I have some "braising steak"...can I smother it in BBQ sauce and bake it?

Question

Whatddya think?

Answer 1

If the steak is described as "braising steak" (or "braising beef" or whatever), that means it's a tough cut, and would benefit from long, low-temperature cooking. Instead of baking it, I'd suggest a crockpot or just a large pot on top of the stove, just so long as it has a lid.

If you want to cook it in the oven, cook it in a pan that's covered in foil, or use one of those plastic "roasting bags".

In either case, you'll want to cook the meat at a fairly low temperature (if you're using the oven, don't set it above 275 degrees), and let it cook for several hours.

Answer 2

To properly cook a braising steak, use must flour, and salt and pepper the meat, then brown it in hot fat. Place it in a pan, and add 2 cups of liquid, cover and cook for 1 hour or more. Then open pan and pour in sauce. Continue to cook for 1 more hour allowing the liquid to cook away, and the result will be delicious.

Answer 3

You can. I would add some onions and bit of liquid like beer - but rather than use the oven, you may like the effect of putting them in the slow cooker better - they will fall apart and be like pulled BBQ for sandwiches

Answer 4

Yes, but don't turn the heat up too high or the high sugar content in BBQ sauce will burn and blacken on you.

Answer 5

yes
