The Perfect Steak


This picture does not do this steak justice!!!  I love a steak every now and again but I always have used A-1 sauce to inhance the flavor...that was until I learned how to cook a steak properly from the pioneer woman.  This steak basically melts in your mouth and no steak sauce is needed.
The best part (other than how scrumptious it tastes) is how easy it is to cook, so let's give it a try...

All you will need is:


steak (my favorite is a ribeye)
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Lemon Pepper
butter/mararine
Yep, that's it :)

I purchased this new cast iron grill recently and this is my 1st time using it.  Previously I have used a George Forman grill which worked out great.  


Here it is.  Now I like a steak grilled on the bbq but this is not the time, it doesn't work with this technique.  I placed it over 2 of the gas burners and turned it on high to get it good and hot.


Next, sprinkle a generous amount of Lawry's on one side.


Then the lemon pepper.


Coat the grill with butter.


Let the butter get a little brown and then turn your burners down to medium heat.  (The blur is from the steam coming from the grill)


Place the steak on the grill like the picture shows.  Cook for about 3 minutes.


Then rotate each steak 90 degrees in order to get the criss cross affect.  Cook for another 2 minutes. The time may vary depending on the thickness of your steak and the temperature of your stove.


Flip them.  I forgot to turn my stove top to medium (it still turned out awesome tho)  Cook for 2-5 minutes


Rotate them once again and cook for another 2 minutes.

I can usually tell if they are done by looking at the side (not top or bottom...the side heehe)
I suggest you let them rest for a couple minutes before you cut into them.  


I like my steak medium to medium rare.  A little pink on the inside.  No steak sauce needed here!!!

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
