As a chef for a number of years if I may suggest to always oil the steak not the pan, and when seasoning season with salt alone no pepper, salt cooks the pepper will just burn, season with the pepper after cooking.

[@jamesclery9809]

Agree. No pepper. Will burn. Also; season salt side 2 in the pan as will sweat so can dry before turning

[@alejandromarin6912]

Why to oil that way chef? Thanks in advance for your response.

[@Slurped836]

@@alejandromarin6912 You are looking at getting the meat seared quick so it retains all the moisture from within the steak, oiling the meat with good quality olive oil helps with getting it seared quicker than if you oil the pan / grill which in turn will give you a nicely seared and tender steak,assuming you have a decent starting product of course.

[@KevinTkt14]

I've never tried adding pepper afterwards and my steaks always turn out amazing on my grill, I will now try that and will let you know what I think. Also agree with oiling the steak and not the pan

[@julioleon559]

You took the words right out of my mouth pan should always be preheated and oiled before starting and your meat should always be lightly oiled as well and pepper will burn the hell out of your meats you only need a little salt everything you can put on later when it's juicy and tenderly done.

I cook my steaks the same way. Only input I have is make sure the steak is room temperature. I marinate and put the steak in a Quart freezer bag. Then I lay it on the counter for 1-2 hours. GREAT Video! I stopped Grilling steaks LONG ago.

[@ryanfoxon9115]

I’ll do you one better, pat the steaks down with a paper towel before hand, season it, and keep it out of the bag so the moisture stays off the outer layer and stays trapped inside the steak. That hour just put it in the microwave or oven if you aren’t using them. I just throw them on a plate and put it in the microwave out of the way. (I don’t turn the microwave on for those wondering) This will form the crust really well while keeping it juicy.

[@kingstogodshm3251]

Why'd you stop grilling steaks? They're arguably still pretty good and way healthier long term

Italian dressing is the best to marinate with. I just let mine marinate 24 hours and I'm super excited to see how it turns out on the cast iron skillet. Will be my first time cooking on cast iron.

[@daveortiz352]

I never cooked a steak that I absolutely loved. That changed today with tips from your video. I used avocado oil in the cast iron and slapped some on the steak then seasoned it with coasher salt and onion powder. Cooked for 8.5 minutes total. Thing was a perfect medium rare. Perfection.

[@stevecable8446]

Obviously a matter of taste, but I'd suggest adding some thyme to the steak seasoning. Fresh sprig if possible, but dry works well, too. Just toss it in with the butter.

[@ryanmayacooks]

mmmm I will try this

[@stevew9430]

Rosemary is ideal

[@parrothead6570]

Don’t forget the fresh garlic as well I pull the butter out a couple of hours ahead to soften it, mix garlic and herbs d’province I also use the excess to sauté up some sliced baby Bella shrooms to go over the steak

[@nathanweitzel5804]

I toss in a few cloves of crushed garlic, rosemary and thyme in the butter when I start basting the steak and it’s 👌🤤

[@retrowave9536]

For high heat I don't recommend extra virgin olive oil because it can make the steak taste real gritty I would use more of a high heat oil like avocado unrefined peanut oil or safflower oil could use unfiltered olive oil it has a higher heat tolerance but extra virgin olive oil Burns very easily makes the steak taste gritty

Do NOT use any “vegetable” oils, especially the industrial seed oils! (They’re canola, corn, soybean, safflower,sunflower, and their ilk.) They cause so much inflammation in your body! Use beef tallow instead.

[@richardcorlett117]

This is the best way to get the perfect steak. Just a little pointer, it is important to always make sure your stove is leveled out so there's no puddling on one side. That way your oil and butter etc, is even on the bottom of the pan. Actually for anything cooked on a stove. It makes a huge difference. Keep up the great work

You don't want to cook a cold steak. If it was in the fridge you need to "let it rest" (come up to room temp) before cooking or it will be harder to sear. So, rest before, rest after.

Good job! Thank God! You told how many minutes to cook the T-bone steak total! That’s exactly what I have been waiting to hear! 8 minutes total for Medium rare. I like mine medium rare or medium. Do you turn down the heat after the sear for cooking the rest of the steak? A lot of these cooking videos leave out critical information and tips.

I love cooking steak in my cast iron pan, but it smokes up the house. Lately I’ve been doing a reverse sear. Since you only want the pan to sear the steak, you can do most of the cooking in the oven then finish it off in the pan without setting off the smoke detectors. You should try it and make a video. I think you’ll like it.

[@sn7miller]

I've been doing what you do in reverse.... 1st searing the steak on the pan to seal in juices and get it brown, then bake 6-10 minutes until it's medium rare. Comes out great, but maybe there's a reason to bake 1st then pan fry? Any thoughts. Always love to improve

[@musicalmystery1993]

It's smoking up the house because the pan is too hot versus the oil. Different oils have different temperatures at which they start smoking. Olive Oil is lower than Canola (which smokes somewhere around 400oF - 450oF)

Smoking the oil (basically burning and causing free radicals to pop off) off the top is not how you get a top-tier steak. You're cooking at way too high a temp (by the looks of it, 450+), which is apparent with how quickly the steak got a pitch-black sear and how quickly the olive oil smoked, which is not what you want (and yes, that's burned, this isn't a grill). You're overcooking the outside while it's not able to sit long enough for the inside to cook properly. Pan is also way too hot to be adding butter, you don't want to burn the butter, which happens very quickly after you're around 400 degrees. Bring the temperature down before basting and adding herbs, garlic, etc. The steak probably still tastes great, hard to go wrong, but it could be way better with some adjustments. In short- sear at 400-425 degrees, 2mins each side. Bring pan down to 375ish degrees and add butter/extras, then cook each side for 1-1.5 mins while basting consistently. Rest for 10mins.

Just cooked a T-Bone and Zucchini prepared this way. They were both BOMB! Thanks for the idea.

I followed your steps tonight. Best steak I’ve ever made! Who would have thought putting butter in the pan?! Outstanding!!

[@Lefepie]

Olive oil has a smoke point of at 365.. better use avocado oil or clarified butter. Almost burnt is that healthy that black i mean.. butter as less burning point than olive oil btw. Butter i do same with butter at end just don,t burn it with zucchinis.. i like to salt both side too and put in fridge for 24h or 3h min. Love steak! Awesome

Thanks for the tips!

[@ILruffian]

Agree with this 100%. That said, *clarified* butter has a super high smoke point.

Only a Stepford wife can grab the handle on a cast iron pan like that. 😮

When cooking my steaks i dont use oils in the pan 1st. If you put some peanut butter and marmite in the pan. Let it heat for about 18 and half seconds maximum then add a pinch of tomato soup and add the steak for 7m 15s no longer!. Mine come out crisp everytime.

[@carstenprilow1837]

Just a note: Olive oil should not exceed 200 degrees, because the fatty acids begin to break down at this temperature. In other words, the oil starts to smoke and burn

Getcherself a danged pot holder! Dinner looks delicious

[@neila2475]

I really loved the zucchini idea. Can't wait to try it thanks

[@brucekuehn4031]

Or splash a little of your wine in the pan to deglaze and pour that back over the steak - yum!

[@fullofdebt]

Looking forward to making this! What cooking instructions would you recommend for someone that prefers medium well?

[@janaebaggott9357]

Amazing video! I live on a second floor condo where grills are not permitted, sooooo I have a cast iron. I haven’t mastered steak and cast iron. This video has made me feel more comfortable to do it! Can’t wait! PS! The trio season is MY GO TO FOR ALL! Awesome!

Consider getting a Sous Vide. They're pretty cheap and they will cook your steak perfect every single time. It's fool proof. All you have to do after the Sous Vide is sear it. Great for condos.

May I suggest adding salt to the oil first. And then putting the oil on the steak. Then dredging that oily salty steak in some pepper. Then put in the fridge for 45 minutes. Then cook on a salty seasoned cast iron skillet with pepper added 2 minutes into the preheat stage.
