- Pat dry your steak once you finish cooking your steak
Preheat Your Cast Iron Skillet
There are plenty of ways to cook your steaks in top quality condition! However, before you can begin cooking your steaks, there are a few things that you must do to prepare your steaks properly. One of the basic steps to cooking the perfect steaks is by preheating your cooking method of choice, these options are:
- Oven
- Gas, coal, or flat-top grill
- Sous vide
- Cast iron skillet
- Frying pan
Seasoning Your Prime Steaks
The best thing about cooking your steaks is being able to control the amount of flavor that goes into the steaks. Therefore, before cooking your steaks, consider what types of flavors you would like to put into your steaks. Whether you like sweet or spicy, or even salty and full of herbs, it doesn’t hurt to experiment! You can choose to season your steak with flavors like:
- Herbs
- Simple salt and pepper seasoning
- Citrus marinades
- Spicy rubs
- Milky or creamy marinades
- Chorizo de San Manuel All purpose seasoning
Choosing Your Base Flavor
When cooking your steaks, everyone agrees that using butter is the best way! Using butter as your base for cooking steaks can help create a more distinct flavor. Butter can retain the moisture of the steaks and create the perfect sear, giving your steaks the perfect crust. Although, if you prefer not to use butter for your base, other alternatives include:
- Cold pressed olive oil
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Cooking oil
