QOTD: Rare, or if the steak has just come out of the fridge, medium rare so that the middle isn’t stone cold!

Pan seared to medium rare with any kind of blue cheese on top in balsalmic reduction is WAY good! I usually cook it that way rather than on the grill. Excellent episode we finally got around to watching.

Fun episode. The dessert wine with the steak sounds like a good paring. The sweet wine with the salty meat….. mmmmm. QOTD: Med rare, with salt and pepper. A nice port or red wine demi glace on the side…mmmmmmm, heaven.

Medium minus. Salt.

I’ve had semi dry and semi sweet rieslings with good meaty sausages and once I tried sauternes with lamb sausage. It did work. So, steak and late harvest sounds tempting..

Seasoned with good salt and fresh pepper, seared rare with 1 split clove of garlic and 1 sprig of rosemary to scent the meat. Something I learned from Master Chef Andrea Hellrigle of the old Palio on 51st.

enjoy!

I like rare, as long as it isn’t pork.

A 1099 is not a W2.

Medium-rare with salt and pepper. Maybe with a little olive oil. And a glass of wine.

QOTD: Medium, Medium Rare

Although, really it depends on who is cooking it.

Entrecote St. Jean, Montreal Quebec.
First, you start with a cream of leek soup. Then, a small salad of Bibb lettuce with olive oil, wine vinegar and touch of salt and pepper. Then your steak, cooked medium rare and served with pomme frites.
Profiteroles for dessert. Delicious; even better if served with a Silver Oak Cab.

medium provided it’s a nice place where they tend to make it more rare. if it’s more of an outback place ill say medium rare sometimes.

Thanks for the update on the Friday Power Tasting episode that I had to leave a comment here and NOT by email. This is my 1st time leaving a comment and I would LOVE to have that bottle of Silver Oak in my cellar. So…..here’s what I originally sent you via email (remember, it was sent on Monday 12/17/2007):

Gary:

Love the Thunder Show! I watch every night after I get home from work.

Great show today….I just bought a bottle of the 2004 Piedra Hill Purple Label. I’ll have to try it out myself to see if I agree with your tasting.

To answer today’s question for the Silver Oak prize…..I like my steak MEDIUM RARE (and preferably from Peter Luger!)

By the way….I am from PITTSBURGH…so maybe you’ll make the Steelers loss to the Jets go down a bit easier for me by sending me the Silver Oak!

I’ll be in NYC on Thursday for the Pitt/Duke BB game at the Garden. Let me know if you want to join my group for dinner at Peter Luger…we would love to have you with us!

Anyway….thanks for the great show. Keep up the good work!

Best,

Mark Exler

***ADDITIONAL COMMENT: You should have joined us at Peter Luger on Thursday…dinner was fantastic!

O.K., my steak has to be medium rare, charcoal cooked, with salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire. But, the best steak that hit this palate was char-broiled with a very thin crusty layer, almost burnt. The steak was closer to medium, but held all the juices, yes… very good.

Love the show,

PHIL
