FAQ
Why is it important to dry the steak before cooking?
Drying the steak helps achieve a better sear by reducing moisture, which can interfere with browning.
Can I use a different type of oil for searing?
Yes, you can use other high smoke point oils such as canola or grapeseed oil, but vegetable oil is an excellent choice.
What is the best way to know when the steak is done?
Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate method; check the internal temperature for your desired doneness.
Why should I let the steak rest after cooking?
Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy cut.
What does “slice against the grain” mean?
Slicing against the grain means cutting perpendicular to the direction of the muscle fibers, which makes the steak more tender.
