Slimpsy1647545505 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I'm out of gas in my grill and too lazy to go swap for another tank...so I'm turning to my fellow steak lovers here and asking what's the best way to cook a steak indoors with the oven/stovetop? I've never been too good with doing it on the stovetop, as you really can't beat that fresh grilled taste. . . .but I'm making steaks for dinner and it's my only option. Throw me some ideas. . . I know I could google it and look up a ton of recipes, but I figured I'd ask the question from a man, to a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 http://www.foodtv.com I remember Alton brown did one. Seared it in a pan with some oil. quickly, then threw it in the oven for X amount of time. Turned out perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Either george foreman for a more "well done" steak, or broil it in the oven. You should have a special setting for it on most ovens. Nothing like biting into a steak covered in blood that is steaming hot. Damn I want a steak now.

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 If it's a good steak, it deserves to be cooked outside. Quit being lazy, you didn't stay up that late last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit being lazy, you didn't stay up that late last night. Actually the boards were dead and so I watched a few movies on the california king =) But you're right. . . nothing beats the taste of a grilled steak. And I only get good steaks. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmeden Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Solid metal skillet, none of that pussy non-stick crap. Little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste on the raw steak. Get pan hot, have lid ready. Apply steak, put on lid, let 1 minute go by. There will be smoke, it should stay under the lid. Flip steak, replace lid, turn off burner, let 2 minutes go by. This is where the quality of the pan you are using comes into play. If it's a good pan, you should still hear sizzle after 2 minutes. If so, it's done, eat up! If not, you may have to apply some more heat, your pan pussied out. This should result in a 'rare' steak, cut of meat, pan, heat of stove can vary cook time. You can also deglaze the pan afterward, and make gravy if that's your thing. Edit for the naysayers: Sufficient skill and a good pan will result in a steak that is in every way as good as one from a grill. Open flame is a myth perpetuated by grill companies. Don't believe the hype! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 My indoor steaks always taste pretty good, just a little oil in a pan. Throw it on and "seal" it on both sides, then turn the temperature down a bit. Always turns out nice and juicy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Subjugator Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 turn your oven to 350, salt or season the steak with whatever you want to use. If you like your steak still mooing or medium rare, let the salt pull the juices to the surface for a minute, it will make for a more flavorful sear. dredge steak in oil, and brown quickly on ALL sides in a HOT pan. Finish in the oven if needed and then REST the steak for 5 minutes under foil. Serve with a little melted butter on top. PS. times are only good if your cooking the same size steak witht the same amount of heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost-n-Juice Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 It may get a little smokey in the house but the only way I know how to cook a steak is on a charcoal grill/smoker. It's against the Man Code to cook a steak any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Well...how did they turn out? Mine are going on the grille in a few minutes. Just eating some bacon wrapped scallops right now for a little appetizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most culinary schools teach that you taste with your eyes first. It must have been absolutely incredible tasting to overcome what I can only describe as looking like something I pooped. Where are the grill marks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
