A Flawless Steak

In my perspective ,  a steak is the most refined piece of meat that is grilled under a certain heat  until it is medium rare with a lip smacking sauce to dip in.  Out of all the dishes in the world, I have a very special place for steaks. 

 

A flawless steak brings out the pinkish joy in us and I strongly believe  that a steak can be more than just salt 'n' pepper.  ingredients like garlic, thyme, rosemary and of course, butter  can just elevate the dish.

An amazing marinade is extremely essential for exceling a steak. According to me, there are some important 

key points  in creating an excellent marinade.

•  a herb such as parsley/thyme/rosemary  
• salt - an extremely essential component
• an acidic component such as lime or lemon
• heat (chilly flakes/pepper)
• additions like garlic, onion, shallots, etc.
• always try to be creative

And  out of all the steaks in the world ranging from fish to goat, the one meat that had pleased my tongue is beef. The flavor that comes out of the pinkish beef is just extraordinary!

I always like my steak to be served with fries, mushrooms, greens and a lovely sauce. I  always prefer a 'dripping sauce' as it has all the flavors of the meat  tightly packed  that sings beef.  Usually a dripping sauce contains alcohol but as I do not prefer it , I substitute it with a  beef stock.

  I love visiting steakhouses, they focus only on steaks and so whatever they serve  are always mouth watering. Each time I visit one, it always sends a message to come again. A steak  has different  degrees of cooking , to cook a flawless steak you should understand each and every degree of cooking.

• raw. uncooked meat
• rare. extremely red in the middle with  a brown exterior.
• medium rare. the most common and the standard degree of cooking. it  has a reddish pink interior.
• medium well. light pink in the middle.
• well done. meat is completely cooked . it has brown interior.
• overcooked. meat is blackened and is not appetizing.

There are many varieties of beef steaks some of the most common are given below:

• club steak
• filet mignon
• rib eye steak
• rump steak
• tomahawk steak
• porter house
• sirloin steak

Some of my most favorite steaks are the sirloin and the tomahawk steak.

Of all the steaks I have listed the tomahawk steak is the  most appetizing steak that I have ever seen.

For all of you who are about to try to prepare a 'flawless steak',

try to feel the different textures of each degree of cook.

A steak  is all about the marinade and the timing.

If you excel in both of these things then I assure you a 'flawless steak '.
