How to Cook Perfect STEAK Recipe

Percectly Cooked Steak

Medium Rare 

A BIT ABOUT STEAK

Beef purists may prefer to take in the unadulterated, rich flavour of a quality steak by adding nothing more than a sprinkling of salt and a generous twist of pepper. 

Searing a steak until it gets a caramelised brown crust will give it lots of flavour. For this to happen, the pan and the fat need to be hot enough. The conventional way is to sear it on one side, then cook it for the same amount on the other side. This gives good results but the second side is never as nicely caramelised as the first. To build up an even crust on both sides, cook the steak for the total time stated in the recipe, but turn the steak every minute.

HOW to COOK YOUR STEAK

Get your Butcher to cut you a nice Sirloin or Rib Steak a inch & a half thick. If you can afford it, it is best to buy Prime Beef Steaks, you will taste the difference, and Prime Meat is the best (though not cheap). If you can't afford to buy Prime Beef, you can get Choice Beef, and it will taste good if proerly seasoned and cook, but it just won't taste as good as Primed Beef. 

COOKING YOUR STEAK

1. Season your Steak liberally with Salt  and fresh ground Black Pepper.
2. Heat a heavy-based frying pan until very hot but not smoking.
3. Drizzle some oil into the pan and leave for a moment.
4. Add the steak to the pan.
5. Sear evenly on each side for our recommended time, turning every minute for the best caramelised crust.
6. After you have turned the Steak over to its second side, after it has cooked for 1 minute on the second side, add a nob of butter to the pan.
7. When the butter melts, baste the steak with the butter for the last minute of cooking by, using a spoon, pour the melted butter over the top of the Steak.
8. Leave to rest on a board or warm plate for about 5 mins.
9. Serve the steak whole or carved into slices with the resting juices poured over.

NOTE : MEDIUM RARE STEAK . This (MR) will be the benchmark for you to cook your steak. If you are cooking a 1 & 1/2" Steak at medium-high heat, you will need to cook your Steak between 2 1/2 and 3 minutes per side for a nice Medium Rare Steak.

RARE  ... Cook about a minute less per side than the above Medium Rare Steak

MEDIUM ... Cook about 1 minute more per side than the medium rare Steak. About 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per side.

Well Done ... Cook about 4 1/2 minutes per side for a Well Done Steak.

Additional flavors :  You can add a couple drops of Worscheter Sauce to the pan juice. Add the Worcestershire Sauce to the pan juice, mix together. Once you have placed the Steak (or Steaks) on to the plates, evenly drizzle the pan juices over the steaks.

Serve with potatoes, Creamed Spinach, or whatever you like.

Steakhouse Creamed Spianch Recipe Steak

 

 

STEAKHOUSE CREAMED SPINACH

Creamed Spinach, along with Shrimp Cocktail, and Potaotes is a favorite Steakhouse staple.

Creamed Spinach is a simple side dish that is also the perfect way to use up any dying spinach. The creaminess will make you forget you're eating spinach and turn anyone into a fan of leafy greens. It seems like a lot of spinach, but it will boil down into almost nothing so don't skimp on it. 

STEAKHOUSE CREAMED SPINACH - Recipe

Ingredients :

• 2 pounds Spinach, washed

• 3/4 cup Heavy Cream

• 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted Butter

• 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Sea Salt or Kosher)
  

• 1 teaspoon fresh ground Black Pepper

• 3 quarts Boiling Salted Water (to cook Spinach in)
  

• 
  

• Place Spinach in boiling water. The water will stop boiling when you put the spinach in.

• Once the water comes back to the boil, cook for 30 seconds, then turn heat off. Drain the cooked spinach into a colander. 

• Fill the pot you cooked the spinach in with cold water. Add the spinach and let sit for 2 minutes. 

• Drain the spinach again in the colander. Let sit.

• Put the Cream in a small sauce pan and turn the heat on to mediu. Add a pinch of salt, and cook the cream over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the cream starts to thicken. Turn heat off.

• Remove the spinach from colander, and squeeze the spincah to get as much possible water out of the spinach.

• Spinach on a cutting board, and roughly chop the spinach with a chefs knife.
  
• Dump any remaining water that was in the pot you cooked the spinach in. Make sure the pot is dry. Place butter in the pot and heat on low heat until the butter melts.
• Add the spinach to the pot with the Salt and Black Pepper. Heat for one minute on medium heat.
• Add the cream to the pot with the spinach and cook on medium heat for two minutes. Lower heat to low and cook another 3 minutes on low heat.
• Turn off heat and serve the Creamed Spinach with a Steak, Chicken, Fish or whatever you like.
• Enjoy!

PIZZA at JOE n PATS Manhattan

 

JOE & PAT'S PIZZERIA  ... A Brief History

Established in 1960, the restaurant was named for Giuseppe Pappalardo and his brother (Joe) and Pasquale Pappalardo (Pat) of Naples, Italy. In 1958 the brothers had immigrated from a small town near Naples, to Staten Island, New York. They opened Joe & Pat's in 1960. Doing well, their mother joined them a year later in 1961.

Lunch at JOE & PAT'S .. Friday, January 28, 2022

My buddy Pat called me up on Thursday, and said, "What are you doing." I told him I was getting ready to go to work. He told me that ahe was getting together with a couple of our friends the next day for lunch at Joe & Pat's Pizzeria, and asked if I wanted to join them. Are you kidding me? Of course I do. What's better than getting together with friends or family, to eat some good Italian Food and have a couple glasses of wine? I'm sure you all know the answer. 

Pat, "OK, we're meeting a 1, see you then."

Me, "Awesome. See you tomorrow brother."

Friday rolls around, and I'm having my morning coffee, when Pat calls. It was just 11:30 am. I pick up the phone, "What are you doing (Pat)"? Having coffee. "Where are you?" I told him I was at a cafe on 6th Ave. "OK, I'm driving through the tunnel, I'll pick you up in 20 minutes." 

Cool, I continued drinking my coffee, and doing some work on my laptop. Twenty minutes later Pat calls and tells me I'm in front of the theater (IFC). "OK, I'll be there in a minute. 

I hop in Pat's car and we had to the East Village. We get to the East Village, and it takes us a few minutes to find a parking space, but we do. Two minutes later, we're in Joe & Par's and Lou and Noah are already there. The bartender checks our Vaccine Cards (these are Covid days 2022). We sit down and give our Pals a hug. It's always great getting together, whether in times of a pandemic or not, and we're all gald to see each other. We sit down, and Lou ask us if we want some beers. "Not me," I tell him, "I'm gonna get a Negroni." Pat orders a Dewars & Water, and I ask the waiter for a Negroni. When our drinks come, we all cheer one another.

We chit-chat a bit, and our buddy JP is not there yet, and we all decide we want to order a couple things. We're all hungry. Pat ask if anyone wants some Baked Clams? Hell yeah, I tell him. How bout some Scunili? "Hell yeah," again. A few minutes later the Clams and Scungili come and they both right on the money. The Clams are nice and tasty, and the Scugili is tender and perfectly cooked in a slightly spice Fra d'Avalo Sauce. "Yumm."

DIGGIN The PIZZA

We ordered 3 different pieces : one with Pepperoni, one called a Tri Pie which is a Margherita Pizza with a little touch of Basil Pesto. Both of these Pies were damn good. I really liked the Tri Piec which Lou loves and he ordered that one, it was very good. The Pepperoni Pie was absolutley amazing. We all loved it, especially Pat and I. I think I ate about 5 or 6 pieces of it (we had 2 large Pepperoni Pies). Someone asked how we rated the Pepperoni Pie, and 3 of us gave it a 9, including me. But after I thought about it again, I gave it a 9.5, it was that good! Damn Good.

Lou also ordered the Vodka Sauce Pie, which wasn't bad, but far from being my favorite.

Overall, we had a great time, and I loved the Pizza, and gained a new found respect for Joe & Pat's, as I went there about 2 and a half years agao with my cousin Tony, and we weren't super thrilled. I wanted to get a Clam Pie, because I used to Love eating them at Lombardi's on Spring Street. We got one, and it wasn't very good (mabe better now). Then we got a couple slices of the Origianal 1960 (Pizza Margherita) and we loved it. So now, my new view on Joe & Pats 1st Ave, is that it's great, and one of the best Pizza's in New York, the city that makes the Best Pizza in the World. "Yes better than Napoli, I tell you." It's true, and many would agree. So that's that. If you want good Pizza in New York, you can't go wrong with Joe & Pat's. "Tryit."

JOE & PAT'S

Thankfully, the owners of Joe & Pat's have preserved the old storefront of the old Lanza's

Sicilian Restuarant on 1st Avenue in Downtown Manhattan. Lanza's operated for more than 100

on 1st Avenue between East 10th and 11th Streets in the Lower East Side of New York, now known

as the East Village for the past 40 years or so.

Mafia Boss Salvatore "Lucky Luciano's family immigrated from Lercara Friddi, Sicily in 1906,  young Salvatore was just 8 years old. They settled in a small apartement on East 10th Street, right around the corner from Lanza's, which Michael Lanza opened in 1904. Over the years, Luciano had many a meal at Lanza's, as well as another Sicilian Restaurant around the block, John's of East 12th Street which opened in 1908, and is still operating today (2022), and still has the original decor of tile floors, and painted murals of scenes in Italy and Sicily. No doubt "Lucky" ate many a Cannoli from DeRoberti's Sicilian Pastries, which was just two doors north of Lanza's on 1st Avenue.

New York, NY

They did a fine job preserving as much as the old Lanza's as possible.

The place looks great, and I'm happy to see the old murals and remember

man good times with my friends : JP, Jorge, Kohn O'Sullivan, Miachael,

Toem, and my ex-girlfriend Dante, Saturday lunches and dinners at Lanza's,

sadly no longer in operation, yet it has been preserved as best it now can.

Basta !

The ROLEX GMT MASTER II

$24,000

Designed to show the time in two different time zones simultaneously, the GMT-Master, launched in 1955, was originally developed as a navigation instrument for professionals crisscrossing the globe. Heir to the original model, the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II was unveiled in 1982, with a new movement ensuring ease of use. Its combination of peerless functionality, robustness and instantly recognizable esthetics has attracted a wider audience of world travelers.

WHY is The ROLEX GNT MASTER II So EXPENSIVE ?

The reason why history and relationship matter is because the Pepsi GMT is produced in very limited quantities. When you couple the demand for this watch with the limited supply, it creates lengthy waitlists and inflated pre-owned prices. Rolex authorized dealers receive very few Rolex GMT Master II w/ Pepsi Bezel. 

Retail prices for the ROLEX GMT MASTER II - Pepsi, range from $12,000 to $24,000
