Finally did that steak....

So, I finally made my ribeye....it turned out quite good. Not much to say about it other than that I am accustom to having the oven and stove fan vent outside. This particular method presents a difficulty in that it smokes something fierce.

The alarm went off.

The problem with this little inconvenience is that everyone in the three apartments around me KNOW now, that I have done something wrong with the stove. In reality, it is just the way this cooks.

This steak is done in a 500 degree oven for two minutes per side for medium rare. Needless to say, I chose the 1 minute per side for a rare steak. So - cast iron pan into the oven to get to 500 degrees and once there, the pan comes out to the stove which should be on the highest setting. 30-45 seconds per side to give it a good crust and then into the oven for the 2 minutes (or one if you like steak done right!) and then flip and your second time. Once it's done, out of the oven and into a wrapping of foil to rest and finish cooking.

The preview pictures are small since the post is small, but remember that when you click on them, you get the full size.

















Enjoy!

This Friday, I am making my award winning chili. Yay!
