Stay tuned everyone .
I'm Eric Rao .
Welcome to Garden Fork Cooks today .
I'm gonna show you how to cook this , this the steak .
You know , and there's , I think there's some trepidation there .
A lot of people how to get it perfect , how to do it .
Right .
There's so many different ways .
I'm gonna show you how to cook this thing in a pan on your stovetop , on a week night .
All right , here we go .
First .
This is not a large stick .
A lot of the cooking shows .
You see these really thick steaks and they talk about the different ways to cook it .
This one what ?
It's maybe an , and , and I went to the store and they didn't have the thick ones .
I mean , by and large , a lot of the steaks at your grocery store are going to be like this .
This is a boneless , uh , steak ones with the bone work the same way .
All right .
The biggest thing here is I keep this in the fridge and I salt it .
Ok .
All right .
For the salting .
I like a coarse salt .
You can use what you want .
If you got the , the finer salt , use what you got both sides .
There is debate about whether your steak should be warm or cold before you cook it .
Thin steaks like this I think are best cold .
And we'll explain more about that when we throw it in a hot blazing pan .
But we've got this salted , put this back in your fridge ideally for like a half an hour .
But whatever time you have , that's what you have .
Ok ?
If you're really pressed for time , put the steak in the freezer for 10 minutes , that'll work .
Do you like steak ?
Yes .
As you can see , I don't have a range hood or a vent over my stove and when you cook steak , when you cook meats on a hot pan in your house , you know what happens .
So smoke alarms all go off .
I've got a solution for that box fan .
Box fan upside down .
So the controls are at the bottom .
This goes like this .
This goes like this .
Use this information your own risk .
Ok ?
This is not like OSHA approved or anything but oh , I gotta get to the knot .
Hold on and on .
High time to cook .
This stove has a power burner .
It's called , it's a bigger burner than usual .
But use what you got .
This is on high cast iron ideally or one of these kind , which is what I use .
You want to heat this puppy up hot .
Hot means hot .
Ok .
So what is hot ?
That's not hot enough when you can't hold your hand here .
That's hot .
Put in a couple of gloves of a high heat vegetable oil .
We let that heat up .
It's just starting to smoke .
Two minutes .
Don't turn it , just leave it right there .
So thin steaks cook very fast , which is why I put it in the fridge so that the interior of it doesn't get overdone .
And how we're gonna test it is by touching the meat .
Well , I got on my hands here but much like the inside of your thumb here .
That little part right there .
That's the softness we want of the meat after we turn it .
Ok , fire is good .
It's cooking my pan is working two things of butter .
See , I'm pressing it there .
That's , that's done up there .
This is almost done when this both sides are done .
Tilt your gravy or tilt your sauce into the edge and cook the fat edge of the steak in there .
Gotta be more flavor .
Flavor is good .
Fat means flavor .
