How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

i always pan fry with half oil half butter and clobes of garlic all busted up, only seasoning otherwise is salt and pep

sear edges first and really work on the fat strip if it has one, then cook till it has a crust

i like my steak medium, medium-rare so i dont mind it more cooked than less, never liked undercooked steak like some peeps

i always make butter garlic mashed taters with the steak and side of mushrooms sauteed separately while the steak cooks or maybe brocollini or aspergers

im not really into sauces but im experimenting with a bechemel??? have yet to have one really turn out.

Sear the steak to keep all of the blood inside. Also serve over-easy with catsup.

We've had this discussion in another thread recently. Searing doesn't keep the juices inside, it's a complete myth. Searing is for Maillard, has nothing to do with moisture retention.

I make some pretty good steak, you see I buy the cheapest but biggest steak at the store then I throw it on the barbeque and let it burn until it has roughly the texture of a shoe. Slather it in barbecue sauce and enjoy my delicious meal.

Grew up on dairy farm. . .whole straight milk is glorious. Fresh fried chicken. . .however, the meat we got was retired Holstein and my mom broiled steaks 90% of the time.

When my father was first starting up his farm, him and my mother would usually have an old cow butchered, and she would have to bring out the meat tenderizing hammer to make it decent. One day they said to themselves, "why the hell are we doing this?". From then on their would specifically raise a heifer or steer for personal consumption, and have it on a high-feed diet. Since it could easily get full, it wouldn't need to graze as much, and would spend more time lounging around with full stomachs and not burning as many calories or toughening up its muscles.

Our farm is primarily Limousin and Charolais cattle (used to be ~1100 head, but it's now a one-man operation so it's been downscaled to just over 650 head). Limousin cattle have some of the highest dressing weights and Charolais are some of the fastest gainers. Both breeds have really nicely marbled meat, so when you mix the two you have the perfect cattle for not only eating, but also profit. If you feed them right, their meat looks nearly identical to Kobe beef, but that's waaaay to fatty for our tastes. Raising beef on corn is a really big no-no as corn will taint the meat and even cause the fat to turn yellow and the beef to take on a corny flavour. The ideal feed is grass. We feed our beef grass, hay (grass) and feed pellets (compressed grass), so you really get a nice beefy taste without some of the additional (imo, less desirable) flavours that you get from feed lot cattle that are primarily fed subsidized corn feed.

A lot of people swear by Angus beef, but that is just really effective marketing, in that people in the US especially are told Angus is the best possible beef in North America. Personally, I don't care for the flavour as much as ours (might be personal bias), but it is still good beef.

A nice sirloin is an under rated steak. A lot of the cuts that don't get much press due to less marbling actually have more flavor and as long as you don't cook them to death they're still plenty tender.

Plus everything from Iowa is better because I'm from Iowa.

I was taught Limousin was basically the best beef around. Our meat was good for what it was used for. Our Holsteins are kept clean, cool/warm and non-stressed. I don't know the specific mix they are fed now, but it's chopped hay, corn, ensilage, cotton seed primarily. When I say I grew up on the farm, I mean I lived next door to the farm my dad grew up on and the one his youngest brother still runs. He's turned a small, no-steroid having herd of 70-90 into the 2nd top milk producing operation in the state, only behind a local agricultural college.

I worked in a large beef processing plant for a time and I've seen things. . .but I've also eaten ribeye cut straight off the side; cooked in the boiling water pumped into steel box used to sanitize knives. I've always liked the sirloin for the more meat for your money kind of thing but I also think it has a slightly stronger taste than the more marbley strips or ribeyes.

I grew up on a hippie parents farm where we had everything except cows and hogs. But my dad would just trade with neighbors for them, or buy it if he had to. Had chickens and geese and goats and lamb (and horses, but we didn't eat those).

Sirloins (my favourite steak cut) are under-rated because of a few reasons.

1. They don't have the familiar/stereotypical T-shaped bone in them (like the T-Bone) so they don't look like a typical steak.

2. A full-sized sirloin isn't usually one perfectly/uniformly shaped, solid piece. They can come in various shapes and usually have a "joint" or "tear" in the middle and taper at one end.

3. They are less well known and not as well marketed as the T-bone, Ribeye, Strip, Porterhouse, etc.

With a good, balanced diet. A lot of dairy breeds can approach and almost match beef quality of beef breeds. The key is usually to feed them as such from an early age and to butcher them before they have calved or gotten too old.

gently caress yeah. Sirloin rules. I buy the prime grade caps at costco and end up with a mess of really flavorful yet well marbled 1.5 inch steaks to pack the freezer with. And a bunch of end pieces for stir fry or cheesesteaks or whatever.

A good ribeye is nice but if I'm stocking up the sirloin is where the money is.
