Does your steak taste similar to cardboard by any chance?

Tastes like good meat and smoky things. Your steak must suck if it tastes like cardboard. No wonder with all the 'erbs

smokey things, you mean browning or a sear; or do you grill? is it juicy, when you cook it medium and don't let it rest?

I consider cooking a craft that I like to be pretty good at but only for an audience. If it's just me its Trader Joe's microwave stuff or whatever's around. I don't eat much. Sometimes I'll make myself a little something fancy. Ya know what I make for my wife on request? Scrambled eggs. Mine are the best. I separate the yolks, whip the shit out of the whites into a froth and put the yolks back in then non-stick with a tablespoon of butter. Mess 'em up with a plastic spatula. Light and fluffy scrambled eggs easy peasy. Try it. You'll like it. It makes a difference

as long as you don't overcook it medium then more power to you, but if you eat over cooked steak then no no not good.

Medium rare. Too much cooking rapes the flavour and I like the consistency of medium rare.

Yes it is. Try my method. It isn't difficult. It's a tiny bit more work. Give it a shot

nice fluffy egg whites eh. that's usually how i do my quick scrambled eggs with my spatula just the same, but i ain't ever separated the yolks beforehand and whipped the whites; then you say you break it up (the yolks) in the pan as it you put it in to cook. so it all 'congeals' together.

well, on the grill it's not necessary to add butter.
that's for pan frying, as per what we were talking about in the beginning of the thread.
you need to because the surface area and slower less direct cooking on the pan will overcook your steak, if you want to get a proper sear and caramelization, you have to keep the steak moist, and as an added bonus you get savoury buttery taste and feel to the steak, plus butter is accentuated by pretty much anything, so herbs are perfect for this style.
your way is perfectly fine, but i don't think you understand the capacity this extra three minutes of work is, to prepare for a pan fry, when you have the whim to do it. and it's easy.
it's not complicated.

No. After you froth the whites you add the yolks to the mixing bowl and mix them back in until it is a uniform color. Then you dump them in the pan and follow the usual procedure. Try it. Easy peasy. Next time I make 'em I'm gonna throw some basil in. We got some growing on the deck. Nice call.

I obviously missed something or didn't read very well. I never pan fry steaks. As far as I'm concerned steaks and pans go together like dicks and knives, which I suppose to some people is the preferred method. I wouldn't even buy a steak if I didn't have a grill.

Interesting idea. I'll take that under advisement but sour cream isn't something we generally keep in our larder. Probably been years.

If all you have is a pan do you give up on steak? I have made some pretty good pan fried steak. It is my last choice but if all you got is a pan fuck it, it's still a steak and you can make it taste damn good.

Personally I love steak with guiness bullseye cooked over charcoal. Not a whole lot of guiness. Just a nice thin coating thats had the ever living fuck caramalized out of it. Throw some onions on there and oh man. Beats the shit out of salt and pepper. I aint no purist about steak. Its flavour has the potential to be enhanced just like any other meat.
