Hello friends, do you want to learn how to cook the perfect steak? Come join me and I will debunk all the myths about cooking steaks! This is truly a video for you if you want to learn how to make the perfect steak!
You will learn 5 very important things to do.
#1 Don’t waste your time taking the steak out 20 minutes before cooking it. It accomplishes NOTHING.
#2 Do not wait until the last minute to salt your steak. Add salt at LEAST 45 minutes before cooking it! (one or two days is even better!)
#3 Get yourself a good instant-read thermometer, pushing your thumb in the palm of your hand DOES NOT WORK!
#4 Searing the steak DOES NOT seal in the juices. (its only purpose is to create a delicious crust)
#5 Be sure to let it rest for at least 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven before cutting in to it.

    WHATEVER YOU DO BE SURE TO CHECK THE TEMPERATURE USING A MEAT THERMOMETER

    • For rare take the steak out of the pan at 115 ºF.  (After resting your steak will be a perfect 125 ºF)

    2)     If the steak you are cooking is less than 1”inch thick
