Steak and mash are friends!

in #life6 years ago (edited)

99 times out of 100 I would make steak on the green egg.

I like the process better. It's more relaxing.

Also taste wise nothing can beat BBQ in my opinion!

But tonight they forecasted a lot of rain and it was just me. (Bianca is in The Hague).

I decided to go for a pan fry.

It's a completely different taste compared to bbq but you can do do some fun stuff like basting the steak in butter.

Let's cook!

When it's just me I usually don't bother peeling potatoes to much. These potatoes had those things on them that grow when you leave em to long. I cut those off but left the rest. I like the peel (although it's a sin in mash I guess!).

This is the steak. It's ribeye and it looks wrinkled. That's because I defrosted it in water. I had no time to do it properly. It doesn't effect the taste as far as I know. After you dry it and let it sit for a while it returns to normal.

I put the pan on medium heat and added a little oil. This steak was pretty thick so I didn't want to blast it from the start. It will get too crispy and not cook in the centre.

I added the potatoes to boil. I use a pressure cooker. Takes about 8 minutes.

After about 5 minutes I added some butter to the pan. (double from what you see here).

You can use the butter to baste the steak from time to time. You can't so this in a green egg that easily!

When the internal temp reached 47-50c I took the steak out of the pan. I let it rest for 5 minutes so the juices could settle (If you cut it straight away they will just pour out onto the board.)

I mashed the potatoes with some milk, butter and salt. Nothing special really! I added the steak next to it.

End result! Pretty good result as far as I'm concerned! I was a happy man tonight . Steak and mash just works! But it never did rain!

A wonderful result, my friend and although this time your green egg rests, the steak in the frying pan turned out well for you! I'm always pleased to see how you cook meat, in any form, since I'm also a big fan of eating meat and this steak with the addition of mashed potatoes is also very mouth-watering and sure that the taste is unmatched!
