Page 2 | How do you like your sirloin streak cooked?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 02/09/2024 07:25

Rare as can be because I don’t want to be eating it for hours.

Medium but high heat to have a char on the outside. But if it's a fillet, blue-rare with the same process but hotter & quicker. Imo sirloin doesn't work as well blue/rare, the flavour isn't as good down there.

Crispy and Cremated. Because eating blood is disgusting.

yes

I grew up on well done dry chewy meat, rarely steak other than minute steak, unless my dad's mate who worked at Smithfield's had something 'on offer'.
I started working in restaurants firstly as a waitress at 15 then in the kitchens at 18 and learned to cook steak properly. I took my mum to the restaurant I worked in and we both had sirloin steak. She had hers well done I had mine rare, I persuaded her to try mine and she's never ordered a well done steak since! She tends to go med/rare but she kept saying she couldn't believe how soft and tasty it was, but she learned to cook from my gran who could create leather from anything

Lamb too. You can have that pink and juicy. Grew up on it being served tough and grey looking.

And some fish. I love Tuna in a restaurant, usually in France or Spain, that take a chunk of tuna and wave it over the hot plate. I don't have the courage to cook it myself like this with the fish bought in a fishmongers, but in a good restaurant
. Same with salmon.
My favourite meal.

Seared, raw in the middle, just like all steak - bleu they call it

It's not blood.

TheGreatestAtuin · 02/09/2024 07:07

Blue or rare (depends where I am eating it!). Topped with some garlicky crevettes.

If I had a choice I'd prefer filet or rib-eye though.

I am medium.

On another note. I have always shopped at Sainsbury's but it's just too ridiculous now (yes even with a nectar card) . So I have done my last few shops in lidl. I bought some steaks - not opened yet so I have yet to experience sirloin from there but they look great in the packaging.

Which supermarket does a good steak in your opinion?

Aldi does great steaks, better than Lidl and roughly the same price 🙂. Lidl aren't bad though.

Andoutcomethewolves · 02/09/2024 06:41

Medium rare, on the rarer side. But cooked in a pan so hot that the outside is blackened.

I'd usually go for fillet though and have that rare to blue, but the outside still needs to be burnt (so far as possible).

H has to cook his steak separately to me as the weirdo likes the same level of rareness as me on the inside but with the outside barely cooked either?! That to me is what adds the flavour! His steak looks like old grey leather (he has his bacon the same 🤢).

Why is this in aibu rather than chat?

MrsToothyBitch · 02/09/2024 06:31

Sirlion- rare to medium rare.
Filet - rare.

Seasoned, rested, tender, and juicy. I like mine served with leek and mustard sauce on the side. Heaven.

oh phew it’s just myoglobin and muscle oxygen! Yummers! Thanks for telling me three times. Now I’ll have it the way the chef wants me to like it so she doesn’t have nightmares.

🤢🤢🤢 🤮

You're welcome, but seriously you honestly thought it was blood

It's myoglobin, a protein that moves oxygen to muscle. Who told you that? Have you always just thought that without looking into it? You are a chef's nightmare

I dunno.

People like what they like.

I had a private chef that worked for me a couple of times that got offended when I asked for salt.

She didn't work for me again.

It's not for anyone else to judge the level of seasoning I like.

Show quote history

Agree! Salt/seasoning levels are different for everyone

I just found that people who want crispy and cremated still want it juicy as well, really hard to deliver that

Galiana · 02/09/2024 06:11

It's also fine not to know that everyone understands food.

Food is so personal. I would never assume to tell anyone how to eat their food.

Blue because it tastes best and melts in the mouth and doesn't require a chainsaw to cut it.

Also: cooked by my brother in law.

this post is depressing

Is it though?

I love food and cooking, but if someone else wants to eat a steak that's been done to death and then smothered in a condiment of their choice, what business of it is mine?

I don't have to eat it.

Let people eat what makes them happy.

My husband OTOH only has his very very very well done. If there's a speck that's not charcoal, it's going back in the pan.

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 02/09/2024 04:57

Rare or medium rare because otherwise it's too tough and chewy.
