How to Cook the Perfect Steak: The Recipe

Hello There Friends, 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:

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 into it.

I hope you enjoy the video friends.

Let's start cooking those perfect steaks!

Recipe Instructions

The steak that the Chef is demonstrating is a New York strip about 16 ounces and about 1 ¾ inch thick

If your steak is more than 1” inch thick Preheat your oven to 400 ºF

Preheat your frying pan to 400 ºF with avocado oil or vegetable or peanut oil.
Sear your steak in the frying pan for about 2 minutes on each side and then transfer to the oven for about 2 more minutes on each side.
Remove from oven and finish cooking it in the frying pan.

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)
Add butter, fresh thyme, shallots and garlic and pour the melted butter on top pf the steak to finish cooking and create a beautiful crust!

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

Process the same way as above but skip the oven and continue to cook the steak in the frying pan. Making sure after 4/5 minutes to add the butter fresh thyme, shallots and garlic and baste the melted butter on top of the steak to finish cooking and create a beautiful crust!
