How do You Cook Your Steak ?!
Answers:
Never marinade a steak, and don't give it a Ton of seasonings in the form of a dry rub.
A steak should ONLY have salt and pepper.
And cooked NO more than medium even though I think that is even a bit over done. Rare or medium rare is ideal.
Method for steak in a skillet
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and season both sides well with kosher salt
Heat oven to 375
Heat an oven proof skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of canola, safflower, grapeseed or peanut oil and heat for 1 minute.
Add the steaks and set a timer for 4 minutes. Turn the steaks over and set a timer for 3 minutes.
Move the skillet with the steaks to the hot oven and roast 5 minutes for rare, 7 minutes for medium rare and 9 minutes for medium
Use a pot holder to remove the skillet from the oven. Remove the steaks to a clean plate and top with a pat of butter or some crumbled blue cheese. Tent loosely with foil for 4 minutes before slicing and serving. Pass the pepper mill at the table.
If I can't grill it, I do it stovetop in a cast iron skillet. Basted or sauteed in real butter. Medium rare. i like a nice hot crust and red in the middle. If you happen to like extra crust on the outside of your steak, mix one teaspoon baking soda with one teaspoon salt and rub over the steak before you cook it.
Medium Rare! :)
During the winter if I do fix a steak I broil it...
In a Gary Coleman grill
Boil it
