The Perfect Steak Says Chef Fabio 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.

THE PERFECT STEAK, SAYS CHEF FABIO

Steps:

• Rub both sides of steak with 1 Tbsp of the oil.
• Season the steak with pepper on both sides.
• Heat grill (indoor type - or a large skillet will also work) with medium high heat until very hot.
• Add 2 Tbsp to the grill or pan and place the steak in the pan, allow it to cook on one side for 2-3 min without moving or poking the meat.
• While the steak is cooking, chop the garlic and put it in the remaining EVOO.
• Take the sprigs of rosemary and thyme, wrap the ends with aluminum foil to keep them together and use them as a brush to brush the garlic oil on the steak while it is cooking.
• Flip the steak over, brush with garlic oil, then salt the cooked side.
• After 2-3 min flip the steak over again, and salt that side as well, brushing all sides with the herb brush of garlic oil.
• Lower the heat.
• Add the butter to the top of the steak, and let it melt as the steak cooks to your preference. Cooking time will depend on how well done you wish your steak to be.
• When the steak is cooked, remove from pan to a board or plate and allow the steak to rest for approximately 5 minute
• Slice and serve.
• MANGIA!
