8 Steps to Happiness
Cooking a perfect steak has always been a challenge for me but perhaps it's somewhat due to the quality of meat I've bought and not having a BBQ — as well as never been taught. I was given a quality piece of Delmonico steak with instructions on how to cook the perfect steak from Chophouse so I thought to honor the dish I'd serve with organic vegetables from Eveleigh Farmers' Market. The steps were very simple to follow and for a novice cook like myself a blessing. I've got a very simple stove and oven but in the end the steak was very nice, well seasoned and tender to cut with minimal grizzle factor. The meat stayed quite red in colour but it was actually cooked — although perhaps I could have cooked it a little longer. I'll certainly be trying these steps on my next meat and three veg night.
Chophouse: 8 Steps to the Perfect Steak
1. Take the steak out 20 min before to temper.
2. Set the oven to 200c.
3. Heat a thick bottom frying pan to hot (no oil).
4. Undo the steak, season with olive oil, salt flakes (a nice coat of oil).
5. Place the steak in the hot pan (don not add anymore oil) and cook for 1 1/2 min on one side, turn and repeat.
6. Place in oven for 4 min and take out, rest for 8 min on a rack in a warm place.
7. Place in the oven for 1 min to reheat.
8. Slice, serve and enjoy!
