Thread: Preparing a Steak

For the fellas staying indoors for the winter, all hope is not lost in preparing a nice steak.

As I'm getting a little older, I have been trying to to learn a little more about cooking and enjoy putting a decent meal together on the weekends.

I acquired a nice cast iron frying pan a couple of years ago and it has become my favorite indoor cooking tool.
The missus and I usually split a nice strip loin steak and a few glasses of wine on the weekends.

Generally, I pull the steak out in the morning and season with Garlic powder and New York Steak Spice
I preheat the pan for a while (20 mins or so) to get it nice and warm
Next (once the taters are near baked at 425 in the oven) I turn the heat up on the pan.
Once the pan is nice and hot, I put my pre-seasoned steak in and sear both sides nicely.
You should be able to see pink yet on the sides.
Then, pop it in the oven for 10 minutes with the taters.
Pull it out and a nice (pink inside) medium, melt in your mouth steak

I realize this might be pedestrian for some more domestic fellas,, but i thought i'd share.
Best damned steak I've had that wasn't off my BBQ.

Best regards,
Mike
