HOW TO COOK STEAK - LIKE A CHEF!

Steps:

• Bring to room temp: Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to bring to room temperature.
• Dry steaks: Pat dry with paper towels.
• Heat skillet: Heat oil in a heavy based skillet over high heat until it is very hot - you should see smoke!
• Season: Sprinkle each side of the steak generously with salt and pepper, then immediately place in the skillet.
• Sear Side 1: Cook for 2 - 2.5 minutes until you get a great crust, then turn.
• Garlic Butter: Leave for 1 minute, then push steaks to one side and toss in butter, garlic and thyme. BE CAREFUL - the thyme will sputter!
• Baste: As soon as the butter is melted, continuously spoon the butter over the steak until it's cooked to your liking - 2 minutes in total for the 2nd side for medium rare (52C/125F, chart below for other doneness temps)
• Basting also renders fat on the side of the steak - use tongs to sear the edges at the end if you want it browned more.
• Rest: Transfer steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil, rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Serve steak with a bit of the butter from the skillet drizzled on top. Pictured in post with Crispy Smashed Potatoes.

HOW TO COOK STEAK PERFECTLY EVERY TIME

Steps:

• Remove steaks from refrigerator and any packaging and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Rub each side with the olive oil to coat. Combine the salt, pepper, and white pepper in a small bowl. Rub both sides of each steak with the rub mixture.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Preheat a heavy, oven-safe skillet over high heat until it is smoking hot. Sear steaks in the hot pan for 2-3 minutes per side. If the steak has a side of fat, turn the steak onto its side and render the fat by searing it for 2-3 minutes as well.
• Slide the skillet with the seared steaks in it into the oven to finish cooking. Remove the steaks from the oven 5 degrees before the desired level of doneness is achieved, or 130 degrees F for medium rare.
• While the steaks are cooking, use a fork to combine the butter with garlic in a small bowl.
• When the steaks are removed from the oven immediately top with 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture and allow the steaks to rest 10 minutes before cutting into them. The temperature of the steak will continue to rise as it rests by about 5 degrees.

MAKE THE MOST TENDER, FLAVORFUL STEAK RECIPE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• To make the Garlic-Herb Butter, combine all ingredients. Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap. Spoon butter mixture on wrap. Roll and shape butter into a log. Refrigerate to firm up for 30 minutes. Slice into 1/4" disks to top the grilled steaks. You can make butter up to 3 days in advance. Make sure you use unsalted butter - the steak is seasoned perfectly already. The Steak 1. Buy a good sized Choice steak. I like mine 1.25 to 1.5 inches thick. Any cut of steak: Filet, Sirloin, Rib Eye, Porterhouse, T-Bone and NY Strip - they all work. Though, please remember to get steak that you'd normally buy to grill. Don't go buying some weird cut like the cow armpit and expect it to taste just like a NY Strip. You can do this with steaks less than 1″, just really watch your timing. If your steak is already superbly marbled - cut back on your timing and your salt! The fattier (more marbled) the meat is, the faster the salt works its way through the meat. 2. Sprinkle 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of kosher/sea salt PER SIDE. Use the photos at beginning of the post as guide on how much salt. For every inch thickness of steak, let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. •Less than 1-inch steak: 30-45 minutes •1 inch thick steak: 1 hour •1.25 inch steak: 1 hour and 15 minutes If you don't have that much time - well then, add more salt, cut back the time it sits. It's all related: Thickness of meat : Amount of Salt : Time And vice-versa, if you need to stretch your time, use less salt. Example: the above steaks that are 1.25″ thick - I should salt for 1 hour 15 minutes. But if my timing works out that I'm not grilling for 2 hours - then I'll cut back on the salt and let it sit for 2 hours. If you want to salt for more than 2 hours or overnight - sprinkle the steak with 1/2 the amount of salt that I've instructed (look at photos for reference), cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. 3. Rinse all salt off on both sides, pat very dry with paper towels on both sides
