Thread: Bambies back steaks

This is a break from the norm for me as i usually prefer steaks cut and fast fried with a bit of salt or if thats getting monotonous a marinade.

One young tussok fed red backsteak cut in half.

Rubbed with chicken salt ground chillies,ground cumin seeds and black pepper.


Rubbed all over with generous amounts of Chilli infused rice bran oil, and Garlic salt for the sake of it.


Left on the bench for a hour or so to allow it to come up to room temp(important) and let the good stuff do its trick.
Heated oven and turned off. Just want it warm in there so the steak doesnt go cold but dont want it to cook it.

A real frying pan(heavy cast iron that doesn't lose all its heat by the time you turn) really F ing hot and in they go for about 1m30sec per side.


Out of the pan and into the warm oven to rest.(warm not hot,touch the pan if it burns your hand its hot)

Knock up a salad while its resting.

Slice.

Plate up.


I like a bit of french dressing on salad but whatever your into.

Once again I have managed to make steak more tender and juicey than it has any right to be

Looks good

Ooooohhh yuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have done a good job there vc

Beautiful!!!

I use the same technique with the cast iron pan or plate on the barby. Yet I rarely coat the meat in anything. I salt the pan or plate, no oil. Sear till the blood comes thru and repeat on the other side.
Rest and enjoy. I only keep clean shot yearlings or 5-6 month old animals for myself and the family.
My kids love crummed and seasoned venny steaks. I just like it plain. Hearts and livers are coated then cooked in some oil and butter in the same manner. Meat cooked from room temp is a very important step in a perfect steak.

VC you had me drooling right up to the end (in fact I was thinking of proposing) but then you said the S word (salad). Mate salad is not food, that is what food eats. Great cooking though.

Hahah I love that, Salad is what food eats

Ha Ha yea, I was waiting for that.
Not a huge part of my diet at all but after a entire winter of mostly the missus cooking (chicken and chips or fish and chips or sausasges and chips.....you get the idea) I begin to crave something-anything that grew in the ground other than chips!

Those steaks look so delicious...do you make the chilli infused oil yourself?
