Oven Cooked Steak
Tender and juicy oven cooked steak. One bite and you’ll never cook it any other way.
Four months into the FAILSAFE diet and one of my biggest struggles has been with cooking beef. It seems to give me the most trouble out of any protein source, leaving me with minor side pains and itching after I eat it.
I couldn’t figure out what the problem was, since I can handle ground beef without issue — something that most people on a FAILSAFE diet struggle with because of the extra processing and histamine production. It wasn’t until I had a bad reaction after eating a stir fried beef dish that I began to put two and two together.
When I make ground beef, I usually cook it at lower temperatures or in the oven. When I make steak, I tend to stir fry it at higher temperatures or broil it over high heat. Why does that matter? Because amines (specifically heterocyclic amines) increase when cooking meat at high temperatures (think pan searing or broiling) or slowly over long period of time (think roasting and slow cooking). Since I was cooking steaks on the stove or in the oven at higher temperatures, I was inadvertently creating an amine bomb for myself.
DANGIT.
So now I try to cook all of my beef over medium to low heat or in the oven and keep it under 400°F/200°C. No more amine bombs and no more reactions! Plus, our oven cooked steak is so tender and juicy that I’ll never go back to cooking steaks any other way.
