What everyone else said. But cooked for as little time as possible.

don't salt it before cooking though, it draws out moisture. get the pan wicked hot too.

I was planning on mashed po-tay-toes, certainly. What are your feelings on marinade? (For future reference, not for this meal, which will be simple and tasty).

I never marinate, but I don't know what UK steak is like -- here, since the supermarket selection isn't good, I buy 21 day dry-aged and don't want to cover up the flavor I'm paying extra for. If there were some happy medium between the two, it'd be another story.

The only thing I do other than straight-up cook-it-and-rest-it is steak sandwiches, usually Philly style or chacareros (sliced steak, avocado, steamed green beans, chile sauce).

I don't really marinade steak either, apart from a couple of times with rosemary oil and lemon juice, but I'd leave the lemon til after cooking.

If yr supermarket steak shopping, you canm't get better than the Jamie Oliver stuff in Sainsbury's, it's really really good, but pricey. Otherwise get thee to Borough, on a friday afternoon is good, much less tourist action

I think marinating is fun. I love spicey soy saucey marinades. You just need to make sure to use flavors you enjoy (spices, herbs, etc), an oil (to spread the flavor) and an acid (to break-down/tenderize the meat). Poke holes with a fork, marinade, towel off and broil (you don't want it to be too wet when you broil or else it'll just steam).

probably should have revived a different thread tho, I hate cooking

my only accompaniments to this steak were a slice of bread & some watercress
