Learn the burning temp of olive oil. U burnt it an lost the flavor. Use real butter ya dumbshit

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.

Try using an oil with higher smoke point such as avocado oil. Olive oil has low smoke point and burns very quickly. Hence the smoke.

Pat dry out of frig at least 20 mins., used Kosher salt a little thyme and rubbed in small amount of Avocado Oil, pepper. Got the pan very hot with more oil. Cooked just like you did, with butter towards the end. One of the very best steaks I ever made. Somebody said "is this porterhouse?" It was AMAZING! I pass on the garlic, it burns too easy. Thanks for making this video! GREAT JOB...CHEERS!

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.

It was a Birthday dinner for my mother & I and it was an awesome success.

Then I put it all on top of a bed of homemade mashed potatoes. Delicious💜

[@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

[@ryanmayacooks]

yep this is so true!

[@lawrencerutkowski1205]

Nice video! Although I love olive oil, I only use oils with a high smoke point. Grapeseed (like you mentioned), Avocado, canola, peanut etc. Typically Avocado, but my olive oil always smokes far too much.

[@MrDaewood]

I didn't have any canola oil so was annoyed with myself

[@CarnivorePaul]

All good except the omega 6 oil. Canola and vegetable is even worse. Tallow or butter 👍

[@willaerley7140]

👍🏻 Clarified butter for the higher smoke point.

[@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 👌🤤

[@06junebug]

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'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

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)

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

Only issue was using the garlic powder which burns easily, creating a bitter flavor

[@minkowski4d]

also pepper. Just use salt. Spices later...

[@markjulian]

Instead of garlic powder, throw in full cloves of garlic with the butter stage. It makes the butter full of garlic numnums, and in whole clove form doesn't burn. That zucchini would LOVE that butter too. FYI- don't actually eat the garlic cloves unless you are one of those people. LOL.

“Always use a towel. I’m here using my shorts.” lol that’s the silliest most dude thing I ever heard.

Tried it- turned out great! Only thing I might change next time is to use real garlic instead of garlic powder.

[@ryanmayacooks]

Yeah! I do that all the time. If you have it, use it

[@brucekuehn4031]

But it’s very easy to over-cook garlic and then it tastes bitter, not yummy!

Thanks for cooking that steak 🥩 with us!

A lot of burnt seasoning, seasoning should be added just before you baste. This prevents burning the seasoning and use the butter to rehydrate the seasoning during basting. Salt only when you sear.

Looked great! I would have seasoned and let that salt work for about 2 hours before cooking. I wonder how asparagus would be in that butter mix...mmmm. Good job!
