- Thick-cut ribeye or New York strip steaks - Olive oil - Salt and pepper - Garlic cloves (optional) - Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme)
Instructions :
Preheat Your Skillet:
Start by heating your Zhongshuai cast iron skillet—recognized as one of the best cast iron skillets on the market—over high heat. Preheat to a searing 230°C for the perfect crust.
Prepare the Steaks:
Using room-temperature steaks, season with salt, pepper, and if desired, garlic. Rub with olive oil for a delicious sear that only a quality skillet like Zhongshuai's can provide.
Sear to Perfection:
Lay the steaks in the hot skillet, searing for 2-3 minutes each side. The uniform heat distribution of the skillet will ensure a consistent and savory crust.
Infuse with Herbs:
For an aromatic taste, add fresh herbs in the last minute of cooking. The cast iron's heat retention will unlock the herbs’ flavors, infusing the steak beautifully.
Rest for Juiciness:
After cooking, let your steak rest to redistribute the juices, a step made all the better by the heat retention qualities of a high-end cast iron skillet.
Serve with Pride:
Slice against the grain and serve from a skillet that comes with over a decade of manufacturing experience, backed by more than 500 skilled workers and 10+ production lines, ensuring that every meal is not just food, but a culinary event.
Pro Tips :
- Ensure your steaks are at room temperature before cooking for more even cooking. - Use a high smoke-point oil like grapeseed or canola for searing. - Experiment with different seasonings or marinades to customize the flavor. - Letting the steaks rest is crucial for a juicy outcome. Don't skip this step!
