Tips for Perfection

Making a great steak is not difficult but here are some things to ensure it’s perfect every time!

Prep:

If using frozen steak, be sure to let it fully thaw.

Bring steaks to room temperature before cooking.

A bit of vegetable or canola oil before seasoning helps the seasonings stick.

Season steaks just before cooking.

Preheat the cast iron pan, oven and/or grill.

Cooking:

Searing the outside of the meat helps ensure the juices are sealed inside.

Do not press the steak as it is cooking on the grill.

Use a meat thermometer and be sure not to overcook.

Remove the steaks a few degrees before they reach the desired temperature as they will continue to rise a few degrees as they rest.

Always rest steaks 5-10 minutes before serving for best results.
