Seared Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet (not a nonstick) over medium-high until it begins to smoke. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season each side with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper.
• Cook steak in skillet over medium-high heat until a dark crust has formed, 5 to 7 minutes per side (reduce heat if meat is browning too quickly). Holding steak with tongs, quickly brown all edges, turning as necessary; lay steak flat in skillet.
• Transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of steak registers desired doneness, 5 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; spread with 1 tablespoon Steak Butter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes (temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees). Slice across the grain; serve with remaining Steak Butter. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers, up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Place steaks side by side in large casserole dish. Add orange juice, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove casserole dish from refrigerator. Cover steaks with plastic wrap and let reach room temperature, at least 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
• Place steaks on a clean work surface and generously rub with steak seasoning and black pepper.
• Cook steaks in the hot skillet until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and red in the center, about 2 minutes more. Place skillet, with steaks, into the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink to lightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read from 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove steaks from oven; season with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. A half-hour before cooking, remove steak from refrigerator.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Add oil to hot skillet and when it begins to smoke add steak. Reduce heat slightly and cook steak until browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the steak registers 120 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Cut steak from the bone and carve meat across the grain.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F/95°C.
• Pat the steak dry with a paper towel, and generously season all sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, and bake for about 45 minutes to an hour, until the internal temperature reads about 125°F/50˚C for medium-rare. Adjust the bake time if you like your steak more rare or well-done.
• Heat the canola oil in a pan over high heat until smoking. Do not use olive oil, as its smoke point is significantly lower than that of canola oil and will smoke before reaching the desired cooking temperature.
• Sear the steak for 1 minute on one side, then flip.
• Add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme, and swirl around the pan. Transfer the garlic and herbs on top of the steak and baste the steak with the butter using a large spoon.
• Baste for about 1 minute, then flip the steak with tongs and baste the other side for about 15 seconds.
• Turn the steak on its side and cook to render off any excess fat.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• If time allows remove steaks from packaging, dry with paper towels, put on a plate and refrigerate a day or two. If not, wrap in paper towels and set on counter about 30 minutes. (If you're really in a hurry, just proceed.)
• Heat oven to 500 degrees (550 if possible), and set a rack in the lowest position, unless skillet can be placed directly on oven floor. Place a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold steaks without crowding over high heat, and heat until smoking. Sprinkle surface of pan with coarse salt, and put steaks in. Smoke will billow up; wearing a thick oven mitt, immediately transfer skillet to oven.
• Roast steaks, turning once, about 4 minutes a side for medium rare, or until browned and cooked to preferred doneness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and let rest 3 to 5 minutes. Slice steaks or cut each into two pieces, and serve.

Steps:

• Pat the meat dry using paper towels.
• Season the steak/s with black pepper, then allow the meat to sit at room temperature for 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat or just until the oil begins to lightly smoke.
• Cook/sear the steak in the heated skillet over medium-high heat until a dark crust has formed (about 5-6 minutes per side, reduce the heat if the meat is browning too quickly, if you prefer a lighter outside crust then reduce the time slightly).
• After the 5-6 minutes cooking on each side you may lift the steak with tongs and brown the edges also.
• Return the steak flat in the pan.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads to desired doneness (oven cooking time will be anywhere from 5-15 minutes depending on the desired doneness of your steak --- for medium-rare 140-145 degrees and for medium 155-160 degrees. please be aware that the temperature will continue to cook after removing the steak so it is advised to pull the pan out slightly before the desired doneness).
• Transfer the steak to a plate using tongs (do not use a fork or the juices will run out).
• Spread the top with butter then season lightly with salt.
• Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest about 5-6 minutes.
• Slice across the grain.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Season steaks with garlic, powder, salt, and pepper.
• Turn on your exhaust fan. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking, 4 to 6 minutes. Sear steaks in the hot oil for about 3 minutes.
• Turn steaks over and immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook until steaks are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
• Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil to the skillet and fry the steak over medium heat, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the steak to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
• Add the bourbon to the skillet and, over medium heat, scrape up any bits that cling to the pan. Allow the liquor to simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the onions and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until the onions are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and stir in any juices that have run off from the steak.
• To serve, cut the steak into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top with the onions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Liberally season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat the canola oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes, until a golden brown crust forms. Flip the steaks and sear for 1-2 minutes on the other side, then add the butter, shallot, garlic, and thyme to the pan. Baste the steaks with the butter and continue cooking for 2 more minutes.
• If the steak isn't cooked to your liking, transfer to the oven and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired temperature.
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Brush both sides of the steaks with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and sear on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and sear on the second side for 3 to 4 minutes for rare, 5 to 8 minutes for med. Serve hot.
