If the steak looks like that, you won't be needing any oil.

No, fucking olive oil is the shit. Greek gods use that shit to masterbate

dude you may as well just throw that shit in the trash if you're gonna use olive oil

>>6225083
Actually this is the steak

It has a pretty big strip of fat but the marble is.. meh

Its fine. I prefer butter but OO works just fine. Id add some rosemary and garlic or shallots aswell with OO

>>6225101
Fuck forgot pic

>>6225113
Just cut off a bit of the fat, that strip is pretty thick. Fry that up first, and you'll have the oil you need to fry the steak.

Olive oil will smoke pretty badly at proper steak searing temp.

WHY RUIN IT LOOKS LIKE GOOD STEAK FUCK PAN FRYING CHARCOAL GRILL IT.

STOP.

I have been on 4chan for a long, long time, I rarely lurk these days but came across your thread tonight. I will tell you what to do.

Remove the steak from the packaging, lightly apply about a dime size of olive oil to both sides and massage it in. THEN after you rubbed in the oil, cracked black pepper, and sea salt both sides. let sit out about 45 minutes (or closer to room temp). Set oven to 450 degrees, put cast iron, or oven safe pan inside prior to heating. when oven is preheated put on a glove you fucking faggot and turn burner to high 8/10 if electric, wait about 30 secs for it to warm, pull out hot pan (with glove hand dumbass) place on burner, throw steak on for 30 seconds. throw slice of butter in pan, grasp pan handle allow all juices to run down to curve in pan (against burn) and use tongs to hold fat back in bubbling oil/butter/juice for about 30 seconds, then lay on other side for 30 seconds. Put pan in oven for 2 or 3 mins, flip steak and again, light tent for 2 or 3 mins on plate.

Total time, no more than 11 minutes. itll be medium rare, 2 mins a side for more rare, if the steak isn't pre frozen eat it rare as fuck you pussy.

this is an absolute myth. You do not need a crazy hot pan to achieve a good brown sear on your steak

>>6225130
That makes sense. When I saw the steak the first thing I thought was 'ugh that giant fat strip' --and I like fat on my steak, thank you.

How much do you think I will need to cut to make the oil?

>>6225146
>butter

If I had butter I wouldn't be having this problem

>>6225165
Maybe not, but at lower temps the sear would take longer to achieve, and thus may result in an overcooked steak.
You should adjust your cooking temperature based on the thickness and desired doneness of your steak.

>>6225165
Btw my electric skillet goes up to 400 degrees American, and that's it.

How hot doo you faggots think it has to be?

>>6225081
one interesting thing you can do is sear one side of the steak in the pan with olive oil, then put the pan in the oven at a HOT temperature for another 5min or so, and serve the steak seared side up. The top will have the crispy seared texture and the bottom will be as rare as the middle and almost melt in your mouth.

I typically do this with Filet Mignon when I rarely buy them, but it should work on a Ribeye too.

MASSAGE IT? ITS STEAK DUDE NOT 1 YOUR FAG FRIENDS FUCK THAT SEASON THE BITCH THEN GRILL IT WHY RUIN GOOD MEAT.MASSAGE IT GRRRRRR

>>6225192

>>6225173
6225146 here.

NONE, don't cut anything, don't cut into it until you're done cooking and ready to eat.

dont worry about the butter if you don't have it, spoon the fond onto the steak as it cooks if possible.

>>6225203
the angstpimples are strong with this one.

the oil needs to be massaged or rubbed in for your butthurt self so that the seasoning will stick. He probably doesn't plan to grill it look how thin it is you fucknut.

If you leave chunks of fat on your plate you are a pussy and I hate everything about you.

>>6225219
I BET YOU MASSAGED YOUR FAIR SHARE OF SAUSAGE HAVENT YOU.

>>6225272
Now that's funny!!

I CANT TELL IF HES TRYING EXPLAIN HOW 2 COOK A STEAK OR JACK SOMEBODY OFF

Finished product. Rare with creamed spinach. Kitchen Smokey as fuck.

U GOT B KIDDING ME ITS NOT EVEN COOKED OMG

>>6225409
did you use my method?

>>6225181

Also an complete and total myth.

you just don't need a smoking hot pan for a good sear and you won't overcook your steak with a less-than-smoking-hot pan. It's all a load of crap.

>>6225428

GTFO thirsty nigger

>seriously that's embarassing have some self respeck

>>6225575
I am with you anon. Hot pan so the meat can be a bit cool in the very center.
I like my meat rare as fuck.

>>6225575

you've been brainwashed but that's OK. just know that a very hot, but not stupid hot pan is how to cook your steak

>>6225459

>>welldoneu
>rare

you failed to get the joke, silly

>>6225646
olive oil smokes in a hot pan.
you dont need stupid hot to make olive oil smoke.
very low smoke point

Rather than creating a new thread i'll just ask here. What is a good marinade for steak? Preferably something that gives a hint of spicy BBQ. Also it'd be best if it only had to marinade not more than 24h.

>>6225739

Depends on what you're talking about.
Normal (refined) olive oil has a very high smoke point. There's nothing wrong with cooking a steak in that.
EVOO, on the other hand, is low.

>>6227259
>What is a good marinade for steak?

For what purpose, anon? You trying to tenderize crappy steaks to improve their texture, or are you simply trying to add flavor?

>>6227349
Generally trying to add a bit of spicy flavour. Also a small part because of it is because I'm not getting the stake from my butcher but my supermarket instead.

>>6227361

If all you want to do is add a little spice then I'd just season the steak with a little red pepper (cayenne) in addition to the normal S&P before you cook it.

If you are concerned about tenderness (e.g. you bought a steak with crappy marbling) then you want a marinade with something acidic in it. Something like a little lime juice, some neutral flavored oil, molasses (for the sweet BBQ thing you mentioned), and some chili pepper would be good.

>>6227367
Wow seems to be easier than i thought. Thanks

>>6225739

if you're using EVOO yes, but I get quite high temps on my normal non-virgin olive oil without any smoke or burnt flavor whatsoever.

>>6227367
However if i decide to marinate it can i go with thyme, pepper, mustard powder, obliterated garlic with cayenne and use it to marinate the steaks overnight?
>yfw upon reading this

>>6227576

Sure, you could do that. I'm not sure why you'd use that in a marinade though, rather than just seasoning the steak with it. With no oil and no acid it's not going to matter if you put it on the steak right before cooking or if you leave it for a long time.

>>6227583
Shoot! yeah forgot to include extra virgin oil in there to.
Still useless then rite?

>>6227589

Adding a little oil would help the flavors penetrate the meat better, sure.
