Steaks

Hey hopefully it's ok for me to comment here.

Quick question - are you using a gas or electric stove? I'm stuck with electric, and no matter what I do my steaks never cook through enough. I always have to bake them a bit afterwards, which is a step I would love to avoid.

This is very timely for me. Even since I got my new range with an in-oven broiler I've been having a terrible time cooking steak and I've been looking for a new method!

Mm, yes. Steak. <3

My husband prefers a good sirloin because of the slightly higher fat content - the filets we've had haven't had very much marbling at all, and so they come out a bit less exciting than the one in your photo, which looks astonishing.

You shouldn't be cooking any steak past medium, in my opinion.

Preach.

I'll have to try figuring this out thanks

this is such a timely post. I am making steak tonight as well. Every website is saying use a cast iron so now I guess I have to find a cast iron pan in 5 hours!

Great write up! Spring and grilled food really goes hand in hand :)

My husband is very fickle about how food is cooked because as a young adult he managed to give himself food poisoning a few times so now he is always very cautions and over cooks meat. I solved this by having an in oven meat thermometer on our wedding registry. I can't remember the brand off the top of my head - but the goal was that I could temp the meat quickly if it was stove top, grill, or in oven. Since that our food has been much nicer (chicken less dry etc).

Oh, and your opinion is totally fact! :0)

I personally have been doing this method. So easy and sooo delicious.

Thank you for this guide! I definitely need to up my steak game and all the resources linked in this thread have already helped a ton. I have to say I am a little intimidated by the seasoning process already.

Medium rare master race for life!!!

I usually sear mine in the pan for just a few minutes on each side, then finish in the oven to reach medium rare internal temp. Unfortunately, we live in an apartment that fills with smoke SO quickly and the smoke detectors are ridiculously sensitive on top of that so I can't cook it all the way through in the pan.

Really though, nothing beats steak grilled outside. Bring on grilling season!

That looks amazing, thanks for all the tips! How juicy does it turn out when you cook it to medium? I love mine pretty rare, and my SO loves his medium so I usually try the cast iron to oven method and leave his in the oven for longer.
