How to cook a great steak
Bruce Cole at Saute Wednesday has a quick tips on how to cook a steak. Bruce’s method is using slow and medium heat, which is a safer way to cook a good steak. The method that catches my eye is how he starts to cook the steak’s narrow side first - by standing it with tongs or something. He ensures this will render some of the beef fat:
… Now here is the part where people are going to look at you funny – start by standing the steak on it’s narrow side. That’s right, you’ll probably have to hold it up with tongs, but this step renders some of the beef fat while crisping it up at the same time. Brown all the fatty sides of the steak before laying it flat. Not only will the finished steak look more appetizing, but it’s now going to cook in its own flavorful fat, a rather perfect synthesis of meat methodology if you ask me…
I like steak and definitely I need to try it sometime!

“Brown all the fatty sides of the steak before laying it flat.”
And after that, go to a basic English language course and learn how to properly use the past tense of lie.
Or alternatively, don’t have a blog.

Err…That’s a correct useage of the word “lay”.
Merriam-Webster:
Main Entry: 1lay
Pronunciation: ‘lA
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): laid /’lAd/; lay·ing
Etymology: Middle English leyen, from Old English lecgan; akin to Old English licgan to lie — more at LIE
transitive senses
1 : to beat or strike down with force
2 a : to put or set down …
I commend you for not being extremely hypercritical though! (hypercritical is different from hypocritical before I get yelled at for that…might want to check out sarcasm too)
More on track, I will have to try this some time as well. I’ve seen it done on the food network before.

Did you mean to criticize this quote?
“Now that the steak is laying flat…”

I think people like you who believe they are superior in the human race based on their ability to spell are equal to the bully who beat your ass in high school for being a dork.
Further it is amazing to me that people like yourself spend so much time being critical of others ability to spell rather then focusing more on contributing useful and correctly spelled information related to the topic of the blog they are reading.
When someone like myself is searching for a new way to cook a great steak or searching for anything on a search engine preferably i am going to find a what i am looking for rather then your irrelevant and pampas self conceding remarks about the correct usage and spelling the word “lie” or “lye” or whatever.
Here is a more blunt way of putting this.
He may be poorly versed to some degree in his use of the English language but worse then that your irrelevant and your comments and posturing are merely another example of the sheltered, pathetic and egotistical lives that has been corroding out society with the ideals that one person is more prestigious then another..
Your not educated your stuck up and self consumed.
You might think your smart but in reality that’s only a comparison to those you choose to associate with and that’s probably not saying much because who would want to be Friends with an ass hole like you who has nothing better to do then be critical about about the English language.
Is it to say that if i am good a cleaning and you are not that i should propose that you move the fuck out of your house because you are a waste of space ?
The American system of education is not that impressive if you ask me and just because you can spell does not mean that you were taught the appropriate use of social skills and obviously your only source of confidence comes from your ability to spell.
How pathetic is that man, common ?.
I am willing to bet that given the challenge to survive on the street alone for 10 days you would lack survival skills but that does not mean that ever person who did process strong skills to survive should feel the need to take advantage of that. As a matter of fact in those situations people act the opposite and are closer to what realty matters. “living”.
Do those on the Internet and those working to create relevance in search engines a favor and dispose of your PC because like this man did not understand how to use one word correctly you seem not to be capable of using your PC correctly.
Or better yet go start a blog about spelling since your so well versed and intelligent, then maybe you could spark the interest of your readers and or find something relevant to do in your own life and with your time as opposed to polluting the Internet with garbage that is completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
“Cooking A Great Steak”
In closing let me just say that everyone has their strong points in life from survival, spelling to cooking a great steak but in the end not one of these individuals should believe even for a second that they are more viable to our society then another because this is rarely ever true.
Understand the meaning of perception & reality and you will be one step ahead of the game.
I hate people like you who cant cook steak err.
