Before my dad moved out, he was head chef of the household. On special occasions, or whenever he was really craving steak, he would just whip one out of our freezer for all of us. Once you saw the steak defrosting, you knew that dinner that night will be big a hearty. Because of my dad, I have come to love hearty dinners: steak and potatoes. Whenever he made these delicious dinners, I would run around our hectic kitchen making side dishes, and never had time to observe his secret on how to make his steaks extra delicious. After he moved out though, I was stuck without "meat." My mom loves eating healthy, and according to her book, red meats aren't that great for my arteries. So I've been steak deprived for over two months, until my dad left me a little gift in the freezer. A while or so back, I saw a beautifully marbled, Rancher's Reserve steak gleaming in the light of my freezer. Ecstatically, I called him up asking him how to cook it up, and now I'm going to share it with you!
Jesh's Home-styled Steak
Ingredients*:
One or more pieces of steak (It can be any kind, but preferably the one with the most bang for your buck.)
Salt and Pepper
Two tablespoons of butter
* These don't really have a measurement. You go with your gut on it, as much as each you think is perfect for you.
Directions:
[Depending on Situation] Defrost your steak
1. Season your steak accordingly with Salt and Pepper
2. Let the flavors of your seasoning seep into the steak for about 15 minutes.
3. Heat up a pan on the stove, and melt the butter in it.
4. Cook steak according to your taste! (I like mine medium-rare, but with a crispy outer layer. So once its medium rare, I crank up the heat to add that lovely crisp!)
