Chef’s Tip: The best broil happens when there is air moving beneath your steaks combined with the heat from above — that’s why broiler pans are ventilated. If you’re not using a true broiler pan, place your steaks on an elevated rack or directly on the rack (with foil down below to catch the mess).
Cooking steaks in a pan is actually rather elegant — you don’t need any special equipment, any hidden knowledge, or any fancy ingredients. Just a steak, a good pan, a little oil, and seasoning. The most important thing to do when pan-searing a steak is to pay attention to what’s happening, make adjustments, and be patient. Here’s the breakdown:
Broiling steaks is as easy as cooking steaks on the grill, and it’s a great way to finish multiple steaks the exact same way (because your pan’s probably not that big). An oven broiler is basically an upside-down grill — it’s a setting that runs only the top heating element of your oven very, very hot so you can cook with direct heat. So, broiling a steak is like grilling a steak from above.
“Sous vide” is quickly becoming a popular way to cook steak at home for its ease and precision. Restaurants have been making sous vide steak for years, but new, accessible machines like the Anova Precision Cooker bring the technique home to you. Food, like steak, is sealed in a plastic bag and then that bag cooks in precision-heated water. The best thing about a sous-vide steak is that it will be exactly your favorite temperature, edge to edge. You can’t get that any other way.
Chef’s Tip: Arroser or Butter-Basting your steak is an easy to take pan-cooking to the next level. During the last couple minutes, of cooking, heat your pan back to medium and add a couple tablespoons of butter and some fresh garlic and herbs. As the butter melts and browns, spoon it over your steak to add juiciness and flavor.
