Gather your stuff
* maters * shrooms * rosemary * garlic * steaky steak (get dry aged, k?)
Do some prep
* butter * cut stuff if you want it cut * rosemary can stay rosemary
Let yo steak be room temperature
Preheat cast iron skillet in oven (450+)
* to get maximum hotness, oh yeaaa
If you haz NY Strip, score fat like hrrr
* prevents some amount of curling
Salt and pepper – lots!
* most falls off in the pan, so go wild * do this right before cooking * salting early does some weird stuff to meat (pulls moisture out)
Grease your meat
* use oil with high smoke point
Make vegetables to pretend like you’re an adult
* olive oil, in the pan * drop your stuff in like so * sprinkly salt and pepper * low – med heat, and you can’t possibly mess this up
Pan on the stove
* Steak in the pan * .. and leave it the fuck alone * 3-4 min. per side for medium (on this particular steak)
Flip steak
* marvel at crust * veggies in the back, don’t need no tending * 3-4 more min. for steaky
* butter * rosemary * garlic * spoon over amaze-sauce on top
Put your fancy stuff on top of steak
* do this to prevent burning everything into blackness * off-camera, flip steak on side to cook fatty side at the end for a minute or so to render it down
Off the heat, and let steaky rest
* foil it up * don’t wrap too tight or you steam away your crunchy crust * rest 5 minutes+ * depends on patience at this point
Veggies, don’t give a fuck
* impossible to mess up * they can do this all day * low heat
Reveal your man food
* unintentional god-lighting
Cut open to reveal the sexy
* Entirely optional, can leave whole * I do it for plating pretty-ness
