grilled my first steak today
i followed all the instructions 100%
1. bought myself a piece of 1 inch thick new york strip with some marbling
2. oil up the grill, heat it to 500 degrees F
3. put salt and oil on steaks
4. grill 5 min each side
5. let it rest for 5 min, put on black pepper
wasn't impressed with the taste. although it was perfectly medium with grill marks, it was hard, difficult to chew, not much beef flavor. just like a salty piece of soft rubber.
what did i do wrong?
not a great cut, also obviously overcooked for your tastes
salt and pepper alone will be pretty bland, next time add butter to a frying pan towards the end of it cooking and baste it with it
some garlic in the pan won't hurt either, rosemary etc
>perfectly medium

Buy a shit grade cut and sandwich steak slice thickness at that. Get a 2" thick prime cut next time son
Why the fuck would you cook steaks under the grill?
You forgot pepper, nigga. Or maybe your taste buds just suck ass because it sounds good otherwise also post pics faggot
>frying pan
Lol? What does a frying pan steak taste like?
>Implying medium isn't the best way to cook steak
>what did I do wrong?
you cooked it past med rare
Here how you do
1 wagyu steak
2 duck fat in pan
3 start oven for 320
4 medium low heat for pan put duck grease
5 wait till fat melt then put steak in pan
6 3 min each side
7 put in oven for 5 to 7 min depends on your preference
8 take it out from the oven
9 put steak in foil
10 put wine in pan at low heat
11 let it reduce till it a sauce
12 combine steak and sauce
13 bon appétit
Duck fat ,
What are you 100 years old?
Duck fat the best thing you can use
It's probably a flyover who thinks anything except GMO corn oil is some exotic thing that only exists in anime
Duck fat isn't good for high heat cooking.
Better than a grilled steak. Better crust, consistency, and taste, and we all know you don't taste the smokiness in a steak like you would a brisket; you only taste char and stale smoke. Grilling small cuts is a gimmick.
Medium is best for fatty cuts like ribeye, medium rare for leaner cuts like NY strip.
>what did i do wrong?
You used the broiler. Use a hot frying pan/skillet next time.
If your budget thight angus works just as well
Medium low
320f
Where do you see high heat man
>cooking a steak medium low
That's the problem.
Sorry murican i happen to like my steak not dry and not burnt
>6 3 min each side
>7 put in oven for 5 to 7 min depends on your preference
That's 11-13 minutes of direct cooking. No wonder you need wagyu.
>implying rare is less then perfect
Sounds over done to me, you could repeat the steps with a thicker steak and have it good
but I also do not like new york strip as much
>Buy filet mignon
>Use a frying pan thats lightly oiled
>Salt and Pepper that steak
>Braise it with butter
>Cook that shit to medium
You're welcome
All the things the other user said, plus you get to make a nice pan sauce while the steak is resting. Impractical for large gatherings though.
>Impractical for large gatherings though.
I put this on the grill after lighting it. After 30 minutes when the coals are nice and ready, the pan will be hot enough to cook 8-10 rib eyes on both sides without any loss in temp. It's my secret to get a super thick crust w/ just 30 seconds per side.
You could do the same on a 6 or 4-slot stove though
>it was hard, difficult to chew
You probably cooked it beyond medium, and you probably also didn't let it rest
You grilled steak? Why the fuck would you do that? You're supposed to use skillet, or at the very least a frying pan.
Here's my technique that I've perfected.
>get a decent cut of steak (NY Strip or Ribeye)
>heat oven to 250F
>put in oven for 20 minutes
>take out of oven and put on hot skillet
>sear both sides then add butter, garlic and rosemary
>WA LA
Comes out amazing every time.
