What is the authentic steak recipe?

Steak is one of the main ingredients of Western cuisine. There are many ways to cook it in life, but sometimes the taste is always very different from what is sold outside. In fact, there are some particular ways to cook authentic steak. For example, the meat tendons must be broken so that it can be cooked more easily. People who love steak must understand this.

1. Materials

Steak, salt, black pepper, oil, butter, red wine

2. How to make authentic steak

1. Use the back of a knife to cut the beef tendons. Just tap it casually. This step is not the key point. It is easier to cook if you tap it thinly.

2. Marinate: Sprinkle salt, black pepper and oil on the steak and marinate for an hour or more

3. After the marinating, the steak is shiny and can be put into the pot.

4. Heat the frying pan, put the steak in and fry one side, then turn it over. It is enough to turn it over once, no need to turn it over and over again. You have to control the time yourself. Cook on high heat for about 1 minute, or turn it over when the surface starts to be charred. (Some experts also say to flip it every 15 seconds, turning it back and forth until the inside is cooked. There are always different ways to do this, it depends on your preference.)

5. Turn off the heat and add the final seasoning while the pot is still warm: a small spoonful of red wine, or a small piece of butter, or a little bit of light soy sauce. You can play freely here.

6. Important: Let stand for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Tips

Key Tip 1: Do not add liquid seasonings during the marinating process. Do not add wine, soy sauce, etc., because liquids will lower the temperature and explode when they come into contact with oil, thus damaging the meat. This is equivalent to draining water before cooking, the less water the better.

Key Tip 2: Why do you pour oil on the steak? Because the oil seeps into the steak and gets heated together when frying, making it easier to cook. This is equivalent to the fact that Northeastern sweet and sour pork needs to be fried twice, the same principle. This is something that is very easy to overlook.

Key Tip 3: No need to add additional oil to the pan. If you add oil to the pan, the oil temperature and the steak temperature will not be consistent, which will make it easier to burn.

Key Tip 4: If you don’t like blood inside, you can microwave it while it’s hot for 30 seconds. Microwaves heat from the inside out, which makes up for this! In addition, steak must be eaten hot.

To sum up, the key to this method is to marinate the steak with oil, but not put oil in the pan. As long as you manage your time well, anyone can learn it easily.
