Instant help required BEEF STEAK!!

I have merinated it. I am just so worried, how to cook it. I dont have a grill pan and I want it to be fully done and really tender & juicy… any suggestions??
I dont have meat tenderizer too so dont recommend. Can I cook it in microwave? it says, Express Cook> Roast Beef or Meat Joint… can I do that?? if yes? whats the maximum time I shall follow?? :frowning:

Re: Instant help required BEEF STEAK!!

To make it more tender, you can wrap the meat in plastic wrap and then pound it with a can until it's a little thinner. Sear it in a pan, and then cook it in the oven. That way it will retain all the juices and will be tender, but will also be cooked through. Good luck!

and time for keeping it in oven??

Re: Instant help required BEEF STEAK!!

If you dont even have an oven, you can improvise by elevating a thick bottomed frying pan in someway so bottom is not touching the stove, and putting a dome type lid on top to create a dutch oven kind of setup.

It could be a microwave convection oven. We also have one. Results are not as good as your regular oven

Ok :hmmm:

Re: Instant help required BEEF STEAK!!

vekh lo..


these are not small botis… these are two big steak pieces!! :@:

Re: Instant help required BEEF STEAK!!

It's difficult to tell you how much time it should be in the oven, since it's supposed to reach a specific internal temperature so that the meat is safe to eat... but I would put it in a hot oven for at least 15 min. I've never cooked it this way though, so this is just an estimate...

Re: Instant help required BEEF STEAK!!

i always make beef stake on the grill and it goes very well, even i dont use meat tenderizer

Re: Instant help required BEEF STEAK!!

PLEASE DON’T MICROWAVE IT!!! You will ruin a lovely piece of meat if you do that. As greysanatomyfan said, pan-sear it first. Make sure you have a heavy-bottomed skillet. Pre-heat your oven to about 350 F. Make the skillet extremely hot and sear both sides of the steak (or even one) for about 2 mins - DO NOT MOVE THE STEAK AROUND. Once you have a nice good crust (you’ll be able to tell cos it’ll move around on it’s own on the skillet, no sticking), put the skillet in the oven. Now crucial part - how do you like your steak? I think steaks are such epicly awesome cuts of meat that they’re best enjoyed at medium-rare to medium only. If you’re looking for medium-rare to medium…leave it in the oven for about 5 minutes, I’d say. If you want it well-done, 7-10 minutes will do the trick. After it’s done, take it out of the oven, put a knob of butter on the steak and cover it with foil and leave it to sit for 10 minutes - VERY IMPORTANT TO LEAVE IT TO REST!!! It’ll make the steak super-juicy and good.
