Steakhouse Quality Seared Strip Loin Steak Food

STEAKHOUSE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat dry the filets mignons with paper towels. Brush the filets lightly all over with the oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the filets on all sides in the mixture, pressing lightly to help the salt and pepper adhere. The steaks should be evenly coated with the salt and pepper.
• When the pan is extremely hot, add the steaks and sear evenly on all sides (top, bottom, and sides) for about 2 minutes per side. (Be sure the cooking area is well ventilated.) You'll probably need about 3 turns to sear the sides and about 10 minutes total.
• Remove the pan from the heat and arrange all the filets flat in the pan. Top each with a tablespoon of butter, then place the pan in the oven. Cook the filets for 8 to 12 minutes to 120 degrees for rare and 125 degrees for medium-rare. Remove the steaks to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

STEAKHOUSE-QUALITY SEARED STRIP LOIN STEAK

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 325 ºF.
• Place a 12 inch cast iron pan on the stove and raise the heat to high.
• Place the two steaks on a cutting board.
• Rub both side of the steaks with the soft roasted garlic.
• Sprinkle coarse sea salt generously over both side of the steaks.
• Grind the black pepper on both sides of the steaks.
• Pour the oil over the steaks and pat the ingredients into the steak, turn over and continue to pat the ingredients and rub the steaks over the oil that spilled off.All sides of the steaks should be coated.
• Place one steak at-a-time into the hot cast iron pan (no additional oil at this time). Note: Place the first end of the steak in the pan on the side closest to you and lay it into the pan away from you. This will minimize any potential splatter towards your hands.
• You will hear an intense sizzle. This is good. Continue to sear the the steak for 3 minutes.
• Turn the steak over and continue to sear the other side for another 3 minutes.
• During the searing of the second side, place the butter, sprigs of thyme and cloves of garlic in the pan. As the butter melts, hold the pan handle slightly tilted (don't forget to use protection to hold the handle) and start basting the butter over the steak with a spoon as it melts. Keep basting during the 3 minutes.
• Now place the pan in the oven for 3 more minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes on a room temperature surface (clean cutting board) before serving or cutting. This will keep the juices in the steak.
• The steak should be medium done. Enjoy with your favourite sides.

STEAK-HOUSE SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN FILETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Season filets with kosher salt and pepper.
• Heat an oven-proof pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
• Add oil and heat briefly.
• Sear filets in oil on one side for 4-5 minutes. Turn them over, place the pan in the oven, and roast to desired doneness. (For medium rare that would be approximately 7 minutes.).
• Allow filets to rest 5 minutes before serving.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Thoroughly pat steak dry with paper towels. Just before cooking, generously season with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper
• Heat the cast iron pan until hot then add 1/2 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Once the oil is very hot, add steaks to the skillet. Sear the steaks on the first side for 4 minutes until a brown crust has formed then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the steak on its sides to render the white fat and sear the edges (1-minute per edge).
• Reduce heat to medium and immediately add 2 Tbsp butter, quartered garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Spoon the butter sauce over the steak, tilting the pan to get butter on your spoon. Continue spooning the sauce over the steak for a minute or until the steak is about 5-10 degrees from your desired doneness (the temperature will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees while steaks rest).
• Transfer steak to a cutting board, loosely cover and rest 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2" strips to serve. Spoon extra butter sauce over sliced steak to serve.

THE PERFECT NEW YORK STRIP STEAK

Steps:

• Roast the steaks at low heat: Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Season steaks generously with salt on all sides. Place steaks on a wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet; this will ensure even airflow all around the steaks as they cook. Cook for 25-35 minutes, checking after 20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F. (Note: Once the temperature reaches 80 degrees F, it will climb quickly.) For an accurate temperature, place the thermometer through the side into the center of the steak. When steak reaches 125 degrees F, let rest 10 minutes.
• Sear the steaks: Heat skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat until smoking; then add the steaks. Cook for 1 minute, undisturbed. Flip steaks, drain off the fat, then cook another 1 minute, undisturbed. Meanwhile, gently smash the garlic cloves with the heel of your hand until you hear a crack, leaving the peels attached.Add 2 tablespoons of butter, garlic cloves, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Tilt the pan and continually baste the steaks with the hot butter as it browns and gets foamy. Take the pan off the heat as you baste if the butter is browning too quickly or the herbs and garlic are starting to burn. Add remaining tablespoon of butter; once the first side is well-browned, flip the steaks and continue basting-a French technique called arroser-until the butter is no longer foamy. (Once the steaks have been flipped, Chef Pandel continues basting with his pan entirely off the heat; you may need to do the same, depending on the variables of stove temperature, pan, and the steaks themselves.) When it's no longer foamy, the butter has done its job and the steaks should be well seared with a nice crust. Check the temperature of the steaks: for medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 125 degrees F-130 degrees F. Remove steaks to the rack to rest, about 10 minutes. Serve right away.
