My meat costs a hell of a lot less than what they charge, sometimes by half. Just heavily salt your steak and let it sit overnight. Then let it warm to room temperature before heating a cast iron skillet and searing both sides properly. That's it. Salt, pepper, and steak sauce, and you have a perfectly cooked steak. Silly people, keep wasting your money with the nag flesh sold at Tops. Not me. Good for you. I have tried the cheap NZ ribeye and it is terrible. I know you think you know better than everyone but believe me, you don't. Some things are worth paying for - good steak is one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay wholesale pricing. I don't buy cheap meat, I buy good meat cheaply. One can only hope you can hold those two thoughts in your head at the same time.

Salt, put it in the pan for maybe 3min on each side. Pepper. Done. Not very good, but good enough. And it cost maybe 250 THB. Expensive I can get this for 209 baht including soup and salat.

No. Fair play..... to be honest I would not buy steak that requires salting before cooking anyways... doing that assists with tenderizing so your cheap import steak is likely only good for making stews and casseroles anyways. Rib Eye I buy is perfect, requires not salting. https://meatstuffpattaya.com/product/australian-rib-eye/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DudleySquat Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 It cooks beautifully in my cast iron pan. I get the Maillard effect on both sides to a medium rare. They are seasoned perfectly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gargamon Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I won't eat any beef in Thailand. Lucky for me I'm back in Canada a couple of times a year and can get some wonderful Alberta Beef then, some of the best on the planet. Reminds me, need to get to Costco to get some for the weekend BBQ. Supposed to get to 18C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't fool the beef. I want to go where they want to put meat in my mouth. Ted's of Beverly Hills is out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Rib-Eye Salt, pepper, MSG hot skillet 1 min, then turn every minute till reach desired internal temp ~125F, rest for 5 mins. No real need to take out of frig early, as internal temp drops very little. Reverse sear after oven or sous vid works excellent also, if you have patience. No need to rest after searing.

Lacessit Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, DudleySquat said: Yes. It adds flavour and pulls moisture from the meat. You want that for the Maillard effect to happen. News to me, I was always under the impression a Maillard reaction occurred with reducing sugars, I don't know where you find them in protein and fat. Certainly, steak will brown with cooking. Or even before. However, it's not a Maiilard reaction, it's a myoglobin oxidation. I don't bother buying steak in Thailand to eat as is, I put gravy beef in curries instead. Nothing tender here. In Australia, I use grass-fed eye fillet with a hot pan lightly coated with oil. Sear one side, then the other. Turn over one final time, then wait until liquid forms on the top of the steak.
