Recipe Tips
1. Make sure you let your steak come to room temperature.
2. Use a heavy pan such as cast iron to get the highest heat for the searing and forming the best crust.
3. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
4. Your steak will continue to cook and the temperature will rise about another 5 degrees as it rests.
What equipment do I need?
Cast iron skillets are the best for this steak because it gets so hot and gives them such a great sear. They are fairly cheap and will last forever. Using a good Meat thermometer will help you achieve the right cooking temp for your preference.
