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

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.

2. 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.

3. Sprinkle the steak with sea salt, pepper and any steak seasonings of choice.

4. 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.

5. 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°+

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Enjoy!
