True? Plan on trying my next day off (on Monday). Anyone else know how to get a good tender steak?
This is exactly what I do. The salt does miracles.

Re: Cooking A Good Steak

I've heard to really do it right you're supposed to sear it in a pan on crazy high heat then stick it in the oven.

yeah you can, i don't think it's really necessary unless your steaks are pretty thick though.

I've heard you're supposed to do it over lower heat with lots of butter

Re: Cooking A Good Steak

i think i might like steaks on the stove top better than on the grill. its really close though. usually i get a porterhouse or a ribeye and salt and pepper it. in the pan i start to fry a bunch of chopped garlic in a mixture of butter and olive oil. put the steak in and when it comes out its pretty awesome iyam.

Re: Cooking A Good Steak

A few simple things:

Let the steak come up to room temperature.

Use as much salt as a normal person would deem appropriate...then double it.

Let a cast iron skillet heat on a gas stove to about as hot as it can get. Sear steak for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Stick whole skillet into oven for 4-6 minutes at about 375*.

Take steak off of heat and let it sit for a few minutes before cutting into it. Eat.

Kosher salt is for suckers.

Re: Cooking A Good Steak

1) Buy good thick steaks
2) Sear
3) Put in a meat thermometer so it's easier to get consistent results
4) Cook to 145, medium rare
5) Eat
