I have a new Staub grill pan exactly like you’re using. I can’t wait to cook my first thick NY steak on it and my husband’s favorite filet mignon. Your video is fab! I love the way you explained every step and your recipe for the topping. Thanks!!

[@amateurastronomer9463]

I'm a professional chef and I never add pepper before I grill or pan sear. Pepper burns at 325°F. Most pans and grills are much hotter then that. When grilling and searing, I add pepper when resting. Plus the pepper if you grind it yourself, will give it a fresh ground taste.

Agreed, nice grillmarks. But what about the fat on the side? You definitely want that to be nice and crisp! Also, from the way that looked, it was probably still pretty rare instead of mid-rare...

[@bigbrotherisasob]

Only way to cook a steak. Was taught this way when I was 14. One additional spice I use besides the original brushing with oil, the salt and the pepper is some oregano. Dynamite every time.

seared beef fat is where the flavor is. should have done the side

[@brett174]

Yes. In my opinion he should have held it fat side down first to render the fat. Rendered fat = delicious - raw fat = yuck.

[@Ryanmonts]

CptStankFanger that's what I was thinking. And toss the bleu cheese

[@kevinkatz7027]

I'm thinking that blue cheese might not be too bad, would have toned it down a bit though...

[@elliotleifer718]

And , if you save the trimmed fat, add it to the pan to sear and render it along with the cooking steak.

With respect to the resting part, is the plate preheated? Will the meat not cool down to much?

[@IchiroFuma]

jeroensonnemans It should be. You don't put hot food onto cold plates and vice versa.

[@anthonyguada]

Salut Chef *Question from Montreal, Quebec* At what temp should a steak be removed from the heat? When looking for that sweet spot of 130F - 135F of internal temp? You told us not to *remove the product* when the internal temp is AT 130F-135F as the product will continue to cook as it sits on the plate resulting in an internal temp way above said 130F-135F Also, Being a Le Cordon Bleu Chef what is the most difficult meal for a Chef of your caliber to create? How long does it take to successfully completed a course of study or training, at Le Cordon Bleu Cooking School? Being a PROUD Canadian, I would like to attend the Le Cordon Bleu Cooking School in Canada. I was happy to find there is a school in Ottawa Ontario Canada, just an hour's drive for me, whew I was thinking France LOL Meric Chef -Anthony-

[@itzamia]

Salut Sous Chef Anthony, Depends on the thickness of the steak, but resting will bring it up to 3-5 degrees (give or take) on a thick steak. He probably took it off around 128F-130F while letting it rest for the 3-5 minutes. In Canada, your rule of thumb would be to rest the meat for 1 minute per every 100 grams.

[@artemassilwanus6558]

Enak....

[@perfectsmoked1674]

Great internet content! It looks really expert! Sustain the great work!

[@dracolnyte]

fyi, salt doesnt melt with those temperature, they dissolve from the juices of the meat. Salt melts at 800 degrees celcius (1,400F), which is a lot hotter than what the average kitchen appliance can achieve

[@IchiroFuma]

dracolnyte lol. Of course. I doubt they meant it actually melts. Though the whole reason to use a finishing salt like that is more for presentation purposes. Why they'd put the brown butter on top of it like that is beyond me. If you'd really insist on using it, cheese, then butter, and then the finishing salt makes much more sense in my opinion.

After resting, does it reach not hot enough to the table? Should you keep it in a warm place so it does not get cold?

You should cover it with foil while it rests. The internal, or inside temperature will continue to go up another 5° to 10°.

What is your thought about searing steak and finishing it in the oven?

[@theige01]

I’ve done sear then oven often and it’s really good and more predictable oven is set to a known temp.

[@TheIkaika777]

According to some the best way is the reverse sear, low temp and slow cooking in the oven and then the high sear at the end.

[@bigbrotherisasob]

Not necessary if done right

[@justincowley1088]

Pro tip don't cook on high heat with olive oil unless you want to burn your oil and leave a nasty taste on your food. Olive oil has a low smoke point, and is typically not good with the heat associated in sauteing or grilling. - sincerely, a chef at "Dolce" in Omaha, NE

[@ehiggins7476]

Is avocado oil a good choice for searing a steak?

[@kstailey56]

Yes, completely agree, if in a pan, I cut off the fatty end of a Ribeye and let that melt, cook for a couple minutes in the pan - that is the 'oil' I use to cook. Also I add water to the butter I use to finish it off with the last minute or two, depending on how rare to Medium, etc., I (or the recipient) desire. Anyway, this has always worked well for me.

[@bigbrotherisasob]

Just brush it lightly with the olive oil

[@dejah6328]

What kind of oil do you recommend?

[@tombowers2020]

Oh Doctor, tell me more...!

[@michaeloshea3090]

I usually sear the fat on the side of the steak first to give it a nice brown color. Am I wrong?

[@mezanine10]

I can see why the is guy in an instructor. He's articulate. Good video.

[@ryanhatzenbeller1649]

The only thing that bothers me is he didn't show the after product sliced. It killed me not getting to see the inside.

[@Im2Old4ThisShite]

Because he showed how to cook it and showed the process of using a thermometer. Cutting the thing open would only serve to allow thousands of trolls to bitch about how it wasn't cooked properly. Also, most steak places don't cut your steak for you so why show a steak being served all cut up and ice cold by the time it gets to your table?

[@alabalaportocala8367]

U pervert😅🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jonnylemonjello3719]

I contemplated hopping in the car and driving to see this guy and see the steak cut (which is the logical end of ANY steak video regardless of what idiots with names like "Michael" think), but I figured he'd have eaten it long before I got thrte

[@soccerveet]

What was the internal temperature at the time you sliced that beauty? Also, showing the post-slice would have been 💯

[@1fanger]

Is that roast for one person?

[@JohnW704]

well damn you didn't even cut into it... seeing the beautiful medium rare tender juicy meat when cutting your steak is my favorite part of grilling

[@IchiroFuma]

John W He didn't cut into it because would you want a steak someone's already cut into at a restaurant? And secondly, cutting into a steak right off the grill would have the juices running everywhere making the steak dry. That's what happens when you don't rest the meat before cutting it.

[@MrAbuskeleke]

[@alexpearson8481]

Good video. Everyone says to rest the steak. I don’t buy it. The steak just cools down..I find no difference....just cold steak. I love your butter and cheese!

[@bigdchi]

wrong ou want juices to redistribute in steak. not end up on your plate with dry meat.

[@bigbrotherisasob]

Resting meat of all kinds after cooking is key.

[@onespeedlite]

The reason you might find no difference is that your steak is overcooked, so there wasn't juice left when you cut into it right away.

[@JohnnyXanax]

How did you forget to cook the fat on the side. Also you do not need a fucking thermometer, just use your fist as a guide. From the thumb (rare) to the wrist (well done). You can tell its not a quality cut since there is hardly any marbleization. Lastly, a steak will tell you its time to flip when there is no friction between the pan. I highly recommend NOT adding pepper, especially freshly ground pepper until it is out of the heat. If you must insist, use white pepper. Lastly, use a light oil, like canola, prior to cooking, EVOO will burn and will leave a sorta burnt taste on the stake.

[@seikibrian8641]

He did say that a thermometer isn't needed once one gains some experience. The thermometer is a tool that helps beginners -- those to whom this video is aimed -- get consistent results while they gain that experience. Also, the New York Strip has very thin veins of fat running through it; it's not like a ribeye that has larger globules of fat spaced further apart. The New York does, though, have more fat than, say, the tenderloin. I think if they had uploaded this video at a higher resolution you'd be better-able to see the veins of fat.

[@wilhelmtaylor9863]

8:29 - "It'll have that nice saltiness" after adding salt. Ya think?

[@missieclassy]

What about the fat on the sides? That would be where I'd start cooking to make it nice and crispy.. also it helps to render some of that for cooking the rest of the steak. Uncooked, jelly like fat is so gross. I'd also argue that on balance, that is way too much salt. That cheese would be enough on its own if you let it come to room temperature and then whipped it to make it into a couple of nice sized pats spiced with a little sweet paprika and a half teaspoon of honey. The honey balances the sharp salty cheese and the paprika gives it a little smoky something.
