Cooking steak doesn’t have to be intimidating!
Just follow these easy steps!
- Defrost steak overnight in the fridge or in cold water the day of
-
- defrosting steak in warm water or in microwave will partially cook the beef and it will be tough
- Let the steak rest on the counter for 20 – 30 minutes to bring it to room temperature
- Don’t put defrosted steak from the fridge right in a hot pan, the steak needs to be room temperature
- Season with your favorite seasoning. Pepper and salt will do the trick as well. 3T steaks have delicious flavor already.
- Heat up your cast iron pan on medium heat – about three minutes, put in little bit of canola oil
- Grilling. Preheat your grill, no canola oil and now follow the same steps as for cast iron pan.
- Put in your steak and right away, turn the heat to low. All the way to low!
- 1 inch steak will typically cook for about 4 minutes on each side. Set the timer!
- Flip the steak after 4 minutes and cook for additional 4 minutes. Don’t mess with the steak, just let it cook.
- Steak is cooked, but needs to rest. Cover the steak with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Ready to serve! Don’t forget to cut the steak against the grain, which means against the direction that the muscle fibers run.
