Bee bought a great cut of steak, so with her help I cooked my first steak. It was surprisingly easy! I just cooked it in butter in a skillet, and added salt & pepper to both sides. Yum!!
I couldn't believe how delicious it was... maybe not so healthy though ha. Trying to stick to mostly fish and chicken for our protein... still though, it's hard to beat a great steak!
How do you cook a steak?

Just in a skillet with some salt and pepper also. If I remember ahead of time I marinate it in Mr Yoshida sauce too.

Broil or grill it. Crunchy on the outside, still cool and rare in the middle.

@PurplePumps: Tell me more about Mr. Yoshida sauce, please!

@mrbee: It is absolute deliciousness! I've only ever seen it at Costco, a sweet soy sauce based sauce, great on chicken too.

I season my steaks with garlic salt and pepper and have DH throw them on the BBQ! The George Foreman grill also works pretty well.

@PurplePumps: Haha we love Mr.Yoshida too!!
Wagon Sr. grills an amazing steak. Just salt and pepper and sometimes a pat of butter. He also grills asparagus and pours the steak juices over them.... Mmmm

Always grill on the BBQ. DH puts seasoning salt and Montreal Steak spice on them and cooks them to medium-rare. We only buy rib eyes, though I'm also a fan of bacon wrapped filet mignons.

@HellOnHeels: What is Montreal Steak spice?
Man I feel like I don't know anything about steaks now!

I marinate them in oil, vinegar, salt, & pepper and then grill them for 6 minutes per side.

@Leialou: Mmm... that sounds delicious! How does the marinade work exactly? I'd love to try that out next time!

@mrbee: the only tip I could drag out of my husband is not to flip it too soon! We have a gas grill so we never do them in a skillet but that sounds so delicious I would love to try it that way!
Hey, it was healthier than a cookie, right? Lol!

@HellOnHeels: I am also a ribeye fan. I don't really love filets! I like a fattier cut.

@Mrs. Sketchbook: Haha yes!! "Healthier than a cookie"... that's my new motto.

We marinate in Dales, with some garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Then grill them on a charcoal grill.

@mrsjazz: That's what I used to do! But since having kids, we don't eat out nearly as much and so I'm beginning to think Imma gonna have to learn how to cook a steak myself!

@mrbee: It's a mix of spices, specifically for steak (though we use it for a variety of things). Pretty sure a few different companies make versions of it.
@Mrs. Sketchbook: Very rarely do I have them and it HAS to be with a good cut of bacon.

@mrbee: I'm a great cook but I've never even tried to cook a steak! You've got me beat. Before LO's iron issue we didn't eat red meat at home but I may try it because I can't let you beat me at cooking steak! 
admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@HellOnHeels: Will have to check that out!!
@Mrs. High Heels: Oh my, sounds delicious... will Google next time we have steak in the fridge!!!

Montreal steak spices here too! DH always does them on BBQ to medium rare with a couple baked potatoes. I like eating mine with grilled onions, mushrooms and BBQ sauce on the side. Now I'm hungry!
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
@mrbee: sorry, I couldn't find the recipe! It has more ingredients than I remembered.
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c red wine vinegar
3 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T salt
1 t pepper
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried thyme

another Montreal steak seasoning fan! It's the best one I've tried...love that if has strong garlic, pepper and salt in it. We grill our steaks but I have a cast iron skillet on my wish list so I'll have to try cooking our steaks the Alton Brown way soon!

We usually eat steak about once every couple of months, and I make it at home (even before we had kids!). I set it out about an hour before cooking, season with garlic salt, Montreal steak seasoning, and "Magic Dust" seasoning I got from the Hitching Post II.
Heat up the skillet (usually a big stainless steel one) for a few mins until it's really hot. Add the steak, set the timer for 3 mins, then flip. Cook for another 3 mins. If it's an extra thick cut, I'll put it in the oven for 2-3 mins at 350. Comes out perfect every time!

Almost always over charcoal. Just a little s, P and garlic salt. A great steak needs nothing else! A close second is in a cast iron skillet. Yum.

We do something similar to the Alton Brown method. Always in cast iron. Although, be careful as our smoke alarm always goes off the windows/door isn't open!

We grill our steaks. We raise beef cows so we eat steak and other cuts of red meat 2 or 3 times a week.

@sandy: the Lodge brand is great and very inexpensive. We bought ours at Walmart for < $20.
We do steaks in our cast iron grill pan. We do the Alton Brown method though I learned it from a friend!

We grill it, but if it's too cold or wet out, I'll cook it in a skillet on the stove.
