You want to sear the outside of the steak cause thats where all the nasty stuff possibly is. I cook steak by whacking a frying or griddle pan on high heat and wait till its smoking. Take the steak season with pepper and salt if you like. Throw it into the pan cook one side for about 1 minute. flip cook the other side for a minute. your steak is done. prefably served onto a warm plate so it doesnt lose its heat. This should have seared the outside and heated the middle and should produce a rare steak. obvioulsy cook longer if you like it other ways. As for what type of steak. Filet steak is always good. Sirloin is the next best. Rump is fine if you dont want to speand lots of money. I prefer my steaks about an inch thick so you get lots of rare flesh. one day I want to try a kobe beef steak. which is supposedly the best. -- Bob Walker http://www.randomness.org.uk/ Very few things dont taste good once deep fried.
