      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.

      Olive oil is a MUFA , mono unsaturated fatty acid.

    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.

    PS I have a lactose intolerance but I've found that using I Cant Believe It's Not Butter works well as a substitute for basting and sauteeing veggies and so forth. It's not as great but worth it for me to keep my day clear of prolonged bathroom breaks.

    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

  • @RobertMatlock
    @RobertMatlock Рік тому +46

    Smoking the oil (basically burning and causing free radicals to pop off for you health people) off the top is not how you get a top-tier steak. You're cooking at way too high a temp for olive oil (by the looks of it, 550+), which is apparent with how quickly the olive oil smoked, which is not what you want. If you're going that hot, use something with a higher smoke point, like avocado oil. The steak should also never be black on a skillet, only on the grill from the charcoal. That is indeed burned, it should be dark brown at most. If it's black on the outside before it's done cooking on a skillet, the pan is too hot for the thickness of the steak you have. You only really need 550+ for something very thin if you want to get a sear without overcooking. The pan was also way too hot to be adding butter, you don't want to burn the butter, literally at all, which happens very quickly after you're around 400 degrees. Bring the temperature down before basting and adding herbs, garlic, etc. Also, not sure how long you seasoned it before throwing it on, but for the viewers - don't salt if you're leaving out still, salt will suck the moisture right out if left on too long, so salt only right before throwing on the skillet (you can do pepper/garlic before though). The steak probably still tastes good, but it could be way better with some adjustments.

      If you salt 24 hours before cooking, you're gonna get the best crust on the steak since it's kind of dry aged.
      Always add the pepper afterward. Otherwise, you won't even taste it.
      I used to do it before, but i decided to try peppering the steak after cooking to see if there was a difference, big difference!

      @@davidkattan1275 I've tried the salting a day ahead to "dry age" it a bit, but didn't like the outcome, it kills the tenderness too much for me. It's all preference though, I just wanted to point out the absolute do-nots in this video, like burning the steak, oil, and butter, which not only kills the richness of all the flavors, but it's incredibly bad for your health, and then threw in a couple personal recommendations. Interestingly enough, peppering after is probably the only thing I haven't tested. I'll give it a shot! Tomorrow is steak night

    Why not try it?! Related story. Many years ago got beautiful rib eyes from butcher. By time dinner rolled around, the skys opened with no relief in sight. We had been looking forward to dinner all day! My husband got Emeril's cookbook out & followed his recipe ( basically same as in video). I was almost in tears as the pan smoked & I screamed at my husband "you've ruined our steaks!!". He has never let me forget that statement as they turned out to be the most delicious, most tender steaks I have ever eaten. So, just try before you criticize. This the only we cook steak now.

      I’m also a fan of using butter along with a good quality single sourced virgin olive oil to prevent the butter from burning. But my favorite way is to cook with tallow and Celtic sea salt.. I feel like tha tallow does the best job and creating a caramelized outer bark.
      But I 100% agree to NEVER use hydrogenated vegetables oils cause they are literally chemical waste by products that industrial manufacturers figured out a way to feed to us rather than deal with the expensive disposal costs.

    As a chef at Denny’s for 27 years, I recommend spraying the steak with Pam Oil for about 20 seconds on each side. Make sure you don’t get your ashes from your cigarette onto the steak. Poke it with your finger; a light give means it’s medium.

    I love cooking steak in my cast iron pan, but it smokes up the house. Lately I’ve been doing a reverse sear. Since you only want the pan to sear the steak, you can do most of the cooking in the oven then finish it off in the pan without setting off the smoke detectors. You should try it and make a video. I think you’ll like it.

    • @sn7miller
      @sn7miller Рік тому

      I've been doing what you do in reverse.... 1st searing the steak on the pan to seal in juices and get it brown, then bake 6-10 minutes until it's medium rare. Comes out great, but maybe there's a reason to bake 1st then pan fry? Any thoughts. Always love to improve

    • @musicalmystery1993

      It's smoking up the house because the pan is too hot versus the oil. Different oils have different temperatures at which they start smoking. Olive Oil is lower than Canola (which smokes somewhere around 400oF - 450oF)
