Giveaway: Five copies of The New Steak: Recipes for a Range of Cuts plus Savory Sides by Cree LeFavour

Our favorite so far? Use soy, fish, and chili sauces for a well-balanced marinade. Yum!

I have a few methods I really like but this is great. I like using skirt or flank steak for this, but other cuts will work nicely. (Flatiron would do very well) I tend to guesstimate amounts.
I make a marinade from 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (light soy sauce works well too), 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 4 tablespoons of rice vinegar, and several crushed cloves of fresh garlic. (I take several to mean LOTS)
Again, I'm guesstimating here. I usually put the steaks in a large plastic container, add the marinade ingredient by ingredient, cover the container, and shake it so that all surfaces are covered. Then I'll let the steaks sit in the refrigerator for a while. Sometimes 30 minutes to an hour, though usually I'll do this the night before I'm going to grill them.
I like grilling the steaks on a Le Creuset grill pan on medium to high flame - this will give nicely seared grill marks but keep the center rare.

Favorite preparation for steak? Ummm, salt and pepper on a strip or ribeye. And honestly, I love pan-roasting as much as grilling. Cast Iron screaming hot for 4 minutes, flip and 400 degree it in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
Flank with a ginger/garlic/soy/worcestire is tasty on the grill too.
Then again, I also did this.

I would have to say that my favorite way to prepare steak is to marinate and grill. My favorite marinade always contain garlic and a bit of a kick (whatever spices strike my fancy at the time, no specific recipe). I always eat my steak medium rare.
I also love steak served with grilled onions or in a nice merlot sauce.

I love to take a good thick cut of steak, pat in some Santa Maria type seasoning from our butcher's market (a liberal amount, which is new for me because I never really used much salt in the past)
let that sit getting to room temperatures while you marinade sliced yellow onions in a mixture of basalmic vinegar and basil olive oil.
Wheil the steak is grilling, we use a grilling grate (http://www.amazon.com/Super-Heavy-Stainless-steel-Topper-Reviews/dp/B0007PHRZ4/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=garden&qid=1216919586&sr=1-17)
to cook the onions till golden.
We let everything rest on the same plate and serve it up with some fresh salad on the side, maybe some roasted potatoes.

I was raised a vegetarian, so I have come late to the meat party. But last month I finally joined the other side at the age of 32, when I made my first steak.
So my favorite way to prepare a steak is this: go to the best butcher you can find, preferably one recommended by carnivore foodie friends. Plead vegetarian-until-recently ignorance but intense interest, and the butcher will direct you to the best cut available and arm you with cooking tips. Go home, fire up gas burners, lovingly take beef cut (probably hanger) out and let it adjust to its new environment (while coming to room temperature). Salt and season. Heat up non-non-stick pan, add some oil, and sear on both sides. Finish in oven. Deglaze to make a pan sauce, and pour liberally over the now perfectly medium to medium-rare steak. Slice against the grain. Open bottle of wine, turn on John Coltrane, and you're ready to go...

When I grill steak, I keep it simple yet very tasty. I use seasoning salt, garlic powder, salt and pepper. I grill it until the heat burns the fat to a crisp so that the inside part that's not burnt melts in your mouth. I usually cook them medium rare and let them sit on the counter for 5 minutes, just enough time for the juices to settle back down from the surface. Very yummy!!

My favorite way to prepare Filet Mignon:
1) Heat a cast iron skillet with a small amount of olive oil until the oil shimmers.
2) Place steaks in skillet, cook on both sides until done to the preferred degree of rareness.
3) Remove steaks, plate them, and hold in a warm oven while you prepare the sauce.
4) Add a generous handful of chopped shallots and sliced mushrooms, and 2 T unsalted butter. Stir with a wooden spoon until cooked through (this will take only a short while).
5) Deglaze the skillet with about 1/4 cup of port, Madeira, or dry sherry.
6) Pour sauce over the steaks and serve.

My favorite way to grill a steak is to use any seasoning you like on the steak, but remove the grill plate and place steak directly on the briquettes. Not using the grill plate eliminates the splash from drippings that causes a flame to rise and create an uneven cooking. Cook as long or short a time as desired, flip once and you will get a perfect steak every time.

I don't have a grill :( so I usually prepare steaks as follows: I love to experiment with different marinades, last night I made one with cracked black pepper, lime and ginger. Marinade at room temp for at least one hour. Then heat up my panini machine and grill it with the top up. After a few minutes I turn it over and cook it to medium rare. I then take the pan juices and made a reduction sauce and pour them over the steak.
view Meridith's profile
We've been following these simple steps to grill excellent steaks for many years:
1. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
2. Lightly coat each steak with olive oil (which helps with searing and keeps them from sticking to the searing hot grill) then season the favorite way for each dinner guest, which for me is light salt, fresh ground pepper and maybe fresh chopped garlic.
3. Grill over a direct-medium fire (350°F to 375°F) on a covered grill, medium-rare for my steak. (For grilling times we use the cookout calculator at charcoalbob.com to grill them just the way each guest likes their steak.)
4. Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to settle.
5. Give thanks, and enjoy!

Marinade steaks in soy sauce, picked garlic and a bit of honey overnight -- i use a zip-top bag so i can remove all the air. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator a half hour or so before you want to start cooking so they can get to room temperature. Remove from bag and pat dry with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 425 or so.
Get a pan (not non-stick) blazing hot, add canola oil to coat the bottom of the pan; it should begin to shimmer and smoke almost immediately. Put the steaks in the pan, cover with a splatter screen, and leave 'em alone for two minutes. Flip them over and immediately toss the pan in the oven. About four minutes later (depending on the thickness of the steak), remove from the oven (remember tat handles are hot!) and pull the steaks to rest (cover them with foil).
Meanwhile, deglaze the pan with a bit of chicken stock and red wine; stir in a bit of butter. I like to put the steaks (and the attendant juices) back into the pan to warm.
Enjoy!

Trader Joes has these great lamb steaks.
I like the sear of a panfry, locks it all in better than the zzexxy grill... heat oil to hot in a hot pan with a branch of rosemary, sprinkle Maldon sea salt and ground black pepper on the side of the steak going face down in the pan, repeat on the side facing up so it's ready when you want to turn it (after a minute or two)... turn, after another minute or two, turn again, poke with finger, decide whether to give it more time, lower heat a bit and cover (since it's sealed and seared no fear of steaming it), when it's at the right poking-the-finger-feel (too mushy too rare, too rubbery too done, you'll learn what works for you), remove and let it sit for god's sake, make the salad then (and when it's steak the dressing gets a little mustard)
deglaze pan with a little wine or marsala, a sage leaf or two and big gob of butter, throw in the juices that have leaked out of the steak... those won't get sucked back in... and when it feels saucy, pour over (if you think you burned it, strain it, NO sweat)
if there are not the same amount of steaks as people, go ahead and slice them just thicker than thin and arrange on plate with pan sauce poured over and some fresh parsley sprinkled on, that way people get the well or medium or rare they want and they are not facing down a GREAT BIG PIECE OF MEAT
and grass fed beef is the only kind to bother with...

Salt, pepper, garlic rub, a little olive oil, and then onto the grill! I'd love to learn some other tasty recipes though!

I cook up steak the purist way - on a wood-fire or charcoal grill with butter and lemon juice!

I marinate it in balsamic vinegar overnight, then crust it in sea salt, rosemary and fresh garlic before cooking.

I pan fry my steak over high heat in my trusty cast \iron skillet. I get the seared flavor without the char.

Salt and pepper, throw it on the charcoal grill. When the blood wells up, flip it over. When it wells up again, it's done. Mmmm....like butter!

I marinate the steaks in a bit of olive oil, maybe with a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce, and a bit of some kind of rub (lately it's been Montreal). Hand 'em over to hubby to grill 'em rare and we fall in love all over again.
I am more than ready to broaden our horizons though!

I love putting some montreal steak seasoning on my steak and then grilling it to no more than medium. If it is done more than medium, then it is burnt (but I'd still eat it, too expensive to waste :P) Sometimes I'll use some A1 at the table, but usually not.

I like mariante it in herbs and then cook it in olive oil with onions and garlic. I am always also using either Lawry's or Montreal Steak Seasoning.

I like to grill my steakes with salt on pepper on the outside Bar-b-que grill. I use real charcoal. Maybe not so good for you but oh so yummy.

Marinate in spices and grill.

I start with a good rib eye or filet, grill to just before medium doneness, adding a bit of salt and pepper a minute or two before removing it from the grill. Add a bit of butter and let the meat rest. Saute fresh mushrooms in butter and add a bit of salt and pepper. Serve on top of the rested meat. Salt and pepper is all you need to bring out the flavor of a great piece of meat. Add a fully loaded baked potato and a veggie and you have my favorite meal! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

Marinate it in my secret sauce then toss it on the grill until its just right, not too dried up but not real bloody. Pour some A-1 on it and it's ready to eat!

I like round steak stuffed with stuffing, and covered in gravy. My mom said to correct the tough meat, cover it in more gravy!

My favorite way to prepare steak is to marinate and grill.

I love just a little salt and pepper rubbed in and then just grill over a few hickory chips and all natural charcoal.

If I had the guts, it'd be crusted with peppercorns, grilled medium rare and slightly cold in the middle. But I don't trust myself, so I only get that awesome treat at restaurants I trust!
