How to Cook the Perfect Steak at Home

Choose Your Cut

  • Ribeye: Most marbled, richest flavor
  • NY Strip: Balance of flavor and tenderness
  • Filet Mignon: Most tender, mildest flavor
  • Sirloin: Best value, good flavor

The Reverse Sear Method

1. Season steak generously with salt and pepper

2. Place on a wire rack in a 250°F oven

3. Cook until internal temp hits 115°F (about 45 minutes)

4. Heat a cast iron skillet until screaming hot

5. Sear 1 minute per side

6. Rest 5-10 minutes

Temperature Guide

  • Rare: 120°F
  • Medium Rare: 130°F (recommended)
  • Medium: 140°F
  • Medium Well: 150°F
  • Well Done: 160°F+

Essential Tips

  • Bring steak to room temperature before cooking
