So, I thought what we need is a bona fide food porn thread. :P

I have recently become a fan of steaks (a great butcher opened nearby, with grass fed Polish beef) and was wondering if the Languish community has any good recipes. So far my favourite has been very simple - just put some salt and pepper on, and fry it for 3 minutes on each side, with no oil/butter (just a bunch of mushrooms on butter as a side).

it looks like this before:

That is incredibly gay dishware.

This is actually a cheese knife but it is very handy for a steak.

I throw the steaks on the grill, but yeah that's pretty much how I cook them. A few minutes on either side, with a bit of salt. I don't bother with pepper.

First of all, the western Canadian in me tears up that you're cooking those steaks in a grill pan, and not outside over open flame like God intended.

There's nothing wrong with a very simple salt and pepper seasoning on a steak.  If I want to get "fancy" though I'll rub the steak with a piece of garlic, season with salt and pepper, apply some olive oil, and then some minced up rosemary.  It's subtle, but does add an extra bit of flavour while not detracting from the meat itself.

Well, I live in one of those weird places with residential areas mixed with shops called cities so having a grill on my balcony is a no-no (I barely managed to install an AC unit without my condo association throwing a fit :P). But the seasoning idea looks nice.  :hug:

If a condo board tried to prevent people from having a barbecue on their balcony there'd be open revolt.

I don't have to worry about the condo board doing it, that's the Fire Department's gig.

You lose points for using a glass top stove, however.  You poured all that money into that unit, and yet you go ghetto with the range.  How gauche.
