Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature for doneness (130-140 degrees medium rare, 140-150 degrees medium, 150-155 degrees medium-well). Don't forget that while it rests, it will continue cooking a few more degrees.
  • If you're making your favorite steak seasoning, combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir rather than applying it directly to the steak.
  • Use pepper from a coarse grinder if you don't have a mortar and pestle. For a little spice add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes.
  • Cooking times will vary based on the thickness of the steak.
  • Make your own butter compound by combining softened unsalted butter, garlic powder, and fresh herbs in a bowl. Place it in plastic wrap and mold it into a log shape. To cut a butter pat, let it chill for a couple of hours in the refrigerator.
