Thumbs up A great steak!!!!

I've just had the most delicious supper ever. I'm still on induction and the whole plateful came to only 8 grams of carbs. A pile of french beans smothered in garlic butter and a thick 10oz fillet steak topped with generous slices of mozzarella cheese. Very fulfilling and a meal I highly reccomend!!

Speak to you all soon,
SebastienC

Default Ah, steak . . .

Hi all,

Ah, steak. Unless it is seriously overcooked, I like it any way.

Here is just one of a thousand good ways to do it, and one I like:

Put a cast iron skillet over a high flame and let it get hotter'n a busy robber's pistol.

Dry the steak with a paper towel. Unless it is dry, it won't stick to the pan. Press salt and pepper into both sides of the steak.

Throw it in the pan -- and don't move it around. Then flip it over. It will be crusty. Let it cook, depending on the thickness of the steak and how done you like it, just long enough on each side. Put it on a plate.

Take the pan off the heat and throw in a big lump of butter. You want the butter to melt, but not burn. As it melts, scrape the pan to stir up all the browned bits. Then glug in about a cup of dry red wine. Put it back and over lower heat and let it simmer, stirring, until the wine/butter sauce is reduced by half. Pour it over the steak.

Rich and good. The wine will add a couple of carbs, but, unless you drink it while you're doing all this, you won't have to worry about the alcohol.

WOW Arrow,

Your way of cooking steak sounds outstanding. I'm going out to buy a cast iron skillet today. I gave all my old ones to my sons but I'll have fun seasoning it.

The best topping to a steak is some thin slices of cream cheese, and some sauteed, buttery mushrooms. Try it, it's lovely. You don't need to much, and the flavour is to die for.

I love steak any way you cook it and I make roasted garlic butter to top it with. I roast a head of garlic, then squezze out the cloves into a food processor with a softened stick of butter, tablespoon of parmesean cheese, parlsey flakes and basil. Whirl it around until the mixture is well blended. Then roll it in a piece of saran wrap into a cylinder shape and throw it in the freezer for about 5 minutes. When the steak is ready to eat...put a thick slice of butter on top and let it melt into the steak and you will love it!!! I usually freeze the leftover butter. It lasts about a week in the freezer. ENJOY....I do!
