How to make a good steak indoors?

If you start with ribeye cut, you can prepare it just about any way you want and it will not be tough

If Alton Brown goes missing, you should all know I have finally captured him and chained him in my kitchen.

If you're willing to loan him to me, I won't tell anyone where he is.

We broil ours in the oven. About once a week we do New York Strip steaks. They come out delicious and juicy! Never had a problem doing it that way. I'm not sure how they'd come out on an outdoor grill!

You two can have Alton Brown, I just want that steak!

Every once in a while I'd like to have a good steak at home but when I try to make one, the steak is too tough. Maybe I'm cooking it too long? I don't have an outdoor grill but I do have a small electric George Foreman grill. I like my steak medium to meduim well. I have some Grill Mates marinate seasoning packets but I need advice first. I don't want to waste steak again because I made it too tough!
Any suggestions or tips on how to make a steak on the George Foreman grill or on the stove or in the oven/broiler? What kind of steak is best?
Thanks in advance!

I sometimes use a George forman, though for steaks it doesn't work that well. My best results are either in a pan (cast iron skillet is best) or in the oven under the broiler.

Medium well is over cooked for most cuts. Ribeye should be medium rare, Strip and tenderloing should be medium at most.

Ohhhh, Hellz No! They serve mystery meat there.

That's not what the smelly guy in the barely running S-10 pick-up with the freezer in the bed of his truck who came to my door selling steaks told me...

the steaks (neigh...p-b-b-b-b) he was selling were steaks that fine establishments like Abees and Cheelees did not buy that day, so he was just out trying to get rid of them...that's what he said...what a nice guy...

Start by not buying your steaks from Japan.

Start by not buying your steaks from Japan.

But, they are halfway cooked from there.




And they also might have a nice glow to them.
