How To Cook Steak
Kitchen Gadgets For The Perfect Steak
Cast Iron Skillet
Thermometer (I use a ThermoWorks Themapen)
INGREDIENTS
Steak of choice (I love this method with filet mignon and kobe skirt steaks)
Salt and pepper
Steak Seasoning of choice (optional)
1 tbsp grassfed butter
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1.4 tsp onion powder
Garlic salt
DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
Place a cast iron skillet over high heat. While the cast iron is heating up, sprinkle the pan with sea salt and a tsp of oil.
Sprinkle the steak with sea salt, pepper and any steak seasonings of choice.
Once the cast iron is done preheating, place the steaks on the pan for 2 1/2 minutes per side, then grab the cast iron (don’t forget the pot holder!!!) and place in the oven.
Depending on the thickness of your steak, cook for 4-7 minutes. This is where the Therapen comes in handy! Based on the temperatures below, you want to bake in the oven at 450° until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
RARE: 120°
MEDIUM RARE: 130°
MEDIUM: 140°
MEDIUM WELL: 150°
WELL DONE: 160°+
I personally prefer a Rare/medium rare steak so I check my steak around 4-5 minutes and remove from the oven when it reaches 120. A thicker steak will require longer cooking times.
Remove the steak from the oven and set on plate to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into it. If you are using garlic butter, add 1 tsp to the top of each steak while they are resting.
Enjoy!
