LOL Bryan deems himself an expert in oils and butter. I'm not going to
ask how he uses them. Where's his photo of a steak pan fried in
clarified butter? Or any other pan fried steak for that matter?

You really should not try to correct the grammar of another with a
sentence that is rife with grammatical errors.

My eyes are fine and my monitor is showing colours accurately. I found a
link with descriptions and images for the degrees of doneness for steak
and the picture you posted is much closer to medium well than medium
rare. It may have been cooked perfectly for you if what you really like
is medium well.

I thought it had much to do with you having pronounced it to be a
perfectly cooked medium rare when it was actually more like medium well.


> That steak was cooked perfectly and was delicious...


Sure. It was a perfectly cooked medium well, just the way you apparently
like them.

> I wasn't about to hack it up to expose all the interior for a picture, t


But you did.

Shame on you! ;-) The only people that are making an issue of it are those
that decided to comment on the picture using their own narrow perspective
and with the need to "correct Sheldon for his mistake" instead of just
saying the steak looks good, which it did.

Perhaps he was. A sad reality is that just about every grammar police
post I have seen online has contained grammatical errors that were just
as bad as the one about which they were complaining.

Sorry, I take issue with that claim. Yes, butter burns easily but
adding a little oil to increase the smoke point helps. I've yet to
find a better way too cook a steak in a pan.

One day I'm going to have to cook a steak in butter (and a dash of
oil) and take a pic to post here.

I sear mine before it gets /that/ hot and can consistently produce a
nicely browned steak <shrug>. I'll post a pic one of these days to
prove my point.

Yes, I agree up to a point now that you raise the issue of thickness.
I personally don't like overly thick steaks - say nothing over 3/4"
thick, which would explain why I don't have problems cooking in
butter. Plus I like medium-rare so the time in the pan is relatively
short.

If you are going to cut into it and show a picture and claim that it is
perfectly cooked to a particular degree of doneness, please check with
an online source and make sure that yours matches the professional
standard. ;-)

:-) I'll bet you typed the the last part of that sentence very
carefully, to avoid ending it with a preposition:-)

Just cut and paste the online source, and watch everybody tell you that
you are STILL wrong.

A really hot well seasoned cast iron pan. Nothing needed, but a
sprinkle of salt is often used.

I happen to still have all my own teeth except for two wisdoms.
I also have a full head of thick luxurious hair, that my stylist says
even young women would kill for.

Today I went into town for my teeth cleaning and afterwards bought a
couple of top round roasts on sale, froze one and turned a four
pounder into luscious pot roast:

My sentence contains no grammatical errors... 'should of' is
gramatically incorrect... actually a glaring indication that the
poster never made it past the 5th grade.

Looks good. At least there will be no arguing about doneness of the roast.

Um, were you educated you'd have written 'should have'.

Did you ever think you need a new monitor and video card? DUH
It's not possible to discern color accurately on the net, especially
from so small a sample as a tiny snip in meat, plus meat has different
densities so different sections will cook more or less. Perhaps you
also need to have your eyes examined along with your head. Were you
able to see that steak in person you'd definitely know it was cooked
medium rare.
The only reason some find something to bitch about the doneness of a
steak is because they live on cheapo tube steak and are envious. That
steak was cooked perfectly and was delicious... I wasn't about to hack
it up to expose all the interior for a picture, typically I'd not cut
into it for a photo but this time my cat couldn't wait.
I'll be heading into town soon for my teeth cleaning appt and
afterwards will stop into the market, they have top round and eye
round roasts on sale at $3.49/lb, they also have Hillshire kielbasa
B2G3. I actually prefer beef round and kielbasa to porterhouse...
only problem with that steak was there was about 35% waste, a bone and
a lot of fat. The bone got tossed into a hedgerow, was gone the next
morning, some critter injoyed it, the fat got tossed out for the
crows, that was gone in less than five minutes. Since the steak was
cooked in butter the remaining pan drippings were added to the chopped
spinach, excellent flavoring.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets see the steak looked perfect in person. So the picture had poor color
representations. I can accept that as a reason. Until you blamed the color
problem on my monitor and video card. So that picture shows exactly what the
steak looked like in person. Otherwise you would have corrected it before
posting it. Oh and that crack about me living only on cheap meat. Then you
brag about Hillshire Kielbasa. IF you check it has more water then any other
ingredient. Yes it list "Meat Ingredients" being the most but that is only
by combining pork and beef. But the big question is why someone so critical
about pre-ground meat would buy such a product in the first place. OH! You
trust Tyson Foods but not your local butcher. What a joke.

Fully cooked yet still can be sliced. That big round thing is a whole
onion, my wife can't tolerate onion so I leave a few whole for me. I
still can't fathom why she can eat a stew containing whole onions but
not if cut up in the stew... I don't get it but it's not worth an
argument so I contimue to leave my onions whole. She doesn't like
rare beef either, so pot roast is a perfect compromise, I like pot
roast but there's a lot more prep involved than plain old roast beef.

Thanks Steve, Your steak is properly cooked medium rare. It also proves my

I happen to still have all my own teeth except for two wisdoms.
I also have a full head of thick luxurious hair, that my stylist says
even young women would kill for.

Today I went into town for my teeth cleaning and afterwards bought a
couple of top round roasts on sale, froze one and turned a four
pounder into luscious pot roast:

Butter not melting. Did you take too long to take a picture?
What's with the only 3 pea pods cooked. Don't like veggies?
LOL! 3 pea pods....why even bother?

No. Sorry Steve but that looked the same gray as Sheldons steak looked.
His was just a thinner steak.
Medium rare should turn just from "blue" (raw) in the middle to deep
red.
Your steak was also overcooked and grayish, it's just thicker.

Also, I make mine in a cheap RevereWare stainless steel pan.
I use no oil or butter. I bring it up to very hot (where a water droplet
will dance), then I throw it onto the pan. It sure sticks but I leave it
there about a minute or so to sear nicely. Then a fork poked into the
edge will easily unstick it to flip over for 2nd searing. The second
side takes about 2 minutes.

Then I'll turn down the heat to low medium, flip the steak (which is no
longer sticking) and cook it for a few minutes, then flip one more
time. I get medium rare every time.

Next time I cook one, I'll send a finished pic. Red in the middle, not
gray.

The secret is to braise in a 29 oz can of crushed tomatoes with a can
of dark beer. Beer mellows the acid in tomatoes, wine enhances the
acid... I'll occasionally drink wine but I never cook with wine. I
don't drink much beer either but I keep it for cooking.
Most mac n' cheese recipes call for bacon but I much prefer kielbasa:

I've mentioned here recently that I've never had a good pot roast.
Waste of beef, imo.
That said, what you cooked there looks like it could
very well change my mind. That looks *SO* good.

I aim to please. People who cook just to please themselves should
live alone. It's no biggie to omit onions, I'm not gonna cry over it.

I use elipses often in my posts. Probably not correctly often. In
addition to "cutting out a continuing sentence" I also use them as
pauses in the conversation. Wrong probably but I don't care. I'm not in
English class getting graded. heheh
