You can find any amount of websites that can give you the various cuts of meats and how to cook them. I have several of them as well. Take a look at some of the various cuts of steaks and what you actually want to cook. Then buy a bunch of them, For example, buy a whole tenderloin. Cut it up into equal sized pieces(take off the silver skin however, it does not melt under heat and makes a steak tough) . Try a bunch of different things to each piece-marinating, grilling, deep-frying, skillet frying, etc. Use different coatings, flour, herbs, s&p, etc. Keep a record of what, how, where, etc. Use 3 or 4 pieces to cook-rare, medium, well, etc. Record your progress. Expensive? Yes, at first. In the long run-not hardly. Once you have a cut of steak down and a process down, you can tweak it till it's perfect. Some folks don't like my medium-rare T-Bone with only s&p, so be it. Can't tell you how many folks want onion/garlic powder on it-ruins the taste in my opinion. Everyone has their own idea of the perfect steak; the perfect cut, the perfect way to cook it. And everyone has screwed it up once of twice-even if they don't admit it. Experiment on you own. As far as I am concerned, if you want a T-Bone well done, eat London Broil. I love London Broil-when it's 2 for 1 and I need stew meat, but that's the only use I have for it. <And no, it's a cooking method-not a cut> A seven-bone(that's what they call it here) steak is a chuck steak. It is a rather tasty steak and it is cheap. But there is not a lot of meat on it. Maybe you want to start with something like that? |
