T-Bone Steak



My method for preparing a T-Bone is sprinkle over some meat seasoning
and about a 1/4 pack of onion soup.

Put it in a cold oven set to 325 for about 40-45 min. I have also
learned to put it on a rack to prevent such a watery taste.

This turns out ok. It is kind of hard to mess up a T-Bone even if you
are as lousy a cook as I am.

What can I do to improve the taste? I have heard that some beat the
steak before hand.

Also I use 1/3 mayo, 1/3 ketchup, and 1/3 Heinz 57 sauce to dip the
steak in.

No comment on your method. A straightforward alternative would be to
use your broiler instead of the oven. Preheat the broiler. Let the
steak come to room temperature. Season it with salt and freshly ground
pepper. Put it under the broiler, about 4" below. Cook 4 minutes,
turn, cook 4 minutes longer. Remove and let rest while you mix the
mayo, ketchup and Heinz in a small bowl. Put the bowl in the fridge
and let it wait for the next time. Eat the steak unadorned.

This is a starting place. If you like it less cooked, shorten the
cooking time the next time. Now that you know what steak tastes like,
decide how you want to season it the next time. -aem

Are you serious? Your dipping sauce would disguise the flavor of nearly
everything. Almost anything you do could improve this. i.e. grill it, pan
grill it, broil it..ANYTHING but what you do TO it. Luck..
 
Hmmm... buried in dried onions and garlic powder, then fried covered in
burnt onions and sugar, and then the residue from that process is dipped in
ketchup and mayo prior to mastication. The meat is well done, also, I would
hazard a guess.

Seems the logical approach would be to use texas toast or hamburger or
round steak or new york strap instead of T-bone, and leave the T-bone for
beef lovers.

T-bone is a cut that should be grilled/fried and served as-is: Some would
say it's a crime to use sauces on the best cuts of meat - and T-bone is one
of the best.

Seriously, you probably wouldn't notice much difference in taste if you
substituted thick sliced bread dipped in egg. Try that.

You've been trolled. How long you been doing this... haven't you
learned yet that whenever you see a brand new poster with something
ludicrous chances are 99 44/100% it's a troll.

trolled -? OMG ! How is that possible? And I even checked their e-mail
address.

Yeah, maybe, but sometimes they're real people, and if not and they're
trolling, I always thought it was funnier if one parodied back.

(and I know people who think that dipping sauce is great.....)

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not
so great) words of knowledge:

Try Adolph's Meat Marinade, not the steak marinade.

Disregard the directions for the length of time to marinade. Let it
marinade for AT LEAST 4 HOURS, then, as others have suggested, use the
broiler in your oven.

You can cook the steak well done (ech ) if you like and it will still be
reasonably moist, tender and flavorful. I suggest cooking the steak to
NO MORE than medium for the best flavor, tenderness and amount of
moisture though.
