Do you wanna know how to cook the perfect medium rare steak ?
Well , look no further .
I've never messed up a steak in my life .
As a matter of fact , in my family , I wear depends when it comes to cooking steaks .
So if you wanna know how to make your steak nice and juicy and tender like mine , please watch this video .
My number one rule is that after I buy the steaks from the store , I keep them in my refrigerator for at least another 24 hours prior to cooking them .
Rule number two and the most important one .
I always take the steaks out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to cooking .
I try to get the meat as close as possible to room temperature because I want the meat and the mussels to be nice and relaxed in order to achieve soft and tender steak .
After the steaks have gotten as close as possible to room temperature , I'm gonna start seasoning them .
And just before I start doing this , I'm gonna preheat the oven to 275 F .
And when it comes to seasoning the steak , the more simple the better you have to trust me on this one , So the only things I put on my steak are salt and black pepper .
You can either use sea salt or kosher salt .
Just don't use regular table salt .
Invest a little more money for when you're cooking steaks and either buy sea salt or kosher salt .
How much salt are you ?
Meals ?
A lot , but keep in mind that I don't eat like this every day .
This is just a few days out of the year .
So if you're concerned about your health , if you eat steaks every week , I would probably cut down on the salt a little bit .
And black pepper , just black pepper to taste .
As a matter of fact , I prefer personally not to add black pepper .
As I said , the more simple the better .
In order to achieve the perfect medium rare rib eye steak , I use meat thermometer .
However , if you don't have one at the end of this video , I'm gonna put information in regard to the weight and cooking times of these two particular rib eye steaks .
So I placed the meat thermometer in the middle of the rib eye steak and away from the bone .
And as you can see on the thermometer here , the room temperature of the steak it's about 67 degrees is almost room temperature .
I think that this time inside the house , it was maybe 72 .
And now I'm going to bake the steaks in the oven at 275 F until the internal temperature reaches 127 F .
And again for those of you who do not have a meat thermometer at the end of this video , I am going to put information on how long it took to cook these two particular steaks .
Approximately 30 minutes later , the stakes have reached 127 degrees , so I'm taking them out and moving on to the next step for the searing process .
I'm using the pan that it's large enough so I can lay the steak in it flat , and it's not bending up against the walls of the pan .
Then I Sprinkle some olive oil and preheat it too high and peel the oil .
It's super hot .
Once the oil is hot enough , I'm gonna sear the steaks on each side for 45 to 50 seconds , and that's not the end of it .
After that , I'm gonna sear the edges of the steak so I can get that fatty part to get all nice and crunchy and crispy and full of goodness and deliciousness .
And time wise , I would say I spent another 45 to 50 seconds searing the edges of the steak .
And just remember that if you want it more done , you can always cook it some more .
But if you want it done , you kind of can't , um , cook it .
So just keep that in mind .
Another very important truth when you're cooking a steak is that once you take them out of the pan , you have to let them rest for 10 minutes .
Don't try to slice into them , even to check how well they're done .
Just let them be because they will continue to cook while sitting on the plate .
And you can see that these are perfectly medium rare steaks just by looking at the softness of the meat .
And now to defend and prove that bold and not very humble statement I made at the beginning of the video that I make the perfect medium rare steak and I never mess it up .
I'm just gonna slice it right on camera so you can see what it looks like .
That is the perfect pink medium rare colour .
So at this point , when you slice your steak , if you don't like the doneness , if you want it more done , you can always add it back to the pan and sear it for another 10 or 20 seconds .
Just always remember , you can cook it more , but you cannot UNC cook it .
