Smile Re: Help Perfect My Steak

About the best technique I've found is something I learned from America's Test Kitchen show on PBS. First bring the steak, if cold, to room temp by letting it sit out for 20 minutes. I then sear the steak on a stovetop, on both sides. Then I let it rest and come back to room temp, while the oven is heating. I stick in my temperature probe and put it in a 350 degree oven until it comes up to the medium rare temp, which is about 145 to 150 degrees. I take it out, cover it with tinfoil, and let it rest so the juices don't come out when you cut into it. This has made my steaks tender and juicy. Can't help with your seasoning - I just use kosher salt and pepper. Good luck!
