If I prepared a steak for you, with a good sear outside, you will notice that the inside is more tender.

Technically, there maybe less water volume, but the searing creates a different cooking environment on the inside.

I can give you an easy way to see the difference using a microwave oven.

Take something that has been in the fridge that you want to warm up. Divide that something into 2 halves. Use the same plate for both. But on one, cover it with wrap. Nuke em both. See which is more tender and juicy.

I really enjoy good Yukhoe when everything is very fresh. :)

OMG- that looks awesome! Thanks! And I just ordered Indian food. :)
 
this is making me want to cook some steak.

I never had pan seared a steak before so could some one tell me how to do it. I lack a grill and all I really have a gorge foreman grill.

The pan searing interest me as a new way to cook steak.

I like my steak Medium Rare.

Read through this post and you'll see examples of how to pan sear/cook. Basically get your pan smoking hot. You could use cast iron to great effect. Use a small amount of oil and one that has a high smoking point, canola is what I use. Once you see the oil start to smoke, drop your seasoned steak in. I typically do 1 minute and then flip, wait 1 minute and then throw the whole oven safe pan into a 400 degree oven to finish the cooking which depends on the thickness of the steak.

That is typically how I cook my steak, except I use butter instead of the oil. Usually heat the cast iron pan as hot as possible, do about a minute on each side, throw in the broiler at 600 degrees for about 5-6 minutes, then take the thing out, but some butter on top, let sit for 5 minutes, then eat. Usually just rub the steak with some oil and a little pepper before cooking. Good stuff, I'm getting hungry now. Only problem is all the crackling steak and butter dirties up my broiler.
 
Back when I ate steaks, Ribeye's, only cooked them on a grill. Charcoal is the best, with either Worcestershire sauce on it while cooking, or marinated in Italian dressing.

Beef doesn't like me anymore :(

What's its beef? ;)

I love a bit of steak; cover it in oil, season with salt and pepper (after it's been coated in oil so the salt doesn't dry out the meat, drop in a really hot frying pan for a couple of minutes each side, then let it rest for a few minutes more.

I feel really hungry having read this thread :eek:
 
Just wipe it's arse and bring it to the table.

Still haven't tried Kobe, but then one of my business partner's is Argentinian so I eat a fair bit of that.
 
medium or medium rare depending on cut of beef.

usually make my own but anyone like ruth's chris? they cook their stuff ridiculously hot temperature wise. wish i could do that haha
