Do you use a Salt and pepper rub? Throw some A-1 on there?

I'm cooking indoors today (too cold) using an Cast Iron Skillet

A little salt and pepper rub should be all it needs....If it needs A1, it either wasn't good quality steak or it wasn't cooked right. :drool:

Do you have a broiler? If so, you can do a fair imitation of a BBQ grill. I would rather use a grill than a skillet on a steak, and the broiler is the next best thing indoors.

I brave the cold and cook it on the grill :cheers2:

I haven't cooked a steak indoors in forever, maybe tenderize it a bit with a fork, some salt, pepper, a touch of worcestershire sauce and some garlic, or just some garlic butter.

Salt and pepper only, maybe poked with a fork too.
On the gas grill, hot as it will get.
If under 1" thick, I cook 'em frozen so the center will come out right.
Over 1" I cook them thawed
I like 'em charred on the outside, light pink in the center.

I just figured that out a few years ago.
Rarely do I get a restaurant steak any better.

1. Marinate the steak for 4 days in Viva Zesty Italian Dressing.
2. On the 4th day , set out the steak until it reaches room temperature.
3. Get the grill HOT
4. Four minutes on each side and its done.

You will have a steak that is as tender as butter , but no blood , and an excellent flavor.
I have had steaks at many different steak houses , but never one that's as good as the ones I grill at home.

My favorite is Ribeye. The fat marbling melts into the meat while cooking and adds a great flavor.

I marinate my steaks. Wifey likes to get a commercial marinade from the store. I like to be "creative". My marinade is: red wine vinegar, lime juice, sugar, molasses, salt, black pepper, some tabasco sauce, minced onion, a little garlic, and a jigger of scotch. Marinate a minimum of 4 hours. Mmmmmmm..... :drool: It's usually rib eye, or just plain sirloin.

For sides I do sautéed mushrooms, and baked potato. And it's ALWAYS on the grill.

I forgot to mention...I Love STEAK !!

I can eat so much of it that I end up rolling around on the floor in agony. :mrgreen:
Also forgot to mention..A loaded baked potato makes the perfect side to the steak.

OK all this talk has me riled up. :totap:

I think its time for STEAK ! :drool:
