Cooking steaks...how exactly?

Question

I am trying to cook steaks on the stove top (I have tried in oven) and my question is what goes in the pan I fry them in? Cooking oil? Regular butter? Or something I totally forgot about? Thanks for any serious answers!

Answer 1

put seasoning on the meat then rub with oil just to lightly coat the meat on all sides then use a dry pan to cook how ever you like it. Just remember that the higher the heat the faster the outside cooks and if your steak seems stuck to the pan don't worry just leave it alone and after a couple of min the steak will release itself.  

Answer 2

Just a very light covering of oil. You just need enough to barely cover the pan.

Butter will burn too easily. But you can serve the steak with butter, which is very good.

PEPPER AND ONION STEAK OVER RICE  

Steak:

1 lb. steak (sirloin-round/rib eye-cube), cut in strips

1 lg. sweet green pepper, cut in strips

Brown steak in skillet. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add remaining ingredients. Cover; cook on low 15 minutes. While cooking, make rice and gravy (below).

Rice:

Place the above 4 ingredients into a 2 quart saucepan. Heat over high heat until water boils. Cover and reduce heat to low; cook 15 minutes or until rice is tender.

Remove from heat, leaving covered (stir with fork before serving).

While rice is cooking, in a separate saucepan, combine 2 cups water and bouillon cube or soup base. Stir in 1/2 cup flour; whisk until smooth. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat (about 15 minutes).

Answer 5

Sometimes I like to marinate the steak in Worcestershire (sorry about spelling) sauce and then putting a little in the pan. It may be a little salty put it tastes really good, and you always can do a little bit and see if you like it first.

Answer 6

drizzle some reg oil into pan, you can add some crushed garlic and salt for flavor or use some sliced onions instead. (bellpeppers and tomatoes are great too)
