G'day all,
I just wanted to share this little gem of a technique for cooking steak perfectly:
"Cook Your Meat in a Cooler" (also, here's a video of someone trying it)
The basic ideas is that you cook your steak exactly the same way you mash your grains.
Bring your "strike" water up to the cooking temp (eg: 51C for rare). Throw your steak (and any herbs and spices) into a zip lock back. Remove as much of the air from the bag as possible and dump it in an esky for an hour. You may also need to weight the bag down with something. If there's any air in the bag, it'll cause it to float and not cook properly.
After an hour it should be cooked perfectly from edge to egde. All you do now is fire up the BBQ or fry pan and cook the steak for no longer than a minute on each side, just enough to give it a bit of charring and extra tastiness.
I'll be adding a small esky and a couple of t-bones to the shopping list this week to give this ago. I'll report back how it turns out.
Cheers
Brad
