Now, I am a steak/grill/smoker master, SCA Member and anyone who has ever eaten at my house will tell you. , I have been saying for years that medium tasted better than med/rare….Now I can use the proper verbiage and science to explain why that is!!! THANK YOU!!! This is the BEST steak video I have EVER seen!!! So glad I just bought a Blackstone and started watching these videos…BRILLIANT!!!!
I first started "griddling" my steaks, emulating you. I raised the steak game tremendously when you introduced me to the Rosemary/garlic game. That combo on top of a steak is THE BOMB!! Thank you, Chef Nate, my carnivore family appreciates you sharing your wisdom!
Nate is sort of correct. Fat starts to melt at 130 degrees. Medium rare is 130-140; 130 being the low end and 140 being the medium rare plus. If you want the juiciest (most flavor from fat) steak, you need to cook it to at least 130 and then rest. The exception would be a tenderloin (Filet Mignon) which has very little intra-muscular fat, so you can cook it to a lower temp and still maintain that beefy, juicy flavor. So I would disagree with his claim that you need to cook meat to medium. If you remember fat starts to melt at 130,,,use that to cook to whatever temp you prefer.
Medium rare is usually 135 internal....removed off the grill at around 120. It continues to rise in temperature as it rests. So I will stick with medium rare.
I tried this today using filets and they turned out GREAT! It was really good having a crispy side and a soft, buttery side...a bacon/salty/peppery side and a buttery/rosemary/garlic side. I tried the extra step of marinating the steaks in Lea&Perrins overnight. Outstanding! Love it when an experiment/learning experience turns out so delicious.
Dang! 10 points for some production knowledge! Thanks for hanging out with us Matt. We pride ourselves in presentation… both food and video quality. Thanks for noticing
Cooked my first griddle steak (as well as first cook on my new griddle) today after watching this. Came out better than I expected. Tender and juicy. Not sure grill is seasoned right but time will tell.
I cooked my favorite steak to-date after watching this! 🙌🏻 I was a lot more confident choosing my steaks in the store as well, looking for that intramuscular fat! Thank you!
Definition of Osmosis is wrong. It is where a balance of a solution (salt) occurs inside and outside the steak, true water from inside the steak comes up but then goes back in with the salt to equalize the outside and inside. Dictionary def: "the tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane."
I’ve been cooking my steaks that way in my black skillet for 30 years at the end I add the butter, garlic and baste it for about 1 minute on each side let me tell you it’s the best steak you will ever eat! Now I do it the same way except now I do it on my blackstone and at the end I put the garlic, butter and rosemary on the griddle and kinda move the steak around then flip and it’s done! I didn’t use rosemary back then and added the rosemary about 3-4 years ago! Quick note I use extra virgin olive oil
I will definitely do it. All I have done with steaks is lump charcoal and low and slow for 45 minutes. They always have a melt in your mouth finish like that. But believe me, I will definitely put the griddle test to them as well. Thank you for your patience and time showing us
I just finished cooking a ribeye and garlic butter for dinner, and my wife said I have to cook steaks with garlic butter from now on, thanks for the info on steaks and garlic butter
I am so glad I found you. I have always had an issue with cooking steak, this video is so helpful thank you for sharing your wisdom 😊. Also, I love your energy and your nerdy self. 😂. I just have one question if you don’t mind. I know one of my issues with cooking steak is I never know how long to cook it on either side. Do you have any advice on timing? Keep doing what you do, it is awesome 😎
I've slways cooked a less lean steak medium for that very reason, exactly as you guys did there. I'm so pleased to hear you guys officially approve the technique! 😊
Great video. I would have liked to have been advised as to the time on the grill and what the final temps are. What temp did you have your griddle at when grilling.
Dude!!! My mind is again blown! Ok...I'm going to cook just sirloin feom omaha steak tonight. I still feel like I understand so much more now. Still nervous but working on it. Blaxkstone griddle is so new to me but getting better. Look....I am dyslexic and even I GET WHAT YOUR SAYING. Awesome man! ❤
Thank you so much for this video!!!! The garlic rosemary butter upped my steak game that I was convinced could not be upped.....and I can cook a perfect steak (filet mignon) on a Weber propane grill like no other..... I love the science behind it as well. The griddle is new to me for the past 4 months, and I am in love! Also even though I’m old (52) I love all the movie references and thought I was the only one who lived life through movie quotes! Keep up the great ideas!
Great explanation as to why these things work. I can do veggies on the Blackstone like nobody's business but never could do steak to my satisfaction as I could on a regular flame grill. I knew there had to be a technique to it. Definitely trying these tips out next time. I always liked the liquid Moores marinate but it always tasted like the the meat was steamed on the Blackstone and now I know why. Definitely doing the bacon fat thing though. 😋
My Blackstone doesn’t have the sear option on the dial but i am wondering how long do you cook the steak on each side to achieve Medium? I had cooked 2 NY Strip Steaks and both came out medium but were on the tough side . is it better to use Bacon Fat instead of oil ?
Awesome video brother! The explanation of fats within and on a steak is perfect and has really helped me on my steak cooking skills! Much appreciated!!
I wanted to cook my husband a special steak for Father’s Day so I tried to imitate you. I’ll never be a ‘Chef Nate’ but my husband loved it and was impressed. I appreciate the science behind this cooking technique as I feel you only do well if you understand the why. Thank you!!
He's right about medium. I used to eat my ribeyes medium rare all the time because I was told over and over again that anything past medium rare was ruining the beef. However, the fat never renders enough at medium rare and the meat is just too chewy and sometimes gamy. Medium allows the fat to render and char giving it the most delicious flavor and texture in my opinion.
@@ItsAPartywithNateandCJ Hey Nate - As it turned out... - My raw Sirloin steak came with a hot 700-deg. cooking lava stone, and I cooked each piece to my liking, along with mushrooms and a lobster tail. It was an 'epic' meal by all counts. I'm back home now and hugged my Blackstone griddle when I arrived - lol
@@ItsAPartywithNateandCJ just got mixed signals on the med. rare comment. Great looking steaks!! We actually let them marinate as long as possible with seasoning prior to searing. “Uncle Chris’s” seasoning is your friend!!!
This was very interesting. I’ve always been a medium rare guy, but you’ve convinced me to switch to medium! One question as I am a little confused. I never saw you move the steaks from the hotter side to the cooler side? Did you move them to the cooler side after searing or just keep them on the hot side?
I should’ve gone a bit deeper on that part. Depending on the size of your steak, 3-4 minutes per side on HIGH heat and then move it over to the cooler side to slow down the cooking. Go FAST at first then slow it down. The main thing to try is a thicker cut for 2 rather than 2 individual steaks.
I really enjoyed this video! Very informative, really helped me understand the cooking process better. Hopefully after some practice I can put this to good use. Great job!
Thanks Dani! I’ve always felt that understanding WHY gives me better reference to WHAT I’m doing. Thanks for always being in the comment section my friend
@BeerBreath702 I used to be a big steak purist until I worked in fine dining steak houses, if somebody wants a 55 day prime tomahawk well done with a slice of American cheese more power too them
I love the science behind fine cooking. Seriously, if you know WHY something works it is easier to obtain the desired result. Keep on being nerdy. Love your videos.
Chlorophyll? More like Borophyll! LOL! Question, you said deckle when talking about the ribeye, I thought that's the spinalis? I'm nervous about this medium thing. I'm making steak tonight, maybe I'll take it to 130* instead of 125* - I'll tag you in the results, good or bad LOL.
😂🤣 solid quote my friend! So technically speaking, the correct terminology is “spinalis dorsi” referring to the actual name of the muscle. Deckle is the common term for that piece… also called Ribeye Cap.
For steak, I always set to HIGH. I let my oil or whatever fat I’m cooking in come to smoke point before adding my steaks. You can always move your steaks to a cooler side of the griddle if it’s cruising too fast.
Great video. I am a huge proponent of dry brining meats before they hit the grill. Have 2 Blackstone Grills, one for the camper and one at home. This method with New York’s will be on the menu this weekend, Costco always had a great price on Prime cuts
@@BlackstoneGriddles They were excellent, love the flavor and the the crust on the steaks. Previously have done a reverse sear on a pellet grill then to my Weber, the Blackstone is next level stuff, thanks!
So I haven’t even watched the video yet…. But I’m going to say it…. We drop a Nate video the day before CJ’s so it gets watched. Hoping we get to hear CJ get a couple jabs in? Please don’t disappoint CJ! I’m in your corner!
I'm not gonna knock this video because I believe there is a lot of truth but I will tell you as a fact I've had steak at a butcher shop cooked on a cheap gas grill and was thin cut (about a quarter inch) and it was absolutely delicious. Juicy, tender and so much flavor. To all you claiming there is a certain way to make steak let me say I'm glad I don't listen. LMAO. Great vid here and very good tips for people learning about cooking steaks.
Extremely awesome. We can get recipes any time but when we get science behind the why and how to cook certain things count me in. Make no mistake I still like the recipes but sometimes you gotta let the nerd run loose for a bit. 🤓
I love my steaks FLAME BROILED 2 1/2" thick and BLOODY RARE. My favorite seasonings is? McCormick Montreal Steak Seasonings YUM Oil i use as a binder is? Olive oil or Butter! It also helps to char the steaks. I use a mixture of Charcoal, Mesquite Wood Chips, and Onion Peels on the coals. My favorite kind of steak is PORTER HOUSE CUT. Then T Bone, last is Ribeye Tomahawks or Ribeye's. Again it must have a Onion Smoke Flavor Oh Lord YUM That is the perfect steak in MY BOOKS 👌
Wow, never see Alton Brown in a hat. Glad you explained osmosis correctly though! Some people think osmosis is bringing? That my friend is diffusion. Love the show great job guys!
It's okay to be nerdy! I love cooking science, weather and farming! Farm by day cook for my family! Work on people around the community's computers, I am as nerdy as they come! But I look like both of y'all! Bearded old school dood! Remember we grew up with Bill Nye the science guy!👍😎👊
Right on! Welcome to the fam my friend! Go for a thick cut steak for 2 rather than 2 smaller steaks and you’ll hit your target temp a lot easier. Thanks for watching!
Wow! Thanks so much Luke! I’ve been guilty of missing this point for a lot of years… on a thick cut steak, it make total sense. Access and render the fat throughout to maximize flavor.
You are correct that to render intramuscular fat, you only need 125-130F. However, you can remove from heat slightly under 125F and the carry-over heat will continue to render the fat, leaving you with an amazing med-rare steak. I thought you'd explain carry-over heat when you talked about the importance of resting. Good video overall but I fear a good portion of viewers will overcook theirs. It'll still be a good steak, but not as tender as it could be if pulled just a bit sooner.
So how often do you flip it and when do you put it on the cool side of the griddle. Sorry probably addressed it but very new here. Just want confirmation haha
Love the nerd out! When you asked what the outside fat was I wanted to reply pork rind. Lol great video. You and CJ are great together, like a married couple. We binge watch both shows😃.
I will give you a thumbs up for the school room education on the subcutaneous fat , intra fat, and intro fat, but med rare reverse sear is the way to go in my thought
Did you dry both sides? After you flipped them, I didn’t see you use paper towel to dry before seasoning on other side. You’ve blown my mind by the way!!! I’ve always been a medium rare steak eater!!!
I know it seems odd but a really great steak with gorgeous flecks of fat needs to go to medium. Bring the temp up just a bit gives the intramuscular fat a chance to render and get super juicy
This is an awesome video!!!!! I love the chemistry of both you and CJ. CJ is more bro since and you are more technical since and it is an excellent balance!!! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!!
So does it have to be bacon fat? Or can I use avocado oil? When did you use the cold side? When did you take the temperature? Just got my griddle today , gonna cook Memorial Day steaks tomorrow!
Whoa talk about taking steak to ROYALTY LEVEL. Out of the park my friend. But how does all this nerdism fit it that lil cranium????? Do tell I love a good story 😎

What temp was the steak when you started? They looked more medium rare?@130 degrees?
Great Video for thous who can’t! Great job!
I didn’t use a probe but I’m guessing somewhere around the 140 range when I pulled them. Don’t be afraid of a medium steak.

Searing it also creates the crust. Which it turns gives it more flavor. So a great sear is always a great thing.
That was on of your best videos I have a Blackstone 36 inch I am going to try this with a New York Strip.
The minute he said a good steak should never be Rare, I immediately turned it off..
Oh wow you’re so cool and tough, you eat rare steaks, wow we are so impressed
Medium is perfect. Rare means the flavor isn’t clocked into the meat. I’ll never understand why people die on the hill of rare being better.
Go bite straight to cow

The Blackstone holds a technique to use properly, and it's so easy to use. My dog could use it. Maybe if he wanted.
Did you cook those steaks 10 minutes total? 5 per side? They are making my hungry!!!
Roughly. It’s a “feel” thing unless you want to pull a temp probe. Pull your steaks at 135 and rest for 5-10 minutes and you will be solid
Chlorophyll? More like Borophyll! LOL!

For steak, I always set to HIGH. I let my oil or whatever fat I’m cooking in come to smoke point before adding my steaks. You can always move your steaks to a cooler side of the griddle if it’s cruising too fast.

Thanks for watching! I’ll keep the nerdness coming😂🤣
Thanks for the great info! Just recently got a blackstone but steaks will soon be going on it and I will be trying the rosemary/garlic seasoning!
You got this. And welcome to Griddle Nation!
Right on! Welcome to the fam my friend! Go for a thick cut steak for 2 rather than 2 smaller steaks and you’ll hit your target temp a lot easier. Thanks for watching!
One of the best "cooking a steak" video that I have seen. I have always cooked my steaks medium rare. You have convinced me otherwise.
We're glad this technique video was persuasive!
Wow! Thanks so much Luke! I’ve been guilty of missing this point for a lot of years… on a thick cut steak, it make total sense. Access and render the fat throughout to maximize flavor.
Great video I’ve always had my steak medium rare but this all makes sense from now on I should be doing them like this thanks 👍
Do you keep the temperature very high throughout and then put it on the off side of the grill to rest?
You are correct that to render intramuscular fat, you only need 125-130F. However, you can remove from heat slightly under 125F and the carry-over heat will continue to render the fat, leaving you with an amazing med-rare steak.
I thought you'd explain carry-over heat when you talked about the importance of resting.
Good video overall but I fear a good portion of viewers will overcook theirs. It'll still be a good steak, but not as tender as it could be if pulled just a bit sooner.
So how often do you flip it and when do you put it on the cool side of the griddle. Sorry probably addressed it but very new here. Just want confirmation haha
Wonderful tips and education! Thank you.
First time grilling. Thanks for the info.
Put Bruce Mitchell in charge of this page who wants science talk on a steak,boys it isn't 🚀 science. Perfectly cooked Nate,and CJ.
😂🤣 gotta love Bruce
"Anybody want a peanut?" Said in the voice of Fezzik, was classic! Great call back
Yes please, more food science definitely 😊
Good video, add to the learning bank of steak, thanks
We love to hear this. Thanks for watching friend.
Thanks so much!
So what temp to pull off at for medium
If you’re using a temp probe, pull at 140 on a thick cut steak. Let it ride up to 145ish. Juiciest steak ever my friend!
@@ItsAPartywithNateandCJ thanks
Love the nerd out! When you asked what the outside fat was I wanted to reply pork rind. Lol great video. You and CJ are great together, like a married couple. We binge watch both shows😃.
We're glad to hear this video was informative.
🤣😂🤣 always a pleasure with that guy. I’m crazy impressed with how good of a cook Cj has become. Thanks so much for watching Christeen!
So are beef rinds a thing? If so I'm all in?
Well… they should be. I’d hammer a pile of that in a heartbeat!
I will give you a thumbs up for the school room education on the subcutaneous fat , intra fat, and intro fat, but med rare reverse sear is the way to go in my thought
If you are going Sousvide, I would agree. If it’s all direct heat… try it this way
@@ItsAPartywithNateandCJ I use indirect heat in my weber kettel or my offset smoker
Definitely need to try this!
Did you dry both sides? After you flipped them, I didn’t see you use paper towel to dry before seasoning on other side. You’ve blown my mind by the way!!! I’ve always been a medium rare steak eater!!!
I know it seems odd but a really great steak with gorgeous flecks of fat needs to go to medium. Bring the temp up just a bit gives the intramuscular fat a chance to render and get super juicy
Great video brother and thank you for your knowledge! 👍
This is an awesome video!!!!! I love the chemistry of both you and CJ. CJ is more bro since and you are more technical since and it is an excellent balance!!! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!!
The collastin in the ellagin has to be cooked but the outside fat makes everything taste better and yes I always Eat it😊
Huge fan of this guy
Well said, thx !
Thanks Chris!
Osmosis Jones is on the job! Oh wait wrong show for movie references 🤣🤣🤣
Nailed it brother
So does it have to be bacon fat? Or can I use avocado oil? When did you use the cold side? When did you take the temperature?
Just got my griddle today , gonna cook Memorial Day steaks tomorrow!
Whoa talk about taking steak to ROYALTY LEVEL. Out of the park my friend. But how does all this nerdism fit it that lil cranium????? Do tell I love a good story 😎
Culinary school and a love of food science will do that to ya.
🤣😂 it’s a tight fit… not much up there other than food facts and movie quotes
Do you start your steaks at room temperature?
Not a steak guy so I'm asking
When do you bring it over???
Wow my brain hurts. I need beef 😆
A juicy steak is the perfect cure for a headache.
😂🤣😂 #truth
