Fixing com ment spam problems How to get a good steak in Bangalore July 14, 2004 Getting a decent steak in this country isn't easy. In the north, the tabo o against beef restricts serving of beef to only the five-star hotels. T hankfully, in the south, we're not so conservative and in Bangalore espe cially, there are plenty of restaurants serving beef. But while there are plenty of restaurants serving steak, there aren't too many that serve good steak.
The beef you get in India comes in two basic forms: a) the stuff that takes 2 hours to cook and b) the stuff that coo ks in 3 minutes. Moreover, most of the mid-range restaurants in town don't know the first thing about cooking the steak right. Some typical abuses are: a) Not cooking at a high enough temperature because of which the meat "le aks" and gets very dry b) Overcooking it to death - giving you extra well done and turning it in to leather in the process c) Liberally slathering it with some gooey sauce so you can't taste any o f the meat flavour d) Totally disregarding your instructions on the doneness of the meat - g iving you well done when you ask for medium So, dear reader, given that you cannot go into a restaurant kitchen and m ake the steak yourself (or call me to do it), here are some tips for you to get the best out of your steak dining experience in Bangalore: 1 Do not get it on a damn sizzler. It splatters shit all over your clot hes and makes a mockery of cooking time. Anything you get on a sizzler is always extra well-done. This gives it the "resting" period that the kitchen hasn't given it. You'll have a better steak after that because it allows the juices to be distributed properly.
the goodness of tender steak I remember was in Kobe's in Mumbai. tried Lazzio's, Charoals, etc etc but yet to sample a good one. Forget about asking for well d one and medium well done..

Pallavi at July 14, 2004 01:53 PM Uhh this has nothing to do with the B'lore steaks. Just wanted to say that I really like your blog, your style is simple and flowing and free from all the sarcasm n self opinionated stuff going ar ound.
T his means that the moment it hits the hot pan, it should be sealed. Othe rwise, the juices escape and evaporate, giving you a chewy steak. I guess I'll have to write an entry on how to cook a proper steak now.
Nitin at July 15, 2004 01:35 PM I love a good steak, and I have never had one in India. The best ones are the "Argentian steaks" I've had in Cologne. Here, if I get something that's not stringy, I think I'd be happy. I soot he myself with some mashed potatoes most of the time. I like sizzlers, not for the meat, but the sauce, veggies and the sizzlin g hiss.
Yazad at July 15, 2004 02:36 PM Hi MadMan, The Only Place on Museum Road has some real good steaks. One more place f or decent steaks is Juke Box in Koramangala I guess.
Premshree at July 15, 2004 03:44 PM Madman, I would really like it if you do post an entry on how to cook a s teak. I've been trying to learn how for an embarrassingly long time.
