Cooking steaks

I just found the best way (so far) to prepare steaks! It was from a video by FudeHouse, which can be found below.


Summarising the steps here:

1) Season both sides of the steak generously with sea salt and pepper.
2) Place the steak on a grill over a baking dish.
3) Preheat the oven to 140 degrees, then put the steak in for 30 to 35 minutes.
4) Take the steak out and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5) Heat up the skillet until it is very hot, then fry the steak for one minute on each side.
6) Serve immediately.




The steak turned out perfect - evenly cooked inside, and well-seared outside with a balanced tinge of smokiness. That's it - I am going to use this method to cook all my steaks from now on.

Teppei Syokudo @ Millennia Walk

Another Teppei outlet, this time in Millennia Walk.

Kaisendon, $16
Looks like Teppei still has the best barachirashi don (it's basically the same thing despite the different name. Kaisendon means seafood rice, by the way.). No other place comes close. The sashimi were all fresh and mixed perfectly with their own sauce, and when taken with a dab of fresh wasabi and some salmon roe (which bursts with flavour when bitten) it was so heavenly. The rice was also sweet and of good quality, and I finished every grain of it.

$16 for this is really a steal. To make things better, it doesn't come with service charge or GST.
