook steak is to flash fry, oven cooking tends to dry it out loads and you have to be careful as it can become leathery..

I've never heard of cooking it in the oven, I suppose you could smother it with butter crushed garlic black pepper and cajun/steak spices the melted butter would help keep it moist

Griddle it. 3 mins one side, minute and a half the other, brown outside, pink in the middle. Perfect

Oven will just spoil a nice piece of meat

All steaks, no matter what way you like em, take 10mins from fridge to plate....

Like it rare? Then in the pan for 2 mins, then on a plate covered with tin foil for 8mins....

Like it medium? Pan for 4/5mins, on a plate covered with tinfoil for 5/6mins

Like it well done? Pan for 7/8mins, plate/tinfoil for 2/3mins....

Pan needs to be FUCKING HOT with oil/butter/whatever you want to use (i prefer extra virgin oil) add crushed pepper/seasoning of your choice..

Me personally, heat the pan up like a motherfucker (get it smoking!) then sear one side for 1.5mins, flip and sear the other for 1.5mins, on a plate cover with tin foil, sit for 7mins, and when it comes out, it's juicey as fuck, just a little bit pink in the middle, and fucking FUCKING tasty

All this food talk has made me well hungry, thrush's post was the final straw........raided the cupboards/fridge and the best I could come up with was two rounds of toast and jam and a pint of stella Think a trip to the supermarket is called for in the next hour for a steak and peppercorn sauce

Doesn't anyone else do the ten minute rule then? Seriously, try it! However long you cook the steak for, wrap it in foil for enough mins to make up a total of 10! It sooooooo works! The foil keeps the heat in, so it doesn't get cold, but also keeps moisture in, so it stays very tender and succulent!

lol Update time...tried out the Thrush method (that is its granted name in this house now)...did it for 1:45min each side then wrapped for the remainder then served with a small salad and peppercorn sauce. Steak was cooked pefect for my liking. Only down side was I had to do the washing up due to the amount of smoke a near to melting point frying pan was making Excuse photo quality..it really wasnt black on the outside as these pictures are making out to be.





pmsl I just took photo's of my dinner...this topic is getting as bad and pointless as one of dojj's efforts

Either way....cheeRS Thrush

Success! Another convert! Glad you liked it!

I was a little apprehensive myself when I was told about it. Thought that 3mins total cooking would be raw as fuck, and that wrapping in foil for 7mins it would be soggy and cold

But I tried it one day (I might add, with a reduced last day effort from Tesco just in case ) and thought it was fucking ace

The only thing I don't know however, is how you need to adjust times depending on size. I only really ever cook what I perceive to be "normal" single portion steaks (fuck knows what that is in oz - 8oz? 10?) so I guess you need to increase pan time for bigger steaks?

Glad you liked it tho - looks yummy as fuck - wish I had that now I had toad in the hole

Thrush, when you say wrap it in tin foil for the rest of the 10mins, do you mean just on a plate? Not in a warm oven or anything?

Can't believe I'm getting cooking tips from passionford. And from Thrush!

I'd have to say yes on that one!

As owning one of these items I can certainly say if the steak in 1mm thick or 1" thick you can od it in one of these pans!

Use Olive Oil with a pinch of salt after getting the pan warm

Before hand make sure you put the 2 or more steaks into a bowel with plenty of Congac(sp) and black pepper

For a medium done steak, I'd say 3-4mins each side

During cooking, if it spits a bit, chuck a small pinch of salt in the pan

Should come out tasting pretty damn nice

I do also have a lovely recipe for home made chips aswell
