Oils can come from seeds/nuts, cereals and vegetables. The one we use for most cooking is simply vegetable, corn or sunflower oil. The things like olive oil and sesame and walnut oils are mainly used for flavouring.


Of course, fats are also used in cooking - like butter or lard and any of the processed fats - and some meats are cooked in lard. A lot of it depends on your preference.What oil to cook meat in? all I can find is vegetable cooking oil?
Thomas Keller, arguably the best chef in America, uses simple canola oil for searing meat prior to roasting. It has a sufficiently high breaking point and is not costly. It is also neutral in flavor. If it is a large piece of meat requiring roasting time in the oven, I would avoid finishing with butter until late in the cooking process. The butter may burn if used too early.





There are meat fats however. Auguste Escoffier was big on using rendered ox fat for cooking french fries (pont neuf potatoes). Great color, great flavor, high breaking point and it would otherwise be waste.





Duck and goose fat fries are also seen on many restaurant menus today.
For a steak sometimes I cut a bit of the extra fat off it and cook that in the pan a bit to grease it.


If the steak has a very thick edge of fat (T bone) I like to cut some of that off and I would rather cook it and then throw it in the garbage anyway - so it goes in the pan, sizzle it up and discard.


A bit of butter is good too especially for filet mignon.





NO SUCH THING AS MEAT OIL? - what the heck is lard my friend, or tallow or suet. It is solid at room temp but melts down to oil very fast.


Do NOT boil your steak first - regardless of what the person who said he is a cook has to say.
If you have a grill or broiler you do not even need oil ...the fat in the meat will be enough to cook it OR..you can shake some salt over the surface of the frying pan and let it get hot before placing the steak in the pan. It forms a buffer between the meat and pan and prevents it from burning.





In the future have on hand olive oil it's very healthy or canola oil.





If you do lots of frying for chicken, fish or french fries, egg rolls get some peanut oil it has a higher flash point. That means it will take the higher longer temperatures. But be especially careful when deep frying you must stay right there and not turn your back on the pan.





Many times I use olive oil and butter together for saute of mushrooms and other tender veggies or meats.





I always use butter for scrambled eggs...nothing else will do.


Get the pan hot before adding the beaten eggs so it starts cooking right away stir quickly it will be done in seconds..take the pan on and off the heat so it does not burn ...as you are stirring the eggs.





There are many flavorful oils that are great for adding to salads when you get to that point buy some walnut oil, truffle oil, ..oh and if you like hot spicy foods there is Chile oil you can add to pasta dishes or fried rice dishes...I'm sure there are many more on the grocer's shelf but this is all my brain can think of this morning...happy cooking!

vegetable oil is used for cooking meat, fish and chicken and other food.don't cook the meat in butter.you can also cook the meat in olive oil which is available in all supermarkets but the meat wont be tasty. people who are on a diet usually cook in olive oil since it has less fat than vegetable oil.
There is no such thing as meat oil or an oil specified to cook meat





Butter will do fine if you are pan frying the beef. Corn, a generic vegetable mix, or any oil will do, really.





Butter cooks a steak great, as long as you are careful in pre heating the pan and when to add the beef.
Hello,


You don't need to cook meat inside any oil. You parboil the meat in the water and add some spices in it. After the boiling, you can either bleach palm oil and fry the meat with it or use the vegetable oil to fry it depends on choice. ok.
Okay, vegetable cooking oil does not mean oil for cooking vegetables in. It means it is derived from vegetables. It is perfectly suitable for cooking meat. So is Canola Oil, Sesame Oil, Olive Oil, and Peanut Oil.
I use a cheap olive oil to cook my steaks and then finish them in butter to give colour and flavour.





You can't cook the steak in butter as it burns and you don't need expensive olive oil as you want to taste the meat, not the oil.
Use olive oil. And black pepper, and sea salt and a bit of onion and when it's fried keep it warm and put half a glass of red wine in the pan, stir in all the burnt bits till they dissolve, boil this down to a couple of spoonfuls and pour over the meat.
Sounds like Olive oil is the order of the day. There are a million different types of olive oils available. Olive oil is excellent for cooking red meats under low to medium heat. But I think I would stick with canola oil for the more delicate of white meats.
YOUD BE BETTER OF GRILLING IT OR BROILING IT.





LET ME TELL YOU PUT HE STAKE IN A PAN CUT UP SOME POTATOES AND ONOINS AND ANY OTHER VEGATABLE'S AND PUT OVER THE STEAK. MAKE SURE U PUT UR SPICES FOR A BETTER TASE PUT SPICES ON VEGTABLES. PUT WATER HALF WAY AND PUT IN OVEN. AN HOUR AND U GOT A TASTEY STEAK AND SOME.
try rapeseed oil - it has more of the omega minerals than olive oil in it and can be cooked at a higher temperature





its great for cooking meat in - its also now more widely available in supermarkets
Sorry old fruit but fat is not meat oil. Just rendered fat.


Try cold pressing meat or milling meat and see what you get.


Any Oil used for cooking is from a vegetable source.



I usually use a bit of vegetable oil and a spoonful of butter .
All I ever use in all my cooking incluing cooking meat is Olive Oil. Its definitely a healthier option.
yes, all we use is vegetable oil.
