Cooking Steak...Casa Paco style

I had my outdoor burner set up to brown some beef ribs before I cook them down into a stew. I like to do it this way, char them really well in deep grease (yes, I use Lard!) then make a roux in the house at my leisure and add veggies and have a really swell beef stew.

Well, I happened to have a large T-bone sitting in the fridge, waiting be grilled when I remembered 30 years ago a visit to Madrid, Spain, and dining at a restaurant named Casa Paco. Famous for their steaks. They deep fry everything! Sooo, I seasoned the T-bone and dropped her into the boiling lard, turned her over a few times and, voila!, the best steak you could ever sink your teeth into. Even the wife commented on how juicy and delicious it was. The boiling lard sealed in the juices and was actually less greasy than a grilled steak on the pit.

Try it sometimes. You will like it. You don't really have any more, if not less, grease than a grilled steak. And the lard imparts a wonderful flavor. My cardiologist will never know....
 
The oil (lard) temp should be about 400*. Drop the seasoned steak (or any piece of beef) into the cauldron, turn it a few times with some tongs, and lift it out. Should be nicely browned on the outside. At this color, it will be medium rare on the inside. Leave it longer if you like it more well done. De-licious......
 
400 !! Sear'd in.
Well done!! (onna outside)!!Bill.
