Steak. Steak has got to be my favorite food in the world. If there was nothing to eat but steak for the rest of my life, trust me. I would not get tired of it. I love steak and hashbrowns, steak and baked potatoes, steak and cooked greenbeans, steak and chili, steak and eggs, steak and stew, steak and crepes, swiss steak, just about any steak out there. And I like it rare. X3 The best steak you can ever get is at the Seattle Space Needle Cafe. I'm serious. o.o It comes perfectly cooked to how you wanted, with potatoes and roasted elephant garlic. It is soooo good.
There's nothing too fancy about cooking steaks, but here's how I do it. And it's delicious. o.o
Ingredients:
-Half an onion, chopped into small pieces. (Dehydrated onion will do too, just soak it in water before hand)
-Two to three cloves of garlic (You know, those individual pieces you can pull off heads of garlic?), also chopped into small pieces. (Again, dehydrated garlic will do. No need to soak though.)
-Virgin or Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or your preferred cooking oil, I suppose)
-Salt (Sea salt is best imo) and Pepper
-Any other spices you like on your steak (I go for Montreal Steak Seasoning)
-And, of course, your steak. (Mmm. T-bones.)
Tools:
-A non-stick fry pan
-A fork to flip your steak with
-A sharp knife (Be careful!) so you can check the doneness of your steak
-A plate
Cooking Time!
Put the pan on your stove, and set the burner to low (2-3) heat. Put enough oil in so that your onions will all be sitting in oil (not covered), and then put in your onions. Wait until those brown, keeping the heat low so they carmalize and not burn.
Once those are brown, throw in the garlic. Take your knife and cut three stripes into your steak on both sides, season one and lay it down into the pan, seasoned side down. Season the top.
Turn the heat to about medium or six and let it sit and cook. After a minute/minute in a half, flip the steak. Continue flipping it at minute intervals. Once all sides of the steak, including the rim, are completely brown, use the knife and cut into the steak to check the doneness of it. If it's to your liking, take it out. If not, continue cooking, checking every minute with a new cut until you like it.
Turn off the stove, clean up, get some steak sauce or worcestershire, sit down and enjoy!
