Before baby we used to go out and get a fancy meal but this year I made us one instead.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/1/3/AAdXATAAEDIl.jpg

American Wagyu tenderloin, miso butter garlic shiitake mushrooms, rice and a side of red wine and shallots sauce.

I salted the steak a few hours prior. Then seared it in a cast iron and basted it in copious amounts of butter. The result was one of the most tender steaks Ive ever had. Better than most steaks Ive had at restaurants.

Nailed the cook too

Thank you! If there is one thing I can cook really well, its steak. I dont bother with steakhouses anymore.

My method for cooking steak:

  1. Salt it a few hours with large corse salt.
  2. Get steak to room temp an hour or so before cooking
  3. Rinse off the corse salt and pat dry, then season with regular salt (not too much its already salty) and pepper. You could leave it but I found it too salty for me
  4. Heat pan with oil on medium high and get it really hot, like smoking. Then lower to medium and sear steak on each side (about 2-3 minutes). Its really important that the pan is hot enough or you wont get that nice brown crust on it.
  5. Once you have a nice brown sear, turn the heat to low and throw in half a stick of butter. Tilt the pan and baste with a spoon nonstop. Flip the steaks to cook evenly.
  6. For medium rare I go by touch. If I press into the steak and my finger doesnt get much resistance then I know its not ready. It should feel springy but not too much. If it feels too hard with little bounce then its overcooked. Or you can get a meat thermometer and check for 130-140F
  7. Let steak rest 5-10 minutes. I put a loose sheet of foil and make a tent to keep it warm

Good luck! I havent made t-bones before. Id have a hard time with those too I think. The bone kind of throws things off for me. I usually make filets, top sirloin or ribeye. But if youre worried about temp try a meat thermometer. Eventually you make it enough youll learn what it feels like when its at that temp and wont need it anymore.

I love to cook. Ill usually make simple things but every now and then its fun to try and make something gourmet. Cooking is my way of unwinding and having time for myself.

Nope. Not for me. For some reason I can cook all protein to perfection, except beef. It's my kryptonite.
