    Bring the liquid back to the boil and reduce the heat so that the milk is simmering.

    Cook this medium-sized steak for five minutes on one side, stirring the top occasionally to stop a skin forming on the milk.

    Check how well cooked your steak is. If you're after authenticity, the steak should be cooked "over hard" and so should not be pink at all.

  • Question
    Can I use fight milk when making milk steak?
    Community Answer
    You could, but be extra careful when boiling it, or else it could sour. Fight milk is very feisty.

      Tips

      • For a healthier option, try using skim or low fat milk.
        Thanks
      • For larger steaks, use a larger pan and proportionally more ingredients.
        Thanks
      • For ordinary methods and typical market grades of meat, a marinade is required to achieve tenderness on par with more expensive cuts such as ribeye or strip steak. This unusual cooking method may not need it. Tastes vary, though; marinate the meat, if desired.
        Thanks

      • If you are looking for a steak that is not sweet, make a spice rub and sear it on and then boil it.
      • Try using raw jelly beans, as they might compliment the milk steak better than cooked ones.
      • For a nice kick, add Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate mix to the milk mid-boil.
