The tips and tricks to making the PERFECT steak every time 🥩🔥 Cooking a perfect steak is definitely a tall order, but with the proper technique it is a lot easier than you think. Tips & tricks: 🔪 Start with a thick cut steak, especially if you like your steak medium rare. This will give you a buffer to ensure you don’t over cook the steak…steak cooks quicker than you think. 🔪 Season the steak generously with salt and pepper from high above — this will make sure you get an even coating of salt — and allow the steak to come to room temperature before cooking. 🔪Get your pan VERY HOT. Once the pan is hot, add a touch of neutral oil and then add the steak. You’re looking for a fast,hard sear to lock in the juices — NOT to cook it all the way though (depending on the thickness!) Start with the fat cap, then sear one side and after its golden brown, flip and immediately baste! 🔪 Add in aromatics (garlic, rosemary, thyme etc.) after flipping, along with butter as you baste. This will infuse a wonderful subtle flavor. 🔪Finish cooking the steak in the oven. I like it at 375 F, typically for around 5-7 minutes for a 2 inch steak. Once you reach an internal temp of 130 (for medium rare) pull it out and allow it REST! The allows the juices to set (instead of drain out) and brings the steak to the proper temp. . . . #steakrecipe #perfectsteak #culinaryschool #learntocook
