Creating the best great steak

By Morgan Lee


A great steak is a lot of people's idea of food heaven. There are so many available with many different cuts that 10 people could want 10 different cuts and 10 different ways to cook their favorite meal. Although the perfect one is up to the individual there are a few pointers that can help all people to get the best they can.

Most will say that when going to buy your cut steer clear of pre-packaged ones and go straight to the butchers counter at a store or an independent retailer. The person who is having the meal should buy the best cut they can afford. Prime choice is the most expensive followed by choice and then select.

The meat is bought, then taken home and prepared to be eaten. It is best to eat it quite close to when it was purchased as you want it to be a tasty as possible. There are many ways of cooking and most people will have a favorite way. If just starting then the person could cook a few ways to find their favorite.

The most popular ways in which to cook the piece of meat would be through either frying, roasting or grilling. If the person doesn't have a favorite then anyone would be good to start with. When using an oven or frying then it is important that the oven and the range is heated up before any cooking takes place.

You need to know what is the way you take your meat as the way their cooked does have an affect on the way it tastes. Some will like it blue which means that the meat is just off raw. This is not for everyone and other ways of cooking could be rare, medium rare or well done. It is up to the individual.

Once the cooking method and how the person likes it is decided then it is time to start. Many chefs will advise you to not constantly turn the meat and only turning it once is the best way to go. Also do not cut the meat as this will release the juices and they will escape.

When the person's great steak is ready then it's just a matter of leaving it for a few minutes for all the flavor to settle. Then it can be served with anything the person requires. This could include vegetables or rice. Mixed with this a nice drink then there is no reason why the meal shouldn't be perfect.
