Where To Enjoy A Good "Affordable" Steak?

[Happily1986]

Yes, cast iron skillet is gold standard. but my friend has something like this

with good meat, good enough to beat most steaks served in singapore.

 

I remember seeing in the supermarkets for quite sometime, grill pans which have been treated with ceramic coating for that non stick effect. similar I think? can't remember whether it is derived from Korea or Japan.

you need a high temperature to sear the surface of the steak quickly so you can seal in the natural juice asap. a teflon pan cannot withstand the high temperature a cast iron one can, especially if you are referring to a griddle pan.

 

this is what i have been taught by a sous chef.

 

You r right. Not just cooking steaks, all other dishes need high temp to seal the taste. Our home cooking can never achieve that

 

Those restaurants gas stove are huge industrial type. The fire is really big and can reach high temp easily.

like my steak-loving friend said,

 

"if u are willing to buy good meat $20/cut and above, have a smoking grill, good steak is guaranteed"

 

but i won't let him use my kitchen hahaha

We cant do much in our apartment kitchens. as ducted kitchen hoods are illegal, we only can count on kitchen hoods that are operating on recycle mode and hoods in the latter category don't do their job very well unfortunately. The best place to cook a roaring good steak is in one's backyard.

What does 'taste' look like?

I've never seen taste seeping out of my steak?

 

Another tip is to let a steak rest for 5 minutes or so before eating.

This allows the juices to redistribute.

 

you seem like one who is very particular about food. Go read up on Maillard Reaction.

"seem" only lah............

one important point to note...

 

you only flip your steak once when you cook them.

Went to look for the grill pans. Most of them are > 100 bucks!! Ikea is selling one around $30 but dun think it's good. The one from Happycall seems reasonable at $80+ Maybe I'll go for the kimchi then.

I used this at my friend's place before. still okay to grill steaks 1.5cm thick

wah, this is a very useful thread. Once wasted $30 getting a "good" steak from Cold Storage but don't know how to cook it properly --> didn't turn out good

[LinOrLim]

Actually, Botak Jones, good. Astons - not good. Jack's Place, average.

[LinOrLim]

there is one more western restaurant at joo chiat road. can't remember he unit number, you go in from entrance from Hotel 81 side, walk in. you would see it after few minutes drive. It was featured in Straits Time live, where it state you could the NFL superbowls "LIVE".
