The Best Way to Season a Steak



cooking tips list



There are many reasons to season steaks before grilling. Salt can be a great flavor enhancer. However, it's important that your steak is not too salty. A salty meat won't sear as evenly as a well-seasoned one. Try a mixture of herbs, lemon juice and cayenne pepper with kosher salt or seasoned-salt. These tips will help you choose the right steak seasoning.

When seasoning steaks, the first thing to do is ensure it's at room temperatures. After the meat has been brought to room temperature, season it with salt and let it sit for at most 40 minutes. Some recipes call for cooking the steak within 15 minutes. But you'll still get a juicy steak by waiting that long. Whether you use olive oil or a neutral oil, there are a few general rules.

How to cook steak

The right cooking method for any type of meat depends on its thickness. Thicker steaks cook best at low heat. Thicker steaks require higher temperatures.

They will lose their flavor if they are overcooked. And remember always to remove the steak from the pan when it's done - this way, you won't burn yourself.

The size and desired doneness of the steak will affect the cooking time. Here are some guidelines to help you get started:

Medium Rare: Cook the meat until it reaches medium rare (63°C). This should take between 3 and 5 min per side.

Medium: Cook until medium. This means that the internal temp has reached 160 degrees F (71 degrees Celsius). This usually takes only 6 minutes per side.

Well Done: Cook until well done, which means the internal temps reach 180degF (82degC). This takes between 8 and 12 minutes per side.
