Im looking for a really good steak/beef recipe. I want something juicy with a nice sauce. Any suggestions?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Are you looking for just steak and sauce, or an entire meal?

I made a meal on valentines day for my ex that got me... well we're not gonna go there.

OK. I bought some top sirloin strips, and marinated them in teryaki sauce (not very long).
The dipping sauce was a bleu cheese dressing base. I then threw in some cut, toasted almonds, a little almond extract, and then some tobasco sauce (I actually made the tobasco sauce into a red heart on top of the rest of the sauce). In addition to that, I also saute'd onions and mushrooms, and put them on top of the steaks when they were finished grilling (medium rare).

The side dishes were: 1) Grilled (or baked) asparagus (roll them in olive oil, sprinkle celery salt on them, and bake them at about 400ish until they are done... rolling them mid-cycle).
2) Twice baked potatoes. I think I gutted normal baking potatoes (after baking) and refilled them with fake potatoes that were cooked in a pot that I made bacon in (6 strips?). While they are cooking, chop up the bacon. Once the spuds are done, add a BUNCH of sour cream (like damn near an entire carton). Then add fresh cut chives, and lastly, about half of the chopped up bacon. Mix it all up. Re-fill the empty potato skins and top it off with the rest of the chopped bacon. Make sure everything comes out at once. You can prep by doing the dipping sauce first.

...don't think I forgot anything. Its tough to write it down though. I usually just kind of wing it once I get in the kitchen.

First and foremost go out and get some grass fed beef preferably a ribeye, filet or chateaubriand. Get a big bowl and mix together brown sugar(the base), ground espresso beans, kosher salt, powdered chipotle pepper, ground black pepper, white pepper, minced dried onion, ground ginger, and cayenne pepper. Use that as a dry rub. Make sure you pat the steaks dry before applying the rub. Let them sit at room temp for about 30min with the rub then BBQ medium rare. Let the steak rest for 10min off the grill and voila, best steak you'll ever have. If you've got a smoker I do it for 20min @ 200 degrees and they come out perfect.

Once you have grass fed beef you'll never go back. It's 100x healthier then corn/grain fed beef, more tender, leaner, packed with omega 3 and all around goodness. The only problem is cooking it because the fat content is so low that they dry up much quicker so the preferred doneness is rare to medium. I screwed up my first few but realized how much more they cook after pulling them off and letting them rest. The rub also helps lock in the moisture without them being too rare.

Grass Fed Ribeye's, the dark one was with the espresso bean rub, the other just a small amount of kosher salt and black pepper



Here's a couple of filets with the espresso bean rub. I've never been a huge fan of filet and I thought these were incredible.

I don't get fancy. Pick a lean cut like a flank steak, season it with some Montreal seasoning http://www.mccormick.com/Products/Grill ... oning.aspx

Fire up Mr. Foreman and five minutes. When I have the time I grill it over a fire, no gas, gas is for hot water heaters not meat.

You can't go wrong with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.

Adam can show you how to make a juicy tube steak with a nice sauce. It is relatively easy and quite quick.

[AppleBonker]

quite quick.

Too quick some might say.

Sear steak (I like hangar/onglet) in hot pan in clarified butter, remove to rest, reduce heat, add wine/stock, deglaze & reduce, voila.

Can do all sorts of things with sauce. Do a brown roux or use demi-glace, or don't reduce your sauce as much and use it to thin out an asparagus puree or something, then mount that with butter.

[hahaitzskippy]

salt & pepper, butter sear on both sides for 2 mins, then oven at 500* for additional 3-5 mins

that should be a rare - med/rare steak on a 1 inch cut

use a ribeye
