How Do You Like Your Steak?

[Zaukrie]

I'll take it anywhere from medium rare to medium well. And - don't give me any guff for this - my favorite steak sauce is good old-fashioned ketchup.

I've given up judging others for their tastes, but you're tempting me here....

Excuse me, waiter? I distinctly ordered my post with no guff!

Oh definitely. Another lesser- known secret about steaks is that fattier, marbled cuts of meat need more heat to melt that fat and get all juicy and tender.

Not necessarily, you can cook at very low temps and do a reverse sear that will turn out as good if not better.

Im a medium rare guy. Simple salt and pepper is mo go to prep.

Smoked a leg 'o' Lamb last week to just over 135 when I took it off. Id say it was between medium rare and medium.

I swear by the reverse sear. Best technique if you have the time I think.

Rare, and I used to be snobby about it (and about not using sauce) but a couple things have loosened me on that, most recently having a greek place cook the naughty word out of a steak kabob and dipping that into some spiced German ketchup. And that well done steak with (spiced) ketchup was still really good.

Medium rare with a small pat of butter on top. Never needed anything else.

The best Steak I've ever had (sorry Grandpa) was from a little Greek place in Edmonton Alberta. I dont know what they did, I dont know what it was, but man was it ever good.

Do you remember the name of the ketchup? Was it maybe curry ketchup? That stuff is great.
