troutman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 This is my favorite sauce... not really healthy... but for as often as I have steak... I can do this once in a while. It's really good with pepper-crusted tenderloin seared in an iron skillet (finished in the oven to med-rare) 1 TB unsalted butter2 shallots, finely diced1 tsp drained green peppercorns2 C beef stock1/2 C Cognac1/4 heavy cream Melt butter, add shallots, cook until edges of the shallots start to brown. add peppercorns and mash about half with a fork or wooden spatula. Add stock, cognac and cream. Simmer until reduced by half, stirring frequently (about 15 minutes) Sounds good, But mine would have to be cooked longer. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I grill steaks I just dry rub them in these: http://i5.walmartimages.com/dfw/dce07b8c-b33f/k2-_cf420477-dd16-48e7-8887-e22ea8cbc108.v1.jpghttp://i5.walmartimages.com/dfw/dce07b8c-84dd/k2-_66de6658-d5ff-4644-bbc1-3a79bfef35f9.v1.jpghttp://www.foodservicedirect.com/productimages/OT489364S.jpg Then while on the grill they get lots of teriyaki sauce. Serve with fresh green beans with minced garlic, diced bacon, and crushed black pepper :drool: I love using a dry rub, Great for ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I love using a dry rub, Great for ribs. We put the same stuff on our ribs before they get sauced :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Medium rare.My wife likes hers well done. Must run in the family or the area as most people here in the south like well done it seems. No offense south. Just a perception I have.It makes it difficult on me as I do all the cooking and grilling.To have to make a well done steak is very hard, as I feel like I am wasting good money. Throwing good money down the drain.Then I had my MIL here for 6 months and she too likes it ruined. (well done) I got a little irritated once and told both of them i was going to keep the rib eyes for me and make them pot roast instead.

I never understood that type of thinking, My mom would always lecture me on how my steak should be cooked. My response was, who is the one eating it? I love it done and with Heinz 57. At the same time she would smother hers in ketchup. :sarcastic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Man Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Medium rare for sure. Years ago at a wedding rehearsal dinner prime rib was served, a friend of mine asked for his to be well done. You just can't do that with prime rib, order something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I can make an exception for a good prime rib, though I wouldn't go well done, medium well at the most. Then you get those excellent burnt ends with dry rub :drool: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Is a brikey considered a steak? Pretty sure no... I cook mine for 8 hours on the smoker... usually pretty well done, but super juicy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Star Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Mooing.. though i don't eat it that often.. maybe four times a year tops mainly due to the fact i can't get hold of the "good" ( dark/buttery - looking seasoned ) meat. I look upon it as a novelty food anyway ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
