When you're aiming for steak perfection with Meat King
The Importance of Temperature and Doneness
Cooking the perfect grass-fed steak is an art. Start by taking your steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it reach room temperature. Use a meat thermometer to make sure your steak is cooked just right. For rare, aim for 50-52°C, medium-rare is best at 55-57°C, while medium should be 60-63°C. It is key to rest your steak after cooking. Let it sit for a few minutes so the juices settle. This makes your steak tender and juicy.
Tips for Perfectly Seasoned and Searched Steaks
- Start with patting the steak dry for a better sear.
- Use salt and pepper for a simple, flavorful crust.
- Adding crushed rosemary can enhance the taste.
- For the best crust, sear your steak in a hot, heavy skillet.
- Don’t flip the steak too early - wait for the golden-brown crust.
- After flipping, baste with butter for added richness.
- Let the steak rest before cutting to keep it juicy.
