Follow @kalejunkie for more tips & recipes! HOW TO COOK A PERFECT STEAK EVERY TIME! 🥩 Welcome to Episode 9 of Mastering the Basics where I help you become better in the kitchen. Today it’s all about steak, right in time for Valentine’s Day, thanks to my friends at @sprouts! I am using a ribeye steak, which is my favorite cut, but this method is also fantastic for a New York strip or even a lean piece of meat like a filet!⁣
⁣
Make sure to SAVE this post so you can refer back to it when you are ready to make a steak!⁣
⁣
Here is what you need to know—⁣
1. Your steak must be room temp to get that perfect crust/sear. If you use cold steak, it will turn a gray color!⁣
2. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel.⁣
3. Add salt—more than you think you need, trust me! I also recommend keeping it simple with just salt and pepper.⁣
4. Use a meat thermometer if you have one, that is the best way to get your steak cooked to your doneness preference.⁣
5. Add oil to a pan over high heat. I always use @sprouts avocado oil, as avocado oil has a high smoke point and that is what you want.⁣
6. Wait until the oil glistens and shimmers, that’s how you know the pan is hot enough. ⁣
7. Add each steak and DO NOT TOUCH it for 3-4 minutes. Then flip to the other side for another 3 minutes. **This is for medium rare steak (135F).⁣
8. While the steak is on the other side, add 2-4 cloves fresh garlic (smashed), 4 tb unsalted butter and some fresh thyme. Move the pan around and baste the steak with butter.⁣
9. Remove from the heat and let the steak REST for 5 minutes before slicing.⁣
10. Slice, pour butter from the pan on top and ENJOY!!!⁣
