I can't cook a tender steak for sh#t!!!!

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

I only eat steak about 4-6 times a year. I've tried leaving it out at room temperature for 30 mins, cooking on the stove with flaming hot oil, flipping every 3 mins, and it is never tender!! I know I have to cut against the grain!!!!




I've been cooking strip steaks.

How the hell do I make a tender steak brehs? Is there an easier steak to cook?

Cause you probably over cooking it. Medium rare is the way to go

Some combination of:

1. Pound the steak with a spiked tenderizer
2. Tenderize with salt
3. Buy better cuts.

you are over cooking it most likely.
You'll simply have to keep lowering the cook time.

You can also try the sous vide method or reverse searing in oven method.
Ie cooking it to temp, letting it rest then quickly searing the outside before serving.

You can try the searing to oven method with a cast iron pan, like you would with a filet mignon

It also depends on the quality of the meat

THe easiest way to do it is to use a slow cooker, and put it on high for about 4 hours, or on low for 8 hours.

It'll literally fall apart.

Cheap steaks homie

You buying the ones in the $4 pile while looking past the good, expensive shyt like



So that's the main answer, but you're in luck

I'm a cheap mf too, so I got you

The steak is drying out during the cooking process

Wrap it in foil. You gotta create a system that holds liquid so it has to be like a foil bowl on the bottom but fold the top over it and try to like seal it completely (although it won't actually seal)

low temp. Slow as fukc

You're welcome

The only problem with this is it will will be well done, which is disrespectful to any good steak.
