What cut of beef did you use? I used Sirloin for this, and it should come out fork tender. This unfortunately isn't the best method for cheaper cuts. I guess it also depends on the amount of liquid you add or evaporates during cooking. I don't add a lot of water but I made sure my packets were really tightly closed. If the steaks get too dry then they will get hard rather than tender. I hope this helps! Lauren Hi Mike,

Must have went wrong somewhere but can't see where. Followed your instructions to the letter but unfortunatley the steaks turned out tougher than a pair of flip flops.

However I am sure this will not make to much difference, it should still be great! I think in this case the pan fry is just to brown it, and perhaps to give it a tad more flavour.

Used Weber Chigaco steak spice both sides. Painted canola oil on both sides. Used cast iron grill pan on electric burner on high. Did 1 minute then turned 90 degrees to get the cross hatch effect then turned over and repeated. Then I followed recipe with onion, mushrooms, dijon and worcestershire sauce. No water used a bit more worch. Served with heated up onion rings (not home-made) and a baked potato. Excellent and thanks for the idea. Usually grill outside but was cold and I wanted to stay warm. Hope I am not kicked out of the club! Ha ha. A grill pan has raised edges about every inch and is not good for much else but they are around $30.00 for a good one and you will use it if you are in a cold climate!

It's different but so good, really worth a go. Kristi, I love that fact too, it's much better than frying the steak in that regard. Janice, you really should try it!
