Can i use squash instead of zucchini ?
Learn the burning temp of olive oil. U burnt it an lost the flavor. Use real butter ya dumbshit
I basically started making this while playing the video and it started getting a bit smokey. I think maybe cause vent can is broken. I dunno if you have any tips for that but the final product was absolutely fabulous! I really appreciate the life lesson🤓
Zuchini???? WHY????? You might as well have just taken a HUGE shit in the pan!!! Sigh....
As a chef for a number of years if I may suggest to always oil the steak not the pan, and when seasoning season with salt alone no pepper, salt cooks the pepper will just burn, season with the pepper after cooking.
Agree. No pepper. Will burn. Also; season salt side 2 in the pan as will sweat so can dry before turning
Why to oil that way chef? Thanks in advance for your response.
@@alejandromarin6912 You are looking at getting the meat seared quick so it retains all the moisture from within the steak, oiling the meat with good quality olive oil helps with getting it seared quicker than if you oil the pan / grill which in turn will give you a nicely seared and tender steak,assuming you have a decent starting product of course.
I've never tried adding pepper afterwards and my steaks always turn out amazing on my grill, I will now try that and will let you know what I think. Also agree with oiling the steak and not the pan
You took the words right out of my mouth pan should always be preheated and oiled before starting and your meat should always be lightly oiled as well and pepper will burn the hell out of your meats you only need a little salt everything you can put on later when it's juicy and tenderly done.
Oh man! I used your instructions and it is soooo good. I used mushrooms instead of zucchini and I am so pleased. Thank you!

A classic recipe in my opinion! Looks delicious, great job!
Did this the other night. Came out perfect. Just getting another refresher tonight. Great video and easy to follow. Thanks.
We threw some nice steaks on our cast iron and cooked them this way (asking some fresh onions and garlic cloves). It was simply devine. Thanks for sharing this fantastic
video..
I follow these directions to the dot, in the steak was unreal. Thank you so much for making such a video.
Just tried this, and it turned out perfect!! Thank you for this video.
DUDE! Mouth is totally watering. I’m gonna give it a shot your way next time. I got two 1 1/2” ribeyes yesterday and they are beautiful
Nicely done video on cooking steak on a cast iron pan. Giving us cooking time per side and overall cooking time was really helpful. This information was missing in some of other videos. Also re-using the butter sauce for a veggie side was a nice additional touch. Great video Ryan. Thanks for sharing.
Will do!! Thanks for watching. In hot cast iron usually 4 min per side is good
No mit for handling the handle?
@@omnientertainment5852 This ain't no Chef! This is man-cave cookin! LOL! (It wasn't that hot at first so he got away with it (from practice and knowing his skillet/stove), later with the veg he had to use something, the shorts were right there man...)
I just purchased my first cast iron skillet and can’t wait to try this recipe! Thank you!
wooohooo!
Don’t forget to season your skillet first.
Don't forget to season it. Keep a cast iron well seasoned and you'll have a great pan for a lifetime. I've had tye same pan for over 10 years. I use it for everything
@@Shykiddoable I am going to have to UA-cam this then. I don’t know the process.

I purchased some grass-fed/finished ribeyes. Eager to cook them right, I took to youtube for help, found this video, and decided to follow it. By far the best steaks I've ever made.
Awesome video that's easy to follow. Great upload Ryan Maya, thanks a bunch! I also purchased some grass-fed/finished ny strips and will follow your video on how to cook those as well.
Lets go!!! Glad you enjoyed the vid, will be posting more just like this so hope you subscribe!
I did the same this evening! Got 100% grass fed and finished rib-eye on sale at Sprouts. I used Montreal steak seasoning, followed the directions and finished with garlic butter. Sautéed fresh mushrooms in the leftover sauce. Best steak I’ve ever had!
I cook my steaks the same way. Only input I have is make sure the steak is room temperature. I marinate and put the steak in a Quart freezer bag. Then I lay it on the counter for 1-2 hours. GREAT Video! I stopped Grilling steaks LONG ago.
I’ll do you one better, pat the steaks down with a paper towel before hand, season it, and keep it out of the bag so the moisture stays off the outer layer and stays trapped inside the steak.
That hour just put it in the microwave or oven if you aren’t using them. I just throw them on a plate and put it in the microwave out of the way. (I don’t turn the microwave on for those wondering)
This will form the crust really well while keeping it juicy.
I've never cooked steak so perfectly in my life. Thank you.
Best steak Ever!! Thank you♥️. Presentation very professional. Thank you again.
First time ever have I seen someone make a real steak the right way! Thanks
Love it!, this is the first time somebody teach how to cook a stake, thanks again
thank you!!!
Nothing like eating a sharp wooden dowel that kills vampires
Instead of garlic powder crush 2 cloves put in the butter along with a sprig of rosemary and baste
I never cooked a steak that I absolutely loved. That changed today with tips from your video. I used avocado oil in the cast iron and slapped some on the steak then seasoned it with coasher salt and onion powder. Cooked for 8.5 minutes total. Thing was a perfect medium rare. Perfection.
I just finished watching your video. I really enjoyed you. You did such an awesome job. You inspire me and your channel is lovely👌👏👏👏🌷
Great job. Try putting some garlic and rosemary in with the butter when you baste. I'd do only 6 minutes...better rare than medium. The cast iron is a winner for sure.

"Use a towel cast iron gets hot, im using my shorts..." haha
lmfaoooooo sometimes you gotta work with what you got
🤣🤣😂😂
😂
As Homer Simpson once said, “ you’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel!” 🤣🤣🤣
Guy is a bit wacky..bet u he was high
I marinated in a little italian dressing for a few hours, 2 -1" thick NY strip steaks. Pat dry out of frig at least 20 mins., used Kosher salt a little thyme and rubbed in small amount of Avocado Oil, pepper. Got the pan very hot with more oil. Cooked just like you did, with butter towards the end. One of the very best steaks I ever made. Somebody said "is this porterhouse?" It was AMAZING! I pass on the garlic, it burns too easy. Thanks for making this video! GREAT JOB...CHEERS!
Italian dressing is the best to marinate with. I just let mine marinate 24 hours and I'm super excited to see how it turns out on the cast iron skillet. Will be my first time cooking on cast iron.
If you have the patience marinate it overnight. Pat it dry and then salt both sides and keep it elevated so the steak isn't sitting in its sweat.
This will cure the steak and it will sear well.
Jeez, finally something useful on UA-cam. There is an old video of Anthony Bourdain and he talked about the importance of butter in cooking at restaurants.
I tried this with a London broil. It came out amazing and my family thought I was a bit of a hero.
Good job! Thank God! You told how many minutes to cook the T-bone steak total! That’s exactly what I have been waiting to hear! 8 minutes total for Medium rare. I like mine medium rare or medium. Do you turn down the heat after the sear for cooking the rest of the steak? A lot of these cooking videos leave out critical information and tips. The Zucchini you cooked in the pan with the same butter you cooked the steak in…great idea! I’ll try that!
Wooooo awesome feedback. Glad you enjoyed the vid!
An excellent video and a great recipe!
Thank You I tried it and loved it. This was the first time cooking a steak black, it wasn't burnt though. It was delicious.
This will be my dinner! Thank you for the video!!!
I fast Thursdays, I'm 30 hrs in and watching this, drowning in drool (sucker for punishment) To-morrow for breakfast it's T-bone steak. Look forward to tryin' your method.
The local butcher sells a seasoning salt with pepper and a little celery salt mixed in. It’s a great steak seasoning. I church it up with garlic and onion salt.

Amazing video! I live on a second floor condo where grills are not permitted, sooooo I have a cast iron. I haven’t mastered steak and cast iron. This video has made me feel more comfortable to do it! Can’t wait!
PS! The trio season is MY GO TO FOR ALL! Awesome!
Consider getting a Sous Vide. They're pretty cheap and they will cook your steak perfect every single time. It's fool proof. All you have to do after the Sous Vide is sear it. Great for condos.
Followed this recipe to a tee, and got phenomenal results. Cast iron is my new friend.

This video made my mouth water. Yum! Great job.
eatin the meat off the bone is the besttt parttttttt So AMAZINGGG
YESSS THE BEST.
Cooked my first steak today July 19/23. Best thing I ever ate. Thanks bruv
I started over a week ago. And it's amazing how well you can do right at the start. Now I am making a steak a day and trying slightly different ways each day. Now I annoy all my friends with non-stop steak talk!
@@mikeygoodluck427 Enjoy your healthy diet man. Just make sure to exercise so your body can make the best of the meat nutrition
Hope you enjoy
@@mikeygoodluck427 Gawd I want to be your friend who lives close by! hahaha
Oh damn! I gotta do this cuz I’m start’n to drool, looks fantastic!👍
I like your seasonings, butter, everything but the olive oil and grapeseed oil. Good video- Thanks.
This video had me drooling. Well done !! 👏
Try using an oil with higher smoke point such as avocado oil. Olive oil has low smoke point and burns very quickly. Hence the smoke.
Just cooked a T-Bone and Zucchini prepared this way. They were both BOMB! Thanks for the idea.
Thanks Man, it turned out GREAT! 🥩
I really loved the zucchini idea. Can't wait to try it thanks
Or splash a little of your wine in the pan to deglaze and pour that back over the steak - yum!
This is the best way to get the perfect steak. Just a little pointer, it is important to always make sure your stove is leveled out so there's no puddling on one side. That way your oil and butter etc, is even on the bottom of the pan. Actually for anything cooked on a stove. It makes a huge difference.
Keep up the great work
yep this is so true!
Marvellous. I will try it. Thank you Chef Ryan.
Awesome video! Need one of those thermometers. I keep cutting mine open to make sure it’s cooked. Still delicious though.
Excellent demonstration and narration. I'm encouraged to try to make it. I believe, now, that I will do it well and, then, have an especially delicious steak meal. Thanks for doing this video so well.
Thanks for the tip, now I’m probably going to buy a steak tomorrow and follow the same technique.
Never use your clothing as a hot pad dude! There are far too many ways that could go tragically wrong. I use the Ov-Glove, it’s a nomex glove with non-slip grips that can easily handle 500f without burning your hand. Safety First!!
Tried it awesome
Trying this tonight. Looks good!
Lets go!!! did you try? how did it come out
Some really good tips here. Will try cooking until 115 degrees. I would add thyme and garlic to basting. Also, I find that letting the steak sit in the fridge overnight helps bring out flavors too.
You don't want to cook a cold steak. If it was in the fridge you need to "let it rest" (come up to room temp) before cooking or it will be harder to sear. So, rest before, rest after.
@@musicalmystery1993 That's right. It takes about 45 minutes for it to reach room temperature.
That’s a hell of a good sear! Good job! I could almost taste the juiciness and deliciousness of that steak when you took a bite lol
Lets go!! haha that was the point. glad you like it!! Do you have a cast iron pan so you ccan try?
@@ryanmayacooks I actually just bought a 1915-1920 era Wagner Ware 11” cast iron skillet that’s been completely reseasoned and restored. They did a beautiful job - the cooking surface looks like glass but I got it mainly to use and something to hand down.
I’ve always either grilled my steaks on an open grill or used stainless steel so cooking with cast iron will be completely new to me. I think the main thing will be learning how to control the heat with cast
Iron.
@@darthvaydr For sure! Ive always found high heat, and then gradually turning it down. Great feedback though!
Fantastic video. Thanks so much for posting
Finally a great 🥩 thank you!
finally some good steak commentary
Oh man, I cooked my first ribeye in my raised cast iron skillet and did exactly as stated in your video. I added garlic rosemary and butter and evoo. Oh h was it great. I was stupid to think I couldn’t do a stove top fry.
Now I know. I bought my skillet last week and I’m glad I finally purchased one. Thanks it was great tender and juicy
lets go!!! glad I can help. how great was it?
I like fresh garlic as opposed to powder and fresh rosemary & onions , I'm definitely going to try the zucchini that was a good move.
Scrumptiously delicious!
Thank you 😋
Only a Stepford wife can grab the handle on a cast iron pan like that. 😮
I don't have a meat thermometer, but I usually do 3 minutes per side and 30 sec - 1 minute sear on the fat. Usually does the trick for me.
Thanks for the tip!
Gonna try this today
This is thee ONLY video I needed!
wooohoo!
looks so good, I can already taste it... going to try tonight.
I grew up on a cattle ranch and had access to prime beef. I don't understand why a significant number of these videos drown a great tasting steak with butter while cooking, changing the flavor. I know restaurants do it, but I think the meat can stand on its own, providing a delicious flavor.
Taste the meat not the heat
Totally agree
Garlic is even bigger problem. Then the steak tastes like garlic. 😞
Totally agree.
Wow that was fantastic! I’m so hungry now! Lol. Question: How do you keep your smoke alarms from going off?? Blessings always! ❤️✝️
Obviously a matter of taste, but I'd suggest adding some thyme to the steak seasoning. Fresh sprig if possible, but dry works well, too. Just toss it in with the butter.
mmmm I will try this
Rosemary is ideal
Don’t forget the fresh garlic as well
I pull the butter out a couple of hours ahead to soften it, mix garlic and herbs d’province
I also use the excess to sauté up some sliced baby Bella shrooms to go over the steak
I toss in a few cloves of crushed garlic, rosemary and thyme in the butter when I start basting the steak and it’s 👌🤤
I was not prepared for how much smoke was going to fill my small apartment. Steaks turned out well though!
Been cooking ribeyes for years in cast iron skillet. I do 3 min per side( 2 inch steak) on medium heat. I add enough oil in pan to just coat it. Comes out perfect medium rare each time and delicious.
I immediately give a like because I know it's delicious!!! 👍😆😋
Nice video! Although I love olive oil, I only use oils with a high smoke point. Grapeseed (like you mentioned), Avocado, canola, peanut etc. Typically Avocado, but my olive oil always smokes far too much.
I didn't have any canola oil so was annoyed with myself
Usually I use crushed and minced garlic instead of powdered in the oil and more with the butter when I have it. Otherwise I do the same using powder. Either way, can't lose.
good tip!! ill have to try
you are very professional. I enjoyed . Good luck
THIS IS AWESOME! JOB WELL DONE..
You know the steak is going to be amazing when the dude used his shorts to hold the pan. That sear looks perfect!
Pretty good video, but I'd change the oil to a small scoop of tallow, use fresh garlic rather than powder, and I'd forego the butter.
The quick 5- minute GRITS IS INCREDIBLE...
I WAS JUST COOKING A STEAK.
Looks delicious 😋
I thought you were crazy but I just did a KC Strip and it worked perfectly. I put in sliced mushrooms after the steak and they were killer. Thanks
Lets go KC strip! I never heard of thatl, what is it?
@@ryanmayacooks - A porterhouse steak has a filet and the other side of the bone is the strip.
@@kenstrain4366 Gotcha, thank you man! Whats your favorite way to cook it?
@@ryanmayacooks - the local Meijer has angus Porterhouses for $6.99/lb on sale. We like grilling them.
That is freaking AWESOME. thanks for the input! Will have to try!
This is an awesome video man, thank you so much!
I did your last recipe. And it came out amazing.🎉 please make more videos explaining your recipe.
For the way I eat steak, that would qualify as medium, approaching medium-well. I like to see if the cow still has reflexes when I take a bite. I only stop cooking when it stops jolting and not a moment later.
Must be a vampire
Hi, I'm not into cooking steaks but i always wanted to learn how to cook a real nice dinner for myself or cook for company when i do get someone to stop by and enjoy a nice meal with family or friends is always nice to know how to cook a nice meal to enjoy with anyone thank you for showing your program.
Hope you enjoy!!!
Thank you for you're help, i have to try it and see how it will come out okay thanks again for your information thank you very much.
Cast iron is just awesome!!!
Flavortown!!! Looks so good.
Looks good man. I used garlic powder recently on a steak but didn't use any oil in the cast iron so it all burnt lol the steak still tasted amazing though. I think using oil would help prevent it from burning so much.
Avocado oil is best in my opinion, high boil point and very little smoke.
I think the garlic is burnt on that steak in my opinion there's no way those tiny garlic granules can take that much punishment and not taste burnt especially in a cast iron pan,sure its still delicious but I cook alot with garlic powder and it definitely burns lol
I followed your steps tonight.
Best steak I’ve ever made!
Who would have thought putting butter in the pan?!
Outstanding!!
Looks fantastic.
Sounds good looks good
Just a note: Olive oil should not exceed 200 degrees, because the fatty acids begin to break down at this temperature. In other words, the oil starts to smoke and burn
For high heat I don't recommend extra virgin olive oil because it can make the steak taste real gritty I would use more of a high heat oil like avocado unrefined peanut oil or safflower oil could use unfiltered olive oil it has a higher heat tolerance but extra virgin olive oil Burns very easily makes the steak taste gritty
@Dacia Sandero guys unfiltered olive oil don't smoke too much
I use bacon grease to fry my steaks. So good!
Do NOT use any “vegetable” oils, especially the industrial seed oils! (They’re canola, corn, soybean, safflower,sunflower, and their ilk.) They cause so much inflammation in your body! Use beef tallow instead.
Hell yeah, man!! Everything he’s saying is true If I can do it, anybody can.
Hi! Searing time per side for a medium-well, other things same as in this recipe? Looking forward to gud advice from fellow foodies! Thanks
Thanks for cooking that steak 🥩 with us!
My mother did that with zucchini but she also would throw in cherry tomatoes and a little parm. So good.
The F-ing ultimate bachelor!
What a BOSS!
hahahah thanks
Sir, you are the KING of steaks ! 🎉🎉🎉België thx
Looks great.. Onions, Mushrooms. This is my must with my steak. YUM
I gotta try that for sure! Sounds awesome
nice job! i throw my cast iron on my grill and i season my steak with sea salt and fresh ground pepper and after i drop it in the cast iron i drop 2 garlic cloves and 2 sticks of thyme along with 2 tbs of butter but i cook my steak 30 seconds to 1 minute a side so it can slowly cook and so the steak can absorb the flavors a bit more then after i let it sit on the grill for a couple seconds to just get the outside a good crisp grill look to it and it’s absolutely PERFECT!!!
That's a great idea!
Thank u so much for this video .
throughout the cooking process do you have the heat always at max? Or do you change it to medium halfway through? Please answer
Nice! Add fresh rosemary, thyme and chopped garlic to the butter while basting for an even more delicious steak 👍
