Well-done Beef Steak

I know that most people eat medium-rare to medium-well beef steak, but I like to eat well-done or at least medium-well one. It is not easy to find a well done recipe. I found 4 possible ones. The first one starts with higher temp (400 oF (204 oC)) for 20 min, then lower temp (325 oF (163 oC)) for >= 1 hour. The second one suggests to gradually increase temp to 300 oF (149 oC) for total 90-110 min. The third one suggests 250 oF (121 oC) for 3-3.5 hours. The fourth one suggest 370 oF (188 oC) for 2 hours.

Dec 27, 2010: We are trying the first one, but only cure beef meat in our ingredients for 2 hours before oven baked. The ingredients we used are soy sauce + wine + mixed herbs + honey + black pepper. We put the beef meat in aluminum foil, add 5-6 TBSP ingredient mixture, wrapped it, then 400 oF (204 oC) 20 min and 325 oF (162 oC) 1 hour. Yes, it is well done. We think it tastes good and juicy, but it is still a little bit dry for the part without any fat.

Rare 一兩成熟
Medium Rare 三四成熟
Medium 五成熟
Medium Well 七八成熟
Well done全熟

1. 台塑牛排 (2007/02/14 15:26)

材料:買長條肋排,加紅酒、醬油與蕃茄醬醃兩天。
作法:用錫箔紙全部包裹密實,置入烤箱中,400度烤20分鐘,再開325度烤一小時以上。
小叮嚀:醃肉功夫要足,否則不入味,喜歡吃原味者可不加番茄醬,烤肉盤底可放切塊的柳丁、橘子,讓底層肉有烤的空間,並增加風味。

2. 正宗台塑牛排做法大公開 全熟牛排汁多肉嫩

楊國初說,要製作出正統的台塑牛排,從挑選牛的品種,到最後烘烤都馬虎不得,在牛隻的選擇上,基本上他都採用美國黑牛,在製作上,一開始須要將多餘的油脂削除,再浸泡在由大蒜、胡椒、醬油與獨家醬料所的醬汁中冷藏48小時,接著送入烤箱進行烘烤,並在烘烤時定時淋上醬汁,避免牛肉過老肉質過硬。
在烤箱的溫度控制上,也需依照傳統循序漸進加溫,最後將溫度加溫至近300度,將肉汁封鎖在肉中,至於在烘烤的時間上,也要依照肉的品種而有不同,以美國帶骨牛小來來說,需烘烤1小時30分,而美國無骨牛小排則需70分鐘,另外若是紐西蘭帶骨牛小排就要花上1小時50分來烘烤,才會熟透但不老。
在肉質上,無骨美國牛小排不帶骨、不帶筋,有油花,肉質Q嫩可口,品質維持佳,每一塊牛排之品質都一樣,而紐西蘭牛小排則帶骨,纖維較同等級的美國牛粗,帶筋有咬勁,低脂且口感多變。

3. 我的台塑牛排初嘗試
材料: 牛仔骨(需向中國超市預先order,請肉販不要橫切,順骨切,厚度約10cm)
醃料:
(1). 紅酒(Dry,一瓶10 元以下即可)
(2). 醬油(用台灣產的,介於老抽與生抽之間,顏色會比較漂亮)
(3). 大蒜(若要蒜味重些,可剁碎,很重要可多加些)
(4). 黑胡椒粉(很重要可多加些)
(5). 吃辣者可加花椒及辣椒
(6). 糖
以上所列之醃料均未標示數量,請自行衡量,但需注意紅酒與醬油比例為1:1

做法: 1. 將牛仔骨浸泡於醃料中約5 分鐘即可放於烤盤,並把醃料倒在牛仔骨上
2. 烤箱預熱250℉,約烤3~3.5 小時(每隔半小時要翻面淋汁)即可

左看看、又看看,總覺得這樣的配方單調了點,似乎少了點什麼,所以我加了點大蒜粉、洋蔥粉、五香粉、白胡椒粉,花椒也磨了一些,糖的部分,我用冰糖與麥芽糖取代,醬油與紅酒各一杯,先將醬油與冰糖、麥芽糖先小火煮至冰糖融化,加入粉類調味料及現磨花椒,熄火待涼後,加入紅酒,進行牛小排的醃製,食譜說是五分鐘,可是我看電視看過頭,醃了將近30分鐘....

食後感想:好像有點小鹹,我醬油跟生抽的比例需要調整一下,另外我覺得下次加一點甘草跟味霖,讓醬油+味霖跟紅酒比例呈現1:1 應該會不錯,

5. Nice juicy steak recipes please
I don't often eat steak, and will only eat it if I cook it...I am so fussy with cooking steak, I don't like it burnt, it must be well done, juicy/tender with lots of flavour...don't ask much hey? LOL

My method isn't the everyday, usual way to cook it, but I love it & it tastes good to me LOL

I get a large peice of alfoil, large enough now to wrap the steak in like a pocket.

The fillings etc are to your taste likings, experiment a little :)

I spread some garlic herb butter on both sides of the steak & put in centre of alfoil.

Then I top it up with thin sliced, zucchini, onion, tomato etc...add some salt, pepper, chilli etc whatever you fancy :)

Then fold the alfoil up over steak & toppings leave a little room & fold down etc so it is in a loose pocket of alfoil. It's usually a good idea to make it all on the baking tray :)

I put mine in the oven for about 40 or so mins (thickness depending of steak), it cooks in the flavours of the toppings, herbs etc & its own steak juices...so mouth watering & tender unless you over cook it. This is for well done and a steak thickness about 1-1.5cm, in an oven on 180C (non fan).
