Smelling the aroma coming from the steak causes our mouths to water. There’s always something in a steak that we find so favourable. Frequently, grilling the meat over the BBQ grill gives off the best results. However, if we are cooking indoors, we can try the pan-grilling steak at home.

Directions to make steak at home
- You can marinate your steak beforehand in order to attain its flavour. So when you marinate, you can choose between seasoning the steak with spices or rubbing it with salt and pepper. Put the steak inside the refrigerator to store.
- Before you cook the steak, be sure to put it outside the refrigerator. Make sure that it is void of moisture, so using a paper towel, remove any visible moisture.
- You can simply choose from these two methods:
- Get your skillet and put it inside the oven and preheat oven into 450-degree Fahrenheit. After preheating the skillet, get it out and place it over a burner.
- Preheat your grill pan over a burner (or stove) until smoke surfaces from the pan.
- Get your steak and brush both sides with oil.
- Put the steak in the skillet or grill pan and sear each side for two minutes. (When you are using a grill pan, make sure that you position the steak in the angle where it can achieve diagonal markings. This will give your steak a wonderful design or markings.)
- Place an aluminium foil sheet over a plate while waiting for the steak.
- When you achieved that lovely brown shade, get the steak from the pan or skillet and put over the aluminium foil. Cover the steak with foil and wait for 2-5 minutes.
- Serve the steak with its own sauce and your chosen side dish.
Tips for making Steak At Home
There are some easy tips you can follow when making steak at home. The first step is to dry off the steaks. Then, you can place them on a rimmed baking sheet. Next, you should season them with salt and pepper. Once the steaks are cooked, you should turn them over and finish cooking them for another 20 minutes. Don’t forget to add the garlic butter after they’ve been seared.
You can also use the oven or stove to cook the steaks, but these methods don’t work with thin cuts. For thin cut steaks, you should pan-sear them on the stovetop and finish them in the oven. Then, you can sprinkle the meat with garlic butter. To finish the steak, you should wipe the pan with paper towels and allow the steak to cool down. After that, you can flip the steak over and sear it for another two or three minutes.
If you don’t have a stovetop, you can use an electric skillet. It will heat up your pan quickly and evenly. After the steak is seared, you can use the oven to rest it for a few minutes before placing it back in the oven. You should check the color of the steak after a few minutes. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool. You can now serve your steak at home.
Remember that the key to a great steak is not to slice the steak too thin. It will waste the taste and flavor and make your dinner more enjoyable and delicious. Don’t forget to keep the meat well-covered so it doesn’t dry out. Then, add some butter to the pan. Finally, put the corn on the cob on top. That’s it! You’ve just mastered the basic steps of making a delicious steak at home. Now, you’re ready to enjoy your meal!
After you’ve prepared the steak, you can season it with salt and pepper. After that, you can place it on a rimmed baking sheet and cook it until it’s cooked to perfection. After the steaks are seared, flip them over. You can use tongs to remove the fat from the meat. Using tongs is a good idea for the first and last step. You can also sprinkle a layer of salt and pepper on the steak before cooking it.
When making steak at home, it’s important to know what temperature you need to cook it to make it tender and delicious. Ensure that you remove the meat from the refrigerator before cooking. This will ensure that the steak cooks more evenly. During the second step, you’ll flip the steak over. Then, you’ll have the steak that you’ve been craving. When you’ve finished, serve the steaks immediately.
After you’ve cut the steaks, you should leave them to rest. You should also set aside the steak to allow the sauce to cool. The steak should be covered with foil to prevent it from drying out. Once the sauce has cooled down, you should transfer the steak to a plate. As a rule, you should make the sauce by the end of the process. If you don’t want the sauce to be too thin, you should keep the meat in the oven.
Once the steaks are cooked, the next step is to season them. To make a steak at home, you should sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper and cook it for another 30 seconds. If you’re making a thick piece of meat, you should make sure that you use two pinches of salt on both sides of the steak. After that, you should turn over the steaks again. You should flip them every 30 seconds to ensure they’re evenly cooked.
The next step in making steak is to rest the steak. The steak should be rested after the process is complete. The meat should be rested for at least 10 minutes so it can absorb the flavors of the sauce. Then, you should season the steak with bearnaise. If you’re planning to have a barbecue, this is the ideal time to grill your meat. You should season your meat with salt and pepper before serving it to guests.
