Re: Steak Recipe/Help needed
oh forget the marinade!! i have a great recipe that i just made last week!! this will now be the way i prepare my steaks from here on out! i found this on the foodnetwork. i also sprinkled onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper before doing below... it came out AMAZING!!
And also note, i didnt use 8 tablespoons of butter... since we were having 2 steaks i scaled everything back a little...
Garlic butter steak
3 garlic cloves
Kosher salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Ample pinch of coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large (16 to 20 ounces) or 4 small (8 to 10 ounces) bone-in rib steaks or boneless rib-eye steaks
Chop the garlic finely. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon salt over the garlic and continue to chop it, occasionally smashing and smearing the garlic with the flat side of the knife, until the garlic becomes pastelike. (Alternatively, mash the garlic and salt together in a mortar and pestle.) Put the garlic paste, butter, thyme, and pepper in a small bowl. Fold the softened butter over and onto the garlic and thyme, mashing it down with the back of a spoon or spatula. Use a sheet of plastic wrap to help shape the butter into a log, wrap the log well with the plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. (The garlic butter can be made up to 3 days ahead; it can also be frozen, well wrapped, for a couple of months.)
Melt half of the garlic-butter mixture in a small pan over medium heat. (Rewrap and save the other half for future use; it's great stuff under the skin of a chicken before roasting or tossing into the broth of steamed mussels.)
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a large ovenproof saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until very hot. Season the steaks with a little salt and pepper. Add the steaks to the pan and brown them well on 1 side, about 5 minutes. Turn the steaks and brush them liberally with the garlic butter. Finish cooking the steaks in the oven, brushing them occasionally with more garlic butter, until done, about another 5 minutes. (The time will vary depending on how you like your steaks cooked and how thick they are.) Remove the steaks from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve smaller steaks whole or sliced thinly across the grain. Cut larger steaks into 2 servings or into thin slices. Spoon any remaining juices from the pan onto the meat as well.

Re: Steak Recipe/Help needed
just buy an 8 0z piece of filet mignon cut very thick. get them at the butcher- i recommend fairway.
tie twine around it to keep it together and sprinkle lots of salt and pepper on them and also olive oil.
grill for 3-4 minutes per side
finish with a pat of garlic butter metling over it as you serve it (mix 1 clove of garlic crushed with a few tablespoons of butter- let chill)
buy a nice red wine and if you dont cook, pick up some sweet potato fries or rice and some creamed spinach or garlic bread or cesar salad kit from the supermarket
