It really is easy. Sure there are a lot of ways to try and add some flavor to the crust, but really this is all you need. I made the one in the pic last night and thought I'd do a post about it. A lot of people seem scared to try this; they think because it's so delicious it must be hard.
- cuts of beef tenderloin
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive Oil
- Cast Iron Pan
Quality beef and the cast iron pan are must haves. When it comes satisfying the craving for a good steak, my opinion is go for the tenderloin every time. The key to cooking it right is heat, heat, heat. A cast iron pan can get surface of the sun hot and retain that heat, even on an electric burner. The tenderloin must be cut thick, at least 3cm or an inch and a quarter, and can be cut twice as thick if you want(I want).
That's it. Done.
Here's a couple pics of some thicker ones I cooked awhile back.
Here are a couple things I'll add when I feel like it. Add fresh rosemary with the salt and pepper. I actually sprinkled some dried rosemary on the ones above but honestly it doesn't really do anything. Needs to be fresh.
A nice one is to add garlic butter. Melt the butter and press some garlic into it. Then pour the butter on each side of the steak for it's last minute in the pan. Pour some of the butter on the steak once it's on the plate too. It's true, butter makes everything better. Except for that movie Last Tango In Paris, ewww.
So, get good meat, let it get to room temp, add oil salt and pepper, use a hot-ass pan, turn it every minute, no more than 5 minutes per side.
Enjoy.
Oh, It's look so juicy man. i hope i can cook same as you. Or I gonna visit your home to eat tasty perfect steak.
This saves my life! Looks so tasty! Can I also use the normal pan? Otherwise I'm hitting the town for the cast iron pan now.
Great :-) you can use a normal pan but it may not be as juicy and may destroy your pan, it's gotta be hot! i got that pan on taobao for less than 200rmb so i recommend that ;-)
ah..... now I miss taobao. I'll get a similar one and start making steaks!
haha I keep forgetting you're not in china... now you're a laowai :-) It's because i just think of anyone on wechat as being in china. well yeah i'm sure you can find a good pan there.
:D hahahah I'm indeed a laowai now.
How many upvotes for a steak like that!? It looks amazing! Making me hungry!
Well if you didn't know how before now you can make one in just a few minutes :-)
I really want to! Beef in South Korea is crazy expensive though. =P
do you know any expats with restaurants? I used to get in on my friend's bulk orders of aussie beef for his restaurant
I did when I lived in Gimhae, now I live in Ulsan where the expat count is a lot lower. Need to make some new friends with cool places around here =)
That sounds like the best way to cook a steak. I have always bungled it and end p with a leathery piece of meat with great taste. lol
I will have make it hotter and flip it more often. Good tips.
If you don't have garlic butter you can add good ol' butter and one glove of garlic. When you're finished you throw it away.
And let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
this foods are looks like beautiful and more testy ,nice photography
Thank you
Eso se ve delicioso
gracias!
Wow, although I have never tasted this food, but it looks like this food is very tasty, it is perfect if we invite friends or relatives to enjoy it.
yep, anyone will love it. except vegetarians ;-)
What is vegetarian?
haha I could answer that a few ways. I will be nice, they are someone who does not eat meat. In fairness, I was one for a few years back in the day.
Oh
A person who can't hunt.
How long have you had that cast iron pan? It really makes a difference when cooking meat like steak. Delish post!
I probably should have included how to treat the iron pan. I'll do it here, it's very easy, even if you buy it brand new.
NOTE - you don't have to do this everytime you use it. Also, don't leave water in it or it will rust. if it does you just scrape of the rust and oil it again. When you wash it with water and you're done, just turn the heat on for a few minutes and all the water will evaporate.
Wow...best. i like your post.
thanks
Two things I would add:
1.) Never, and I mean NEVER poke your steak with a fork to turn in over. This will damage the meat and the juices will run out. Sure way to make it chewy.
2.) After the steak is perfect and before you serve it, always let the meat sit for 5 minutes minimum. This will allow the juices to redistribute inside the steak and prevent them from leaving the meat asap once you cut the first piece off.
Voila. You have your perfect steak. Enjoy!!
Yep, I should have mentioned you need a good pair of tongs
Wish I was there to share that...and have a great juicy bite! lol :)

couldn't have said it better myself.
I don't get what he's doing. But he has done this weird copy/paste thing a few times now. Flagged it due to him just copying and pasting from your OP and having done it to others as well. Just doesn't make sense and is what I call a "shit post."
