    Three questions:

    1. Where do you buy your beef? (ie. Store or grocery name)
    2. What kind or kinds of beef do you usually get? (ie. US/Australian/Local, Prime/Choice, ribeye, T-bone, porterhouse, etc.)
    3. How do you prepare and cook them?

    Decades ago, my dad used to cook grocery-bought T-bone steaks. He just adds a pinch of salt and cooked in a pan on high heat. Nothing fancy.

    Curious on how you guys do your steaks.

    I buy the streak, take it from the wrapping, and throw it on the (charcoal) grill. I sprinkle onion or garlic powder on each side. That's it. No marinate or baste. Just let it cook in its own juices.

    I buy the cheap boneless ones with a bit of fat. I think the fat gives flavor. Plus, they're thinner and cook faster. They're also just the right size to put on a plate of steamed rice.

    I don't cook steak anywhere else.

    im eyeing this rarefoodshop on ig when i come back. locally meron boneless ribeyes and wagyus.

    the meat has to be room temp. and patted dry to avoid steaming. if its chilled the pan will get cold.

    youll need a black peppercorn mill. freshly grind is the best.

    high quality sea salt too. its not that expensive.

    cyma did their lambchops good. it was very gamey though. Mamou is not good with lambchops.

    i think the topic is more beef steaks though

    cook medium. not medium rare.

    the cheapest masarap lamb chops si mister kabab. Pero hindi lahat ng branch. Ang pulido yung sa mezza condomonium.

    ah pag steak ba specific lang sa beef. Akala ko general. Lahat na lang kasi para masaya.

    Timpla ko lagi marinate sa rock salt 24hours sa freezer. Depende kung ano herbs ihahalo ko. Less is more para hindi ma-mask yung lasa.


    A steak (/ˈsteɪk/) is a meat generally sliced across the muscle fibers, potentially including a bone. Exceptions, in which the meat is sliced parallel to the fibers, include the skirt steak cut from the plate, the flank steak cut from the abdominal muscles, and the silverfinger steak cut from the loin and includes three rib bones. In a larger sense, fish steaks, ground meat steaks, pork steak, and many more varieties of steak are known.

    Steak is usually grilled,[1] but can be pan-fried. It is often grilled in an attempt to replicate the flavor of steak cooked over the glowing coals of an open fire.[1] Steak can also be cooked in sauce, such as in steak and kidney pie, or minced and formed into patties, such as hamburgers.

    Steaks are often cut from grazing animals, usually farmed, other than cattle, including bison, camel, goat, horse, kangaroo,[2][3] sheep, ostrich, pigs, reindeer, turkey, deer, and zebu, as well as various types of fish, especially salmon and large pelagic fish such as swordfish, shark, and marlin. For some meats, such as pork, lamb and mutton, chevon, and veal, these cuts are often referred to as chops. Some cured meat, such as gammon, is commonly served as steak.

    Grilled portobello mushroom may be called mushroom steak, and similarly for other vegetarian dishes.[4] Imitation steak is a food product that is formed into a steak shape from various pieces of meat. Grilled fruits such as watermelon have been used as vegetarian steak alternatives.

    ...a grille that allows for dripping and actual burning..?
    maybe burning the meat a bit will add to the taste.

    also, many steak places have secret ingredients that are not known to the outside world.
    perhaps we haven't yet discovered these secret ingredients, hence the difference in taste.

    kanya kanya panlasa yan. sa kanila normal ang pagka "gamey sa atin" with cinnamon as main spices.
    pero kaya ka nga nag lamb para sa distict taste nya like cara meat. kung beef hanap mong lasa wag ka mag lamb tulad ng ibang pasosyal tapos dami reklamo (maanggo etc.)

    btt:

    salt and lots of freshly cracked black pepper for me. lasa really depends on the cuts and cooking style. kung fancy flavored -sayang ang beef/lamb- mag pork ka na lang

    practice makes perfect to your preferred prep

    sa local, Garcia's okay na kami. sa imported kapag nag-uuwi kapatids ko from Costco - Rib eye.

    the best talaga sa grill. if not then grill pans are the best for quick steaks. heavy bottom grill pans.

    majority of steak houses use oven&broiler

    sous vide sana... but that takes too effort lol

    I think their photo isnt for the filipino lol. that middle part looks like its still beating.

    I think the thread is going towards home cooked steaks. find and buy 30-100$ of meat and cook in different ways.
