The key to cooking a perfect steak is how dry it is when you go to cook it. Whether on the grill, the broiler or stovetop in cast iron skillet the key is a dry steak when you go to cook it.
- The first step is to thaw your steaks. You can do this over a day or so in the refrigerator if you are not in a hurry, on the counter top in a few hours or in cool water bath in less than an hour. Leave steaks in sealed package while thawing.Second, Remove the steaks from the package. and completely dry them with a paper towel, both sides.
- Third, Place steaks on paper towel on a plate and put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, can be left in for a few hours in you are working ahead. The longer they stay in the refrigerator the dryer they become as the dehumidifier in the refrigerator continues the drying process.
- Lastly, either season right before or right after you cook your steaks. Cook on the grill, broiler or stovetop to your desired doneness.
- The key here is dry, the dryer the steaks are when they hit the grill the better the eating experience will be for you.
- You need a good dry steak to get that perfect brown char/crust.
