One of my co-workers (who shall remain nameless - but he knows who he is) has been yammering ALL WEEK about steak, sauce, potato...yadda yadda yadda...blah blah blah....
I couldn't help myself.
Tonight, I bought a porterhouse.
Oven to 450ยบ. Steak seasoned lightly with some secret seasonings (and of course salt) and combo cooked. I have AB to thank for teaching me to enjoy a steak that is not cooked over direct flame.
So - Here is the steak before the pan...The rub is just hanging out waiting for the pan...salt bringing water to the surface to help make that oh so good crusty crispy browned goodness....
Into the pan....of course you KNOW I was going to use cast iron. It retains heat like no-one's business and you can get it space shuttle hot without worrying....AND you can put it right into the oven. Anyway - side one!
Two minutes...by the way, it's an electric stove cranked up to make maximum heat! If you have gas, same same. Maximum heat. Two minutes later:
THEN into the oven. If you want rare, 2 minutes per side in the oven. If you want medium rare, three minutes per side in the oven.
When you are done, serve with steamed veggie (I chose broccoli today) and a baked potato.
It was guuuuuuud! (and rare by the way)
Enjoy!
