Raising The Steaks

Hey there non-cookers! I hope you’re ready for another hustle in the kitchen, for this week’s is a doozy. Cause this week the steaks are being raised even higher! *1st High Steak Joke

That’s right for tonight we make

  

Steaks!

 

Never have the steaks been this high.

2nd High Steak Joke 

I've always wanted to cook steak. Back when I was around 5 ft (for this memory I don't remember age but height) my family cooked steak for one occasion. I recall watching my dad and the other male figures gathering around the grill, a plate of finished meat rested nearby while the aroma of beef wafted through the air. They laughed and chilled, while ever so nonchalantly prodding and flipping the meat over on the grill. They made it look so easy. 

Ever since then, I've always had this picture in my mind that steak is the quintessential meat that showcases toughness and skill. That once you achieve this level you can be apart of the cool kids club of men that can talk about golf and other dad-related topics. 

And so now I will attempt to be a dad. Of steak. 

The recipe I followed was this one off of wikihow

Steak

Salt

Pepper

Herbs/Rub

Vegtable Oil

Butter

Frozen Green Beans

The Steak

Step 1: Salt the steak of your choice 40 minute prior to frying. This is so the moisture remains in the steak so it can be more tender.

Step 2: Oil the pan with a smidgen of vegetable oil. Turn the heat up high. Once the oil starts to smoke then go ahead and put the steak on.

Step 3: Let the steak cook from 3-6 minutes. You may want to check the bottom side of the steak occasionally during this period to make sure that it’s not getting burnt.

At this point it’s going to smoke like crazy and set off your fire alarm, which I assume happens to everyone who cooks this.

 

Also don't mind the huge splatter of meat juices next to the pan...

Step 4: Open windows and fan out the remaining smoke in your house/apartment/dwelling/adobe hut. I used a kitchen towel to get a better maneuver of the fanning motion. Hands also work effectively.

 

Post-Smoke Clean Out

Step 5: Once the steak is fully cooked, turn off the heat and let it rest on the pan. 

It had a busy day and needs to rest. While it simmers down on the pan use this time to put any herbs or rubs to your meat. I used Weber Steak ‘N Chop Seasoning on mine.

Step 6: Using a knife, cut a tiny portion of the end off to see how done your steak is.

This is a helpful guide for you to consider.

Green Beans

Step 7: Put water in a pot and turn the heat up high. Once the water starts to boil turn it off and put in the frozen green beans.

Step 8: Crank the heat up again and once the water starts to boil again ya done.

Potato Rolls

Step 9: Go to a supermarket. Go down the bread aisle. Find potato rolls. Grasp ahold of said potato rolls. Proceed to Cash Register. Purchase potato rolls. Eat at your expense.

There you have it! You have jumped over the circle of a non-steak-cooker and have entered the elite esteemed group of steak cookers! You are now a steak dad or mom! You can now laugh and talk about golf! Congrats! 

But after trying it myself I was very impressed. I cooked steak! And it was actually good!
