Five Rules For a Perfect Steak

Don't sweat cooking steaks...they are really pretty easy. Here are 5 rules that I follow for just about every steak I cook to get them to come up perfect every time.

1) Know your steak: Filet, New York, Ribeye, etc, all have different qualities and subtleties that you should account for to cook them perfectly
2) Season the Steak well: Most people don't use enough salt & pepper. Don't skimp
3) Get a good sear on both sides: Use a hot pan to get the steaks browned on both sides, without over cooking the center
4) Know your doneness: Use the hand pressure technique to gauge how cooked the steak it. Or a meat thermometer. Don't cut it open.
5) Let it rest: Gotta give the steak some time for the juices to settle before you cut into it.

There's lot of other tips and tricks...but these 5 rules are pretty universal for cooking a steak on the grill, in the pan, in the oven.

Nice steak, looks very tasty. Hardly big enough to share though, that's a one person bone in rib-eye buddy!

[dannynewnun]

@robpal555 ha ha...fair enough. Get a grill and make two!

Great instructions. OMG. I was a bit nervous. Cooking for the in-laws & all. But I must saw, that is the best steak I've ever made. My wife's family loved it. Hell, we may have gotten the other husbands in trouble too. Lol. Thanks.

oh wow!!!yummy!!!

what kinda of pan do you use???awesome!!

[dannynewnun]

@BlackSwanSoul29 I've got some All Clad, but the most important thing is to use a heavy pan. Cast Iron is probably the best. If the pan is too think, it's harder to get the right amount of consistent heat into the steak.

i am a cook too much salt bro

[dannynewnun]

@ptangboy That's a awesome way to cook a great steak. Tough for people who live in apartment buildings through.

Do not wrap the steak in foil. It starts to boil...

[RoboTalker1]

Doneness?

[robpal555]

No worries, I got one of those as well. Nice video, and thanks for sharing. You did a lot of people who need help a service with it! Also, don't worry about all those fault finding losers who post....they don't know and can't cook!

[marcelraffoul11]

@BrockSteel mothers are usually terrible cooks. Never listen to them

@Bornto420 Well, arent we the nice noncondescending person... you were almost on a roll, but those last 4 words shows how little you know. if you wrap it, you lose the crunchyness, doesnt matter when you do it. Dont cover the steak. It has got nothing to do with "caramelizing flavors" that is being "pulled". Dumb ass.
