I posted an article about steak the other day. Many people ask me privately what kind of oil is appropriate for cooking steak at home? In fact, this is a common problem, and a lot of people respond by using butter. After all, steak is a western dish. Butter seems to go well with the side, but in fact, many chefs do not recommend using butter to cook steak. I believe that people who often fry their own steak will also know that fried steak in butter, the taste is not so beautiful.

Let's start with why butter is not recommended. The boiling point of butter is very low and greasy, so it is difficult to grasp the dosage. The fried steak is not only greasy, but also full of butter flavor, which completely covers up the mellow flavor of the steak itself. So, even though it has a strong buttery aroma, it's not a good place to cook a steak.

If butter won't do, what oil will? My experience tells you that.

1, if everyone on the steak is high grade fat all over the body marbling, so, you do not need to use any other oil, directly put the steak frying good, because this steak, a frying out of oil, this is the steak practice. What if you have a low-grade steak on hand? It doesn't matter, if it's a sirloin steak, you cut off the edges, you put the edges in the pan, you fry the butter, you take the edges out, and then you fry the steak. This is the original steak.

2. If you're having a fat-free filet mignon, fry it in peanut oil. Peanut oil has a sweet, moist smell and is very good for frying steaks. When we cook steak in my house, we usually use peanut oil. The first use of butter, olive oil has also been used, but by comparison, or with peanut oil fried incense, this point, has also been recognized by the family.

Olive oil. If peanut oil isn't your thing, cook your steak in olive oil! Olive oil is very refreshing, fried out of the steak is fresh and not sticky, suitable for light diet people eat. But there is a point, because olive oil is not suitable for high temperature cooking, so, using it to fry steak, is bound to affect its nutrition, can not be both.

Suitable for frying steak is the above several oil, other such as salad oil, suitable for raw or stir-fry, not suitable for frying steak oh! You can choose the above oil according to the taste. So, when you get your steak, look at the grade first. If it has a lot of butter in it, don't use any fat. If it's lean, choose one from peanut oil or olive oil.
