How to Cook the Perfect Indoor Steak

March 1, 2012 By Caitlin Weeks

How to Cook the Perfect Indoor Steak –

My husband is a chef and he taught me how to cook the perfect steak so I wanted to share it with you. As a nutrition consultant I see people eating lots of white breast chicken and fake soy burgers. But I urge you to re-think your low fat menu ideas! It is okay to eat beef again and I think we have shunned this super food for far too long. Most of the studies that show beef is bad for heart health have been done using genetically modified corn-fed, confined, antibiotic filled cows. 100% Grass fed beef  on the other hand has healthy omega-3’s and fat burning CLA.

Many of you have told me that cooking steak is challenging for you so I hope this helpful a helpful post about how to cook the perfect indoor steak. My husband taught me how to cook after he went to culinary school then worked at a steakhouse for several years. He would be cooking 50 steaks at a time in a high end steakhouse and have to get them all perfect or get in trouble with the manager. Talk about high pressure! I took a lot of tips from him and added some things I have learned after cooking grass fed steaks for many years. It is important to start with a steak that is room temperature so the steak will be as tender as possible. Here is a review I did about one of my favorite online grass fed beef delivery services called Butcher Box (read it here).

How to Cook the Perfect Indoor Steak

Ingredients:

1 12-16 oz Ribeye or New York Strip (make sure to get one with some marbling, especially grass fed)
1 Tablespoon ghee, beef fat or bacon fat
1 teaspoon sea salt (my favorite is Real Salt) 
1/2 teaspoon pepper 

Directions:
  • Coat the steak with real salt and pepper on both sides
  • Let it sit for about 20 minutes until it is room temperature.
  •  Turn your oven on to 400 to get it warmed up
  •  On the stove top, turn your burner on high and melt meat fat in this Cast Iron Skillet
  •  When the fat has melted and is sizzling, sear your steak on each side for one minute
  •  Then place the whole frying pan in the oven for three to 7 more minutes depending on your desired meat temperature
  • Use your finger and touch the outside to figure out the temperature
  •  I always pull it out before I think it is done, because you can not go back!  
  • Let the steak rest for 1-3 minutes after removing from the oven. 
  • Serve, slice and enjoy.

Temperature Guide: 

  • Rare: Red, cool to warm center and the meat will be soft and spongy: 3 minutes
  • Medium rare: Red, warm center and the meat will have a springy firmness: 5 minutes
  • Medium: Hot, pink center and the meat will be less springy than medium rare: 7 minutes
