hi, i bought rib eye steak at tinderbox, tried grilling it but it doesn't seem to cook right, tried the frying pan in butter it turns out over cooked! hehehehe.. i wanted my steak medium rare - How many minutes should i cook steaks? and what herbs should i put? to make it restaurant like? thanks..

Richrazel,

I like cooking it on pan

Prior to cooking properly thaw if frzen, if not then just wipe it with cloth dry, normally I do a few minutes on each side but when u see blood sa top flip it. Do the same for other side and take out of pan. You can mix olive oil and a bit of butter and pan has to be really hot prior to placing cut. I use the old Cast Iron pans. Hope this helps

If you cook it on pan, youre not searing it anymore...?

[KE-25]

Well Tin, thats an interesting question

First we have to share with people what searing is, Searing (or pan searing) is a technique used in grilling, roasting, braising, sautéing, etc. that cooks the surface of the food (usually meat, poultry or fish) at high temperature so that a caramelized crust forms. A similar technique, browning, is typically used to sear or brown all sides of a particular piece of meat, fish, poultry, etc.

The belief that searing meat "seals in the juices" is widespread and still often repeated. But test shows leaving it in high heat takes the moisture out of meat, which we wont leave long enough and whatever juices come out stays in pan for our sauce later.

So in our case yes id like to think cooking our steak in pan is searing it , normally when cooking bigger slices of meat you sear and place in oven so you get nice brown crusty outside and cooked inside, but since we are cooking 2 inch slices or maybe a 2 and a half , searing it does the job crusty on the outside and depending on how long you keep it on heat gives you desired results on the inside.

Hope this helps

so just basically how do you cook a steak using the pan.

from what i've read you first have to sear it then pop it in the oven.

[KE-25]

Its simple, Heat pan with desired oil ( i like olive oil and butter mixed ), wipe meat dry with cloth, place steak on pan what I normally look out for is moisture coming out of meat then flip, id say maybe 2 to 3 minutes each side. This way per last post since your looking at 2 to 3 inches of beef I dont place it in oven its not like a beef roast thats very thick, normally when I cook in pan it cooks it to my liking- I get a meduim well feel to it.

But hey if u like cooking it quick then popping in oven tht works too but id go w just frying on pan

I use a heavy skillet but not like the cast iron ones that are in KE's kitchen. Sear beef...flip...ayos...yummy steak

@ke --- u still up?
