Replying to @martajane Had the BEST time hanging with my friend Claire and sharing all my tips for the perfect steak dinner at home. Recipes and tips below! 🥩 Tips for Making Great Steaks at Home: - Season and allow steaks to sit at room temperature for 30 mins to 1 hour before searing - Pat dry with paper towel before searing to absorb excess moisture - Preheat cast iron pan for at least 5-7 minutes - Use a small amount of neutral oil (like avocado oil) - Use an instant read food thermometer to monitor the internal temperature - Allow the steaks to rest 15 minutes before slicing, and slice against the grain of the meat 🌿 Herb Compound Butter - 1 stick salted butter, softened - 1 Tbsp minced parsley - 1 Tbsp minced chives - 2 large cloves garlic, grated - Salt and black pepper to taste 🥔 Goat Cheese Scalloped Potatoes - 7 Yukon gold potatoes, sliced thin - Olive oil - Salt and black pepper - 3 cloves garlic, minced - 5 oz goat cheese, crumbled - 2 cups heavy cream, half and half or milk - 3/4 cup grated pecorino or Parmigiano reggiano - 2 tsp chopped rosemary #steaks #steakdinner #scallopedpotatoes #cookwithme #homecook #easyrecipes #kitchentips #comfortfood #easydessert #chocolate #chocolaterecipe #sidedishrecipe #dinnerideas
