|
Ingredients
- 1 Porterhouse Steakno more than 1.5″ thick
- 1TBSP olive oil
- 1TEA Saltto taste
- 1TEA Pepperto taste
Instructions
- Let the steak rest for not less than 20 – 30 minutes to bring the steak to room temperature
- Rub the cast iron skillet with olive oil
- Season the steak. You can really use whatever you want but I recommend using powder spices. Salt & Pepper alone is fine. If you want something different, try our Big Tasty Steak Rub.
- Turn heat on high and let pan get hot…..real hot! You will know it’s ready when the oil begins to smoke or you can place a drop of water on the pan and it evaporates quickly.
- Place steak in pan and let cook 3 – 4 minutes / side depending on thickness and desired temperature. If the steak is over 1.5″ thick, you will need to use an oven to finish. See our Filet Mignon in a Cast Iron Skillet recipe for steaks greater than 1.5″ thick.
- Once it has reached the desired temperature, remove from skillet and let steak rest for 5 minutes.
- Final Step – enjoy ‘ya tasty steak!
