Perfect Beef Steak Food

THE PERFECT STEAK

Steps:

• Everyone has to try Chuck Hughes' fool proof technique for cooking a mouthwatering, perfect, medium-rare steak.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper on each side. In a blazing hot cast-iron pan on medium-high, heat the oil. Sear the steak for 3 minutes on each side. Remove the steak from the stovetop and put it in the oven for 5 minutes.

PERFECTLY GRILLED STEAK

Steps:

• About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit, covered, at room temperature.
• Heat your grill to high. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

PERFECT BEEF STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high, giving it 15 minutes to build heat.
• Coat the steak with olive oil, then cover one side with the spice rub. When the grill is hot, lay the steak on it, rub side down.
• Cook, undisturbed, for 4 minutes. Flip the steak with tongs, not a fork (the juices will escape), and move to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking it through, another 4 to 5 minutes. The steak is medium rare when its internal temp reaches 145°F or it feels like a Nerf football to the touch.
• Serve with a side of grilled vegetables dusted with smoked paprika, and a scoop of homemade salsa. If you've used pork or chicken, serve with mango or pineapple salsa.
