Steak Master - Your steak companion    

Preparing the perfect steak sure isn’t easy and needs a lot of experience, which not all of you have. The effects could be serious – you want the steak medium but it’s still dripping blood. Or your anticipated rare steak is overdone and tough as leather.

But, it doesn’t have to be that way. The Steak Master is easy to use and will help you cook your steaks just as you like them every time.

The perfect preparation of steaks with the Steak Master is simple:

1. First, you determine the type of temperature scale on your oven’s temperature control knob by tapping on the configuration button. That is important, because the Steak Master needs this information in order to give you the correct oven temperature later on. You only have to do this once per oven.

2. Decide if you want to use just a frying pan or both frying pan and oven (the professional way). Using only the frying pan is much quicker than the use of frying pan and oven. The meat never leaves the pan until it’s done, whereas the slightly longer expert’s way requires both frying pan and oven, but results in perfectly juicy steaks.  

3. Most important: The thickness of the steak and how you would like to have your steak . The Steak Master helps you to define both. Just tap on the pictures or the controller under the pictures and select how well done you would like to have your steak. Then tap on „Thickness of steak“, hold the steak sideways next to your iPhone/iPod and measure its thickness with your index finger.

4. Here we go! The Steak Master guides you step by step through the menu, tells you what you need and shows you what to do in chronological order. For example how much you have to heat up the butter/oil in your frying pan.

5. When your butter/oil is slightly bubbling it’s time to sear the steak. The Steak Master counts down the time before you have to turn over the steak.

6. After searing your meat you just follow the instructions the Steak Master is giving you. Did you choose the cooking with the frying pan, reduce the heat to the temperature the Steak Master states on the display and simply finish the cooking in the pan. How long you have to cook and how often you have to turn the meat – the Steak Master-App has got the answer! A small treat are the Steak-Spy and the Steak-O-Meter:  they show you the condition and the progress of the steak during the cooking phase until it‘s finished. Then take the meat out of the pan, wrap it up with tin foil and let it rest. How long? The Steak Master tells you automatically.

7. If you decided to use a frying pan and the oven it’s the same method, only that you have to follow the additional instructions of the Steak-Master-App for the use of the oven. Either way you choose – the result is a perfectly cooked steak and a great meal. Enjoy!

Highlights

- The Steak-Master calculates from the thickness of the steak and the chosen steak result (e.g. rare or medium) exactly to the second the time the steak needs to cook.

- The formula is based on hundreds of tests by experienced steak experts.

- Fool-proof preparation: simply determine thickness of the steak, the way you would like to have the steak done and follow the illustrated instructions of the App step by step.

- The Steak Spy shows you the inside of the steak during the cooking progress.

### 3/5 — iPhone 17 Problem

*2026-06-15*

Leider hängt die App wenn man über den Backofen geht. Ab der Alufolie geht nichts mehr bei mir

### 5/5 — Perfect steak

*2025-04-30, version 1.8.3*

I’ve been using for years, her perfect steak with no probes etc

### 4/5 — Bitte Pause einführen!

*2023-12-25*

Die App ist toll, funktioniert auch ziemlich gut, die Steaks werden perfekt! Aber ich vermisse auch eine Pause 1. zum Wenden und 2. zum Einpacken in Alufolie. 
Meine App klingelt leider nicht. Vielleicht ist das ein Bedienungsfehler. Ich werde nochmal recherchieren.

### 1/5 — Not even close.

*2022-05-03, version 1.8.3*

Doesn’t work. Depends on different factors obviously but don’t ruin a good steak with this app. Ended up getting my husband to cook it instead. The app doesn’t beat the man unfortunately

### 3/5 — Timer stoppt

*2021-03-16*

Super aufgebaut und auch das mit den Zeiten könnte passen.
Wenn ich allerdings die App in den Hintergrund schiebe bleibt der Timer stehen echt schade

### 4/5 — Noch Zeitgemäß?

*2020-05-17*

Mit der App sind mir die Steaks immer gut gelungen. Es sollte jedoch eine Alternative für die Verwendung von Alufolie geben.

### 3/5 — Tolle App, läuft aber leider nicht im Hintergrund

*2020-05-03*

Die Steaks werden wirklich super, leider hält die Zeit an, wenn das Handy nicht benutzt wird und in den Bildschirmschoner geht, oder man einfach etwas anderes am Handy tut. 
Perfekt, aber nur mit durchgängig offener App

### 2/5 — Leider nichts Halbes und nichts Ganzes

*2020-02-01*

Das Design und die Oberfläche ist übersichtlich und sinnig gestaltet. Die Einstellung der Fleischdicke und des Gargrades sind super gemacht. Jedoch kann man leider zwischen den Phasen sind pausieren, Dh. Man hat 0 Sekunden dafür das Fleiscj einzupacken und in den Ofen zu packen. Sehr schade. Außerdem stimmen die Zeitangaben bei mir überhaupt nicht, ein Medium Steak ist nahezu roh und ein weil-Done Steak ist Medium.

Sehr schade.

### 3/5 — Gut aber nicht optimal

*2020-01-02*

Die App ist gut, das geht wird gut aber man muss aufpassen wenn man die App im Hintergrund laufen lässt, da der Timer dann leider nicht mehr sauber arbeitet und nach 30 Minuten bereits ca 10 Minuten mehr anzeigt als ein anderer Timer. Somit muss man die App dauerhaft offen haben und das iPhone nicht gesperrt.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2019-06-19, version 1.8.3*
