Title: Solid reference book - great recipes
Review: This book offers a "bare-bones" approach to cooking steak, accompanied by a great selection of recipes. The basic information about steak along with the cooking techniques and recipes are as helpful for aspiring cooks as they are for experienced cooks who like to try new methods (Deep Fried Boneless Rib Eye, anyone?) as well as return to some tried-and-true basics (Steak Diane, yes please!).It's a bit of a down-sized cookbook in comparison to the glossy-paged, picture-filled books with hundreds of recipes that seem to pop up every other day. In fact, when I first got the book, I was a bit dismayed by the few photos and even fewer drawings it had. But then I realized how really unnecessary those are in a book about steak since, after all, most people basically know what it looks like, with or without grill marks.The most important thing in a cookbook, after all, is the quality of the recipes and these, so far, have been wonderful.Here's what you'll find in the book, starting at the beginning (and ending with the recipes I've tried out):~ Steak Know-How - understanding what steak is and where it comes from.~ Shop, Prep, and Store - what those butcher terms mean, what equipment to have, what to have on hand in the pantry, a doneness chart, how to store, and how to reheat steak.~ Next comes basic steak cooking techniques, each with a "Now You Try" recipe to try out each technique, from grilling to sous vide and ending with Steak Tartare. (If you confuse the Maillard reaction with caramelization, as I often do, you will learn the difference between the two in this chapter!)~ The recipe section, with pages clearly edged in yellow, follows with three sections - Premium Steaks, Butcher Steaks, Other Steaks (where tofu and ahi tuna steaks, among others, can be found), and finally finishing with Sides & Sauces.The recipes I've tried so far are wonderful: ~~ Black and Blue Grilled Steak Salad. Every bite of this is a delicious umami bomb and it quickly became a favorite at my house. I stove-top grill the steak and can only imagine that a charcoal-grilled one would be one step better. ~~ Steak Diane. It's a classic steak preparation and for good reason. I made it for Valentine's Day and it was amazing!! ~~ Marinated Flank Steak. This marinade was as good as any I've ever tried. Really delicious.I'm looking forward to trying out many more. The Grilled Lamb Chops with Spicy Sesame-Peanut Sauce is next! I'm enjoying this book quite a lot.

Title: Solid Primer on How to Properly Prepare and Cook Steaks
Review: Steak is not something I cook too often, mainly because of my own cost-to-failure ratio in previous attempts. I was hopeful to get some good guidance on cooking steak from this book, and so far I have not been disappointed. It is not an all-encompassing book that hits every possible scenario but it is a good guide and recipe collection for people with some kitchen skills to get better at cooking a good steak.Thereâs more to cooking steak than just tossing a sirloin on a grill or frying it on a stove top. There are several different cuts of steak, different cooking methods and different levels of doneness. There are also a lot of different sides to go with a steak. This book gives decent coverage to all of those, and more.The book starts with a solid introduction to the various cuts of steak, describing where they come from, how they compare price-wise, and the best ways to prepare them. Much of this is common knowledge, but it is nice to have it collected together in one place and easily accessible. From there, there is coverage of the different grades of meats (Prime, Choice, Select), how to shop for and store steak, doneness charts and other useful information.There is a fairly wide range of recipes in this book, covering numerous cuts and cooking methods. Of course, there are a bunch or grill and stove top recipes. However, there are other cooking methods in this book too and I was particularly pleased to see that the sous vide method is represented (though thereâs only one recipe that serves as a good example for how to do it). What surprised me was finding a recipe for deep-fried steak as well, and thereâs even a tartare recipe (though thatâs not my cup of tea).While this book primarily covers steak, it does offer a good chapter on side dishes to go with steak as well as sauces.This is a good resource if you want to cook steak and get it right, whether youâre cooking it in the oven, on the grill, in a fat fryer, or in a water bath. It covers numerous cut of steak and includes a section for sides and sauces. This is a solid resource for those who love steak and want to get it right in their own kitchens.
