Everyone who loves the steak cooked in different ways, so this whole article, I will ensure that cover all kinds of different ways, so you always get the best results for you or anyone you cook.
There are several different cuts of beef will make a great steak, and there are many grades of beef to consider, depending on whether the cow had been fed on the farm, so your first step is to choose which you prefer. The choices include rump, scotch fillet, Porter House, eye fillet and T-bone, as the leading premium cuts generally eaten. Classification of beef will fall largely marbling and maturity of the meat. There is a debate which is better than wheat, fodder and grass, livestock, and in fact the answer is grass meat is healthier for you, because it is the most natural form of cattle, beef and wheat Fed will have much more marbling and flavor, so I leave the choice to you which way to go. As for the talent, I recommend finding a butcher that will hang the meat for long enough in his locker before carving the meat, I discovered that 27 days is perfect. This will help get the meat tender tense and relax the muscles to give you the best possible result.
Porter House cuts back and is stronger, and the rump in particular can be a bit 'harder than the rest and Chewie, and you will find a strip of fat on top of each of these steaks, which helps the flavor and the steak Mora during the cooking process. Both of these cuts, I would recommend eating rare medium rare (steak doneness a little talk 'more later).
Meanwhile, Scottish fillet will be very nicely marbled with fat throughout, and can be distinguished by a C-shaped fat around the side. Due to the marbling will be very painful and full of flavor (but if you're on a diet may be one to avoid for the moment), and advised me to eat it medium-rare and medium size.
The eye fillet is the most tender cut of beef, and usually be free of grease, although this also means you have to do something extra to add a little 'taste of it, the most common method is to wrap the bacon around it during cooking, so the taste of bacon in bold are absorbed by the steak. This is my personal favorite steak, and it is better to eat medium-rare and medium size.
Finally we get to T-bone, which has both the eye fillet and Porter House on both sides of the leg, and will have its flavor from the strip of fat on the outside of the House Porter. I recommend eating T-bone rare to medium rare, although it may be difficult to cook evenly because of the bones in the middle.
Once you've decided which cut of steak you eat, you must understand how big a piece of meat you want. A normal-sized steak is generally around 300g for a hearty meal, but can be anywhere from 150 up to 1 kg and more! The size of your steak will become important later when you want to cook a particular doneness. For example, two rump steaks, simply weigh much, but it is still quite different, but sometimes it can be wide and flat, and, sometimes, short and squat, depending on what portion of steak was cut from soccer. Select the size of your steak and form go hand in hand, it is better to have a thicker steak for a rare steak medium rare, and when you love someone in the medium or thin upper is better. This is the way it does not take much for you to cook, and you can still get a steak without burning the outside.
Let's just get the fry for a minute and think about what you really want to cook on. Ideally you should have a chargrill, one who is in a corner, and has enough space for the flame to have a disc you can insert a small piece of wood about. What I personally prefer the Mesquite wood comes from the United States, and the best thing to do is to soak in water for several hours before cooking. This will help the wood to make the taste of smoke, rather than burns, and will also last longer, usually for at least a couple of hours.
I said before, if possible, the grid should be constructed at an angle, sloping toward the rear. As you know, the temperature rises, so naturally you should find the hottest part of your grill on the back, and get a little 'cooler near the front. Most grills and hotplates in general will have some "hot spots" that you need to find for everybody to understand a record of places to put the food during cooking. After using a special grid for a couple of times you will find it fairly easy to see your favorite spot to cook on. The combination of knowing where your "hotspots" are at an angle and grill will be easier to find the best conditions to prepare the steak. If you do not have a chargrill to use and you have an apartment or a plan for grilling, however, I would recommend thoroughly cooking the steak on the hotplate, particularly for middle or upper bound on both sides and place the steak on a tray and finish it removed in an oven. Otherwise, all you have to do is burn the outside and lose all the moisture and juiciness from your meat.
The second aspect to consider is how you want your steak cooked. In general, a steak well done, is on the back, a medium roast in the center of the grid, and a rare steak in front. Of course, this leaves medium-rare between the front and medium to medium-well between the middle and rear. In some situations, you must change slightly depending on the size and shape of your steak, a big, thick rump may need to be pushed a bit 'higher up the grill to cook properly, while a thin and flat Porter House can best be preserved a little 'closer to the front to avoid overcooking. Positioning steak fall largely to personal preference and a bit 'of practice and experience of your grill.
Now, when you should have worked on was the grill you place the steak, you are almost ready to start cooking! What you need to think about now is how will season the steak. You can not want Spice, is good, go ahead and start cooking. If you want to use salt and pepper, I would wait for one side of your steak has been sealed before sprinkling on something, because salt has a tendency to leech some of the moisture from your meat. My best method of seasoning is to get a good seasoning steak spice and generously cover both sides before putting the steak on the grill. When you put the steak on the grill, if you have a stump or a Porterhouse, make sure you insert the strip of fat on top, so that it cooks the fat will melt and drip through the steak, adding flavor more for meat.
The process of actually cooking the steak is very simple, but there are some important things you need to know to get the best results. First, the advantage of using chargrill you can enjoy more than the directions on your steak when it is finished, that looks great for presentation. To achieve this, the steak should be turned three times, the first time directly on itself, then another backhand swing of 90 degrees so that the grid lines will go over each other and make small brown squares across steak, and then the third and final round will be directly on itself once again. When you are done steak should have markings on both sides, and you can choose which side looks best to serve up.
What you will find if you have the grid positioned to desired doneness, 3-4 minutes between each round should have the steak reveal exactly how you want! (If you cook the steak bleu, just boil in 3 minutes on each side in total, just enough to seal each side basically).
This is only a guide for the work alone, as each grill gives slightly different results, but certainly the most important stage of cooking the steak is knowing when exactly the doneness you want. This can sometimes be difficult, but there are a couple of ways to test the steak without cutting it. The best method to use when you're starting to learn would be what I call the "test of the thumb. Your left hand open and relaxed, and press the flesh of your left thumb with the right index finger. You should feel quite soft, and this is how a rare steak should feel when you press with your fingers.
Now easily touch the left thumb on the left index finger and press the flesh of the thumb with the right index finger. Here is how a medium-rare steak should feel when it is finished. Next, press the left thumb slightly to the left middle finger, and pressing the flesh of your left thumb will feel like a medium steak when it is finished. Move the left thumb of his left hand ring makes the flesh of your left thumb feel like a much steak, and touching the left thumb on his left hand just the flesh of the thumb feel like a steak well done. Try this as a guide to begin, and, like all things, practice and experience will help you sharpen your skills and instincts to know exactly when your steak is cooked to perfection! And equally important, that you get feedback from every person you cook a steak on your progress will go much faster. As they say, is the breakfast "feedback of Champions!"
Another method of use, which may be a little 'sneaky, is if you can see in the middle of the steak on the edges to see what color my appearance. This works very well for a Scottish fillet, you can gently pull away a part of the meat right there C-shape of the fat without damaging your steak and see if the inside is red, pink or gray.
Now I will explain each doneness, so you can understand how you would solve the problem so you know what to look when finished.
I will start with the bleu, which is basically just sealed, is still very red in the center, rather soft to the touch, and feel a bit 'cool inside, only slightly heated.
Rare is red in half from edge to edge, a little 'soft, and I feel warm inside. Medium-rare is red in the center and pink along the edges, and you feel warm inside. Medium is pink in the middle from edge to edge, feels tender to the touch, hot and warm inside. In the medium and still a quarter to half that is pink, and turns gray on the edges, feels quite solid and warm inside. If you plan to cook your steak medium-well or higher, I would suggest that it could speed up the cooking time by using a steak weight to place on top of your steak. It should be shiny silver and kept clean, and what happens is the heat that rises from the flames below, will be reflected down on top of the steak so that the cook on both sides. Check if you use a steak weight, you just put on your steak after sealing one side so there is no possibility of cross contamination. Well done steak is all gray, not pink at all, pretty solid, but can still be juicy, and very hot. Very well done steak, it's all gray with no pink at all, it was very, very hot and not juice at all. You can also get your steak cooked Pittsburgh, which basically means charring the outside so that is burned, while the inside does not need to be cooked. For example, if you want your steak Pittsburgh-Rare, you can char the outside and the inside is red in the center from edge to edge. To do this you need a little 'oil or butter, I personally use lemon butter only for their flavor, and the rain a bit' over the steak until it drops on the fire below. Your goal is to build the flames that lick the steak and cook the outside much faster than inside.
WARNING! Being well aware of how much butter you use, make sure you have equipment for fire safety, and if you need to have adult supervision. Do not do this unless you feel comfortable working with large flames, it can be very dangerous if something catches near the fire, you should be very careful, and how you want your steak cooked.
Everyone has different preferences for their meat, but I invite you to try all the different ways in order to understand themselves what is best for you. Many people fear the sight of blood coming from his steak, if you can find the courage to try something new for you, who knows, you might find that you really want! I personally eat my steaks medium-rare, and I remember that once you start taking your steak medium-well and truly before losing many of the nutritional benefits of eating meat, so I recommend that you cook your steak any more than half, but it is obviously a choice that is entirely up to you.
Now all that remains is to serve your steak cooked to perfection, there are many choices of sides and sauces, too many to list here. I always love it with a creamy mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables steamed, and my favorite is the mushroom sauce. If you have time the best sauce is made with beef bones, cooked with a little 'of tomato paste, then a stock by boiling the bones in water with a little' celery, carrots, onions, leeks, bay leaves and pepper . Boil for several hours until it reduces about three-quarters, and then remove the bones and vegetables. Add a little 'red wine and port, and reduce it to about half of which is now, until it begins to thicken with a fine texture. From here you can add a little 'mushroom slices, peppercorns, or if you prefer, and even add a little' cream if you want too. This takes a long time to make the jus (rich beef gravy), but if you can do will find it very rewarding. Another piece of advice I have for you is to brush a small amount of lemon butter on the steak before saucing, you will keep your steak very juicy and tender.
I hope you enjoy cooking and eating many steaks in the future, and be sure to go out and impress your friends with your newfound cooking skills!
