About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- beef chuck shoulder steak
- beef flank steak
- beef tri‑tip
- beef flap meat
- beef ribeye steak
- beef tenderloin
- beef New York strip steak
- salt
- low‑sodium soy sauce
- black pepper
- garlic cloves
- oil
Instructions
- 1Preheat a cast‑iron skillet in a hot oven for about 20 minutes.
- 2Remove the skillet and add a generous amount of oil, letting it heat until it begins to smoke.
- 3Season the raw steak with salt (you can do this up to an hour before cooking or overnight, covering with cling film if overnight).
- 4If marinating, combine low‑sodium soy sauce, fresh ground black pepper, and crushed garlic cloves in a bag, place the steak inside, and let it sit for 30 minutes to overnight, ensuring the meat is well coated.
- 5Pat the steak dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture and promote a crisp crust.
- 6Place the steak in the hot skillet; it should sizzle immediately.
- 7Steak is seared in a cast iron skillet.
- 8Flip the steak frequently, moving it to the hottest parts of the pan to build an even crust; use a kitchen thermometer to check for medium‑rare (135°F).
- 9Once the desired internal temperature is reached, remove the steak and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to allow carry‑over cooking and relaxation of muscle fibers.
- 10Slice the steak against the grain for a tender bite.
- 11Cooked steak is sliced into strips.
