How to Cook the Perfect Steak | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@SoundingSix]

I've always salted my steaks for around an hour or so but I never thought about going a day or two and I tried it. It makes the crust AMAZING! This is how you get a great crust just like he said. Mine were salted and in the fridge for roughly, thirty hours. I will always be doing this from now on! Worked in the broiler as well as the frying pan. Both steaks had amazing crusts and they both had just the right amount of salt flavor.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad it worked wonderfully for you!😀

[@SoundingSix]

@@ChefJeanPierre thank you Chef! I've been doing steaks wrong all these years lol. They were still pretty good but this method gives them that extra something they've been missing all these years. You'll have to forgive one thing though... I was out of shallots so I used onyo instead lol. Next time I'll go with the shallots, I promise!

[@crBudgetWatches]

Dry brine is amazing . First time I did it my wife gave me the eye but next day she devoured the steak .

[@EbonyPope]

@@SoundingSix Surely you will be forgiven for using the delicious Onyo!

[@SoundingSix]

@@EbonyPope To atone, I bought some shallots yesterday so the next time I do steak I'll be able to follow the method 100% as instructed. I usually use rosemary and garlic but thyme worked well so the shallots should make it even better.

He's won the Julia Child Award and the James Beard award. I don't have all the details but I'm sure you can find it on Google. What I surprised me was that he's on KZbin. He must be close to retiring and wants to pass on his >50 years of wisdom. I wish I had a chance to eat in one of his best restaurants, but I probably couldn't afford it!!!

My stepdad has always been the steak grill master. Since he had some health problems a few years ago, he just cannot handle grilling in the heat any longer. So, steak has been one of those things we’ve just had to live without or order from a nearby steak place (but we eat-in and so it’s never good). I used to cook steaks like this - but I always ate the thinner steaks so the whole process could be done in the pan. However, filet MIGNON is the steak of choice for my mom, thanks to this video I think I can master cooking them steak! Gonna try it this week!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

This video is important for anyone that really wants to learn how to cook the perfect steak, you’ll learn… #1 Don’t waste your time taking the steak out 20 minutes before cooking it. It accomplishes NOTHING. #2 Do not wait the last minute to salt your steak. Add salt AT LEAST 45 minutes before cooking it! (one or two days is even better!) #3 Get yourself a good instant read thermometer, pushing your thumb in the palm of your hand DOES NOT WORK! #4 Searing the steak DOES NOT seal in the juices. (its only purpose is to create a delicious crust) #5 Be sure to let it rest at least 10 minutes after cooking it, before cutting into it.

For the first time ever, I salted a ribeye and let it age 3 DAYS in the fridge. I threw it on a 500 degree grill for 4 minutes per side (changing the grill angle every two minutes) and let it rest for 5 minutes... It was the BEST steak I've ever had in my life (and I'm 60!) The crust was amazing, the inside was tender and medium rare, and all it needed was the salt and pepper it was prepared with. I encourage everyone to try this! Thank you chef!

Okay! So I had a couple of Strip Loin Steaks in the freezer that I wanted to use on Saturday night. So I took them out on Thursday and let them thaw in the fridge. Then on Friday, I salted them lightly with just enough Kosher Salt as you directed and placed them on a pan with a rack and returned them to the fridge. On Saturday, about 10 minutes before I was going to cook them, I placed them on the counter, set up the butter, my fresh thyme and garlic from my garden, and got my pan and oil up to 400 degrees (by my Infrared thermometer - from your teaching - Essential Kitchen Tools). In went the steaks and following your instructions, step by step, I turned out two of the BEST Medium Rare Strip Loin Steaks that my wife and I had ever tasted (and those are her words). At this point, I will admit that I once followed that method of taking the steaks out, not 10 minutes, but half an hour before cooking and salted them immediately before putting them into the pan (before Chef JP). Well now I have been thoroughly rebuked and I will always do my steaks according to the Gospel Of Jean-Pierre! Thank You so much for doing this video!! I guess you CAN teach an OLD DOG(me) new tricks! Here endeth the lesson. GOOD JOB!

One of the best chefs I saw and listened to. Reasons why. Not arrogant and over complicated. Accepts any way we like our steaks done. Key is moisture and keep flavor. Challenges the various myths which I followed but perhaps didn't have to and most important of all, educational meaning he is one of the few great chefs that literally explain more in depth the reason and logic behind why he does what he does. Not only does this help us retain this in our memory by understanding rather than just memorizing the recipe but open doors to be creative using the same principles. Listener friendly and his method is more practical, not taking away anything from all the other great chefs, but create a more comfortable atmosphere in my opinion being a novice cook.

[@sancota1]

A great thing about Chef JP's videos and methods of teaching is that it explains *why* you are doing or using something. The first complex dish I've made in my life was beef Stroganov with my own beef stock after watching Chef's videos (up until then the most complex dish I made on the regular was pasta with canned/jarred salsa with additions to the salsa). I have all the steps and ingredients in my memory not because I remembered a list but because I understand why I make those steps and why I use these ingredients. Also knowing why makes me confident in figuring out solutions if I don't have access to an ingredient (eg. I don't have access to thyme but understanding why thyme is used helps me to decide if I should replace it with something or just not bother with finding a replacement). One think I would like to see from Chef JP is videos that give an overview over groups of ingredients or specific ingredients. Eg. meat or specific meat like beef; what are the parts of the animal that are used in cooking, what parts of the animal are used for what type of dishes, how does the age of the animal impact meat parts etc. I've learned a lot about onion preparation from watching all the videos but I would be interested in videos that specifically focus on the ingredient and it's "whys" that are not specifically tied to a dish. I would like to thank Chef Jean-Pierre for sharing his knowledge to us all.

My favorite variation is to take the ice cold steak out of the fridge after dry brining and put it into my smoker at 145-150F and smoke it until it reaches about 80F internal, then take it out and finish it in my 400F cast iron pan. Delicious!!!

This channel is slowly weaning me off my dependence on measured and thorough recipes to do any sort of actual cooking and I can’t express enough how much I appreciate it! (my wife does too. Lol) Still consider myself a through-and-through novice in the kitchen so far (still set off the smoke alarm sometimes) but I am becoming less cautious and more adventurous by the day! Thanks, Chef!

[@microfuel]

I really get a lot out of your videos, Chef Jean-Pierre. They are exactly at the sweet spot, not too complicated, not oversimplified. I had bought a thermometer to cook steaks a point and wondered about the core temperature only rising by a couple of degrees when leaving the meat outside for an hour. I'm glad I finally heard a professional voice what I had been wondering about myself. By the way: I firmly believe that you making us better cooks helps save more relationships than any marriage councelor ever could, so thank you for that, too :-)

I've been away from my family for a long time. I watch videos for cooking because I will be entertaining my family soon and this is the best video I have watched in weeks.

[@je5485]

Thank you Jean Pierre! I told my friends when they come over for dinner how important it is to add salt to the steak 24hrs prior cooking it, they didn't believe that makes a difference. I have this video to show them now. I have learned with chef Jean-Pierre in a old video, you don't move your steak too much while in the pan and it's really true. The thermometer will help you control the temperature without having to cut a piece or to move it too much. When you let it cook like that, the brown color is better and the oven makes it release the protein (juice) from the top and the bottom that are crispy, but the juice in the middle where it's pink is still there until it lays on your plate and cut it. We never get bored watching your videos. They are instructive and funny. Bon appetit!

So tonight, just a bit ago, my husband and I used this recipe exactly on a 2+” thick prime grade New York strip. Weighed about 1.5 lbs. Salted and sat on a rack over a smaller baking sheet for 30 hours chilling. I kept peeking at it, in 15 minutes the exterior was lit with big fat liquid spots, like tears, the kosher salt still showing in spots. Then it slowly began disappearing back into the meat dry aging but just for a day plus. We cooked it exactly as stated and it was hands down THE BEST STEAK - and I’m not a NY strip fan, but hubs is. He’d thought it might be too rich, the final application of garlicky herb butter basted at the end, and then we waited another 10 minutes and dove in. “Perfection”, said the steak connoisseur, preferring well aged but not to a handy state beef. It was so tender and perfectly cooked. It really is the only way to cook a steak! Chef? You’ve taught me so much, and on my own time. I can’t thank you enough! We are foodies. Love GOOD food. Your skills, innate talents and expertise are all so well displayed here; you do things I wouldn’t have thought of doing - and you explain WHY at each step, making for a lot of thought processing for you while you’re cooking!, but SO valuable to your viewers. And every recipe I’ve tried really is outstanding. 😊❤️😊❤️😊 we love you, Chef Jean-Pierre. I’m off to relax and savor that meal. 😀

I followed your advice on salting steaks sooner rather than later, as well as not using too much salt...and the results were AMAZING. My steaks were at least as good as anything I've had in most restaurants. I can't thank you enough for making these videos, Chef! YOU DA MAN! Thank you again!

[@allenmarshall9061]

I used Mediterranean sea salt large grain. I put to much. Used clarified Ghee butter, no problems there. Used a 80 year old thick/heavy cast iron skillet. Finished off in oven at 350 degrees. Cooked 1 1/2” thick prime Filet from the “Fresh _____T”. Sautéed mushrooms, onions and fresh sliced garlic in Ghee butter in a separate skillet. Next time a light sprinkle of salt. Just because I have been to the Mediterranean sea salt farm off the the coast of Nice, France and started working as a grill cook when I was 18 (1966)and cooked in Chicago, London and New Orleans. Retired in 2013. There will always be things that happen in the kitchen. But for me is when the ovens fail. It doesn’t matter what you prepared or how good it is. Your done!

[@debrablackwell9152]

First time to watch Chef JeanPierre. I love his accent! I will definitely be preparing my steak 24 hours before I actually cook it. So much learned from this video. Thank you Chef Jean Pierre for sharing your wisdom with us. God BLess you from USA.

[@SanchoKobe]

Just had the opportunity to cook some filet mignon using this video as a guide. It was my first attempt and they turned out pretty good. I left them in the oven a little too long because I wasn't using the thermometer correctly at first so they were well done but still juicy and tender enough to be cut with a butter knife. The dry brining works wonderfully as they were perfectly seasoned. I cooked two in a package of four so the next two will be perfect! Thanks chef!

There are not to many times we like to stumble, but on this occasion so glad I did, Gordon Ramsey Pah! Jamey Oliver Pah! and all the others Pah! I got totally absorbed not only with the cooking but Jean-Pierre's personality, a first class Chief but obviously someone who loves to teach, many of the chiefs we see on TV nowadays are all about their own ego's but I don't find that here, if you lack confidence then here you'll feel relaxed and confident and eager to get going. Now ploughing through the back log of videos.

[@K31TH3R]

This is exactly how I cooked my steak for years. However, recently, I've tried another method and I now prefer it to this method. Mainly because of 16:41, see that gray band beneath the crust around the pink center? If you follow this method, you can get rid of that, and get a perfectly soft and uniform pink steak all the way through, right up to the crunchy crust. 1. As Jean-Pierre said, as soon as you get your steaks, take it out and salt it thoroughly. I'd suggest doing 5-6 minimum at a time because of the next step which may surprise you..... 2. Here's where it differs: After about 45 minutes, when you see the moisture no longer on the surface of the meat, you're going to wrap your steaks TIGHTLY in freezer paper, and then you are going to freeze the steaks in your freezer. It needs to be wrapped VERY tight so you have a smooth cooking surface when you take them out. (I know, it sounds blasphemous, but, just try and stay with me, because I promise it's worth doing.) 3. Freeze the steaks for as long as you want, but I'd suggest not going much beyond 4-6 months. 4. When you're ready to cook one of your steaks, turn your oven on and set it to 250 degrees. Then get your nice cast iron or thick stainless steel skillet, and get it HOT HOT, 450-475 degrees, and then add your oil. I also recommend Jean-Pierre's choice of avocado oil, although sunflower oil is another great tasting alternative with a high smoke point. Unwrap one of your steaks and immediately put it in your skillet straight from the freezer, and then sear for 2:30-3 minutes on EVERY side (including edges) to develop your crust. This is a 10-12 minute process in total. The goal is to have a nice crust on the outside while the inside remains frozen. Don't worry about overhandling the steak, because it's still frozen on the inside, just focus on getting that uniform crust on all sides. 5. Now you're going to take it out of your skillet and transfer it into a small baking pan, and you're going to smother the steak in garlic butter, along with your any of your preferred herbs and aromatics, and you're going to bake the steak for 30-50 minutes (again depending on how thick it is), flipping it every 10-15 minutes and spooning your seasoned butter on the steak until you reach the 135-140 degrees on your thermometer (for medium rare.) 6. Let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting. When you cut it, you'll see that you now have a completely uniform pink on the inside with no gray brand, just a stark contrast between a crunchy browned outer crust and pink tender interior. I've tried a lot of methods of cooking steak, and while the method shown here makes an excellent steak and it takes less time, I've been truly convinced that the freezing method does make the definitively perfect steak. Give it a try, I promise you will not be disappointed.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Years ago I had a dairy business so I was often in restaurant kitchens. In one particular French cuisine cuisine I learned how they cooked filet mignon and how they made a thin filet into a thicker filet. This chef would press the sides of the steak decreasing the circumference and so making it thicker. He said it also tenderized it even more by breaking the fibers. Well I don't do that to my steaks but like you I cook it in hot oil and add butter. Small steaks 5-7 ounces. Medium rare for me. Thanks for the great video!
