How to Make a Perfect Steak at Home

If you don’t have a grill and a backyard, it doesn’t mean that you
cannot enjoy a real steak at home. Follow these simple instructions and
you’ll have a perfect steak every time. It will save you money and
frustration of ordering steak at restaurants. I used to love to go out
for steak, but it cost a lot. Now I never order steak out because I know
that my home version is so much better.

recipe for success

  • Steaks (filet mignon, rib eye, etc) – minimum 1 and a half inch thick
  • Favourite spices – I use Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • Olive oil
  • Butter (optional)
  • Cast iron skillet

– Liberally oil the steaks and season them with your favourite
spices. Let them stand at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 425F (220C)

– Heat the cast iron skillet on high for 1.5-2 minutes until it’s smoking hot.

– Pan fry the steaks for about 1.5-2 minutes without touching them.
It might smoke a lot, so open the windows to let the smoke out. Since
the steaks are already oiled, you do not need to add any extra oil into
the skillet.

– Turn the steaks after 1.5-2 minutes.

– If you are not worried about cholesterol, then put a little knob of butter onto each steak.

– Pan fry the steaks without touching them for another 1.5-2 minutes.

– Put the skillet into the oven.

– For Medium Rare, leave the steaks in the oven for 3-3.5 minute, turning them halfway through.

– For Medium, leave the steaks in the oven for 5-5.5 minutes, turning them halfway through.
