Help- Need a Strip Steak recipe

Unknown
edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
I need a good Strip Steak recipe, I checked out trex's and I am thinking about doing that one but I wanted to get some more ideas. I need cooking times and temps. I was planning on seasoning it with some sea salt and pepper but I am definitely open to suggestions. I even thought about melting down some butter and making a butter/garlic/worcheshire/seasoning marinade and let it sit overnight. Thanks!!!

    If you want something different. Marinade in Wishbone Robust Italian Dressing overnight.
    Trex, no salt and pepper.[p]Mike

  • I am planning on trex'n some strips tomorrow night for dinner. I am going to trex them a la Mshark's coffee-crusted steaks. Equal parts espresso, turbinado sugar, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. Adjust to taste. I tried these at the okie eggfest and they were delish!!

    Matty in the STL,
    Instead of the marinade, maybe a little smoke would get you that extra uummph you are lookin for?[p]Rub that steak up good with your sea salt and pepper deal. Maybe a good coat of olive oil first if ya want. Wrap it in saran wrap and stick it in the freezer until it just starts to firm up on the outside...maybe a half hour while you get your egg smokin (I am diggin red oak on beef these days). Get that thick tan nasty smoke cleared up til it's nice an blue and thin and about 225 or 250. Throw them NY Strippers on there for 15 or a half hour to get some smoke and pull em off before they start cookin.[p]Then TRex 'em up.[p]I haven't tried it, but been wanting to try skipping the freezer step and just smoking the steak at 275 until it is 120 internal, then searing it at the end for flavor, and to finish off the cook. That would give you some good smoke too, and I heard it works well.[p]Have fun, and let us know what you end up doing!

    Matty in the STL,
    If your goal is to match or surpass the New York strips from your favorite steak house then here's the secret - buy good aged beef from a reputable butcher shop. Skip the grocery chains even those claiming to sell aged beef. I gladly pay $14.99 a pound here when Kroger or Schnucks sell aged Angus at 8.99 or 9.99 a pound. Trust me - and you'll kick the WOW factor to triple digits!!! Otherwise I do a reverse T-Rex and just use kosher salt after misting the strips with bottled water in a Misto.

  • Matty in the STL,
    I don't remember who posted it, but I tried a recipe from here that was very good. Whoever it was did this on veal chops. [p]Take a package of dried portobello mushrooms and grid them into powder in a food processor. I ended up with maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup. Add 1 tsp or so of dried mustard powder and about the same amount of garlic powder. Coat your steaks with olive oil and apply this dry stuff liberally. Start your fire and give it about 30 minutes or so to marry up a little. I didn't do a Trex because these steaks were a little thin; I cooked them at 500 instead flipping once. Remember to salt and pepper when they come off...very good.
