I love steak and rice! Especially when all the delicious meat juice soaks into the rice

It's so good

Steak looks incredible. I saw it’s only your first couple times cooking one. Excellent job.

Thanks. It really feels nice to know I can make food that appeals to others

How did you cook it?
3
Simple yet effective.
10
I just ate and now I am hungry again
9
Good
7
But I don’t want to cook, especially after making that Jello pudding
2
I mean. You could always just have cereal
6
To much risk on that
1
Now that’s a damn steak
8
This is one of my most favorite compliments
7
I see a lot of people serving steak over plain rice and I don't get it. I love steak with sauce and rice but I feel just plain boiled rice is very dry and wouldn't complement the steak so well.
6
If rice is done well it’s not dry! And the steak juices mix with the rice so nicely. Give it a shot
9
I get that. I'm not a fan of bland rice either. That's why if it's meant to be a main part, I add salt. And to be fair, I didn't boil it

A few cheap ways I make my rice tasty, if you ever want to try. Add diced tomatoes from a can, Italian herbs(just get a cheap shaker of them) and salt.
Put some cumin in with the salt. Or experiment with other spices. Spices are cheap and can change the fragrance and flavour greatly.
Use some kind of broth or stock instead of salted water.
Fry garlic and onion in the pot first then add rice and water.
And more than anything, I find these methods work best using the absorption method, if you want to google it. Unless you have a rice cooker of course.
There's plenty more ideas and variations out there but it can take a simple, cheap dish up a few notches.

Eat rice with most meals. Cook it with salt, and I often add a bayleaf or coriander seed to the rice when I start to cook it for extra flavor. Can mount it with butter after it cooks as well. Rice is great!
2
Maybe it’s a cultural thing. Sometimes I literally just want plain rice as a snack, any topping are a bonus! It’s never dry though
2
Have you tried short or medium grain rice? It's tastes less dry than long rice or jasmine rice.

I usually have basmati rice if I’m having rice. I love rice in Asian or Mexican food but I do find it needs spicing up a bit. Same as I would eat that steak over a bowl of pasta with no sauce on it I suppose.
1
That looks good. I should probably try that at some point.
4
I'd encourage that you do. I had never cooked nor eaten a tenderloin. That being said, it was pretty simple. I believe in you
5
No sauce?
3†
No, but maybe next time
5
Could make a quick sauce next time using the oil/fond in the pan. Add some minced ginger/garlic, cook for 30s, then deglaze with a bit of vinegar/water, add some soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and a little cornflour. Then just cook til the sauce thickens and pour it over.

That actually does sound pretty good. Thank you.
6
So simple yet looks so good!! I want to learn how to cook stake like this.

I just loosely followed the short video by ThatDudeCanCook on filet mignon. Hope that helps and good luck!
5
Oh cool thanks! Ima look into this video.
1
Omg that looks good I’m gonna make this for myself now 🤣
2
Hell yeah! Hope it's scrumdiddlyumptious!

What kind of rice and how did you cook it? Steak looks great. I would definitely eat it with rice, but I didn't know if anyone else did.
1†
Jasmine rice and an instant pot. I added a bit of salt too
5
Very nice!

😍😍 now that looks tasty
1
Oooooo that looks like jasmine rice, I hope they ended up going well together!
1
They did!
2
Heck yeah! I'm glad to hear it :)
2
With a couple flakes of maldon salt

I unfortunately don't have any variety of flakey salt
1
Get it!!

🤩 beatutiful. Honestly rice with any protein is the perfect meal for me.

What cut was it?
1
Tenderloin

Very nice. Steak and rice is a great combo. Especially when the rice is well seasoned

Yum!

That steak is cooked really well!

LOL you got an upvote from me.
In what world is that medium
[deleted]
Medium rare, yes. All the downvotes tell me reddit doesn’t know the difference. It’s perfectly cooked, don’t get me wrong. But way too much red to be medium
I mean, it is medium rare, so yes.
Thank you! Believe it or not, it was my second time ever cooking steak.
Wow! Fantastic job!!
It definitely came out better. Though I have had a few years to improve
Well keep it up! That's a great looking steak!
Nicely done! What method you use?
Idk what the name would be, but I kinda just used the filet mignon video by ThatDudeCanCook as guidelines
Well surely you know if you did it on a grill oven or a pan. You don't need a name for what you did just tell us what you did.
Nice! It looks perfect!
