Do you grill it? I make a good steak but I can't get it anywhere close to a steakhouse. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 09:14 2
- Grill, then bake, then rest. I use the method in Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles cookbook - Roger More Apr 5, 09:26 1
  - The grill seems to be the important part -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 10:02
I don't even care for steak all that much, so 50+ bucks on it for me, is a waste. - groiny Apr 5, 09:07 6
- There are maybe eight foods in the world that I truly love, and steak is on top of that list. - David Apr 5, 09:12 5
  - What are the other seven? -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 09:37
  - Next time you are in town for a Braves game, you need to go to Little Alley. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 5, 09:35

  - I could probably convert easier to vegan than the reverse. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 09:15
It's not about whether you can do it as well, it's about the experience and the enjoyment of trying the meal -- nm - decline Apr 5, 09:02 9
- Sure, obviously I'll break the rule for something special. But most restaurats can't match the experience for those meals (for me) -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 09:22 3
  - I wouldn't order a steak at most restaurants either, just the restaurants where you go specifically for that purpose. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 09:31
  - maybe you're going to the wrong restaraunts -- nm - decline Apr 5, 09:24 1
    - No, it's because the experience of "another steak" isn't as valuable to me as the experience of trying something new or different or that I can't make - Roger More Apr 5, 09:30
- Exactly. -- (edited) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 09:05 4
  - This is the best recipe I've ever seen for making a steak at home. It's originally from David Chang's Momofuku cookbook -- (link) - decline Apr 5, 09:17 3
    - *bookmarks for later* -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 09:21 2
      - (I use a cast iron skillet when I cook mine) - decline Apr 5, 09:55 1
        
        That's what I use too. Usually do it under the broiler, but am really bad at judging how long to leave it in. - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 10:12
yeah, I've started avoiding pasta for this reason too -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 09:01
