How To Cook Steak Perfectly & Evenly Every Time

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to cooking the perfect steak, covering different preparation methods for bone-in and non-bone-in cuts. They walk through step-by-step techniques including bringing steaks to room temperature, seasoning considerations, grilling methods for bone-in steaks, and pan-searing followed by oven finishing for other cuts, while emphasizing the importance of temperature monitoring and resting.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends allowing steaks to come to room temperature (1-2 hours), patting them dry, and seasoning beforehand for better flavor distribution, despite common misconceptions about salt drawing out moisture
• For bone-in steaks, the Gazette team suggests using a grill with high initial heat to create a crust, then moving to indirect heat; for other cuts, they prefer pan-searing on high heat followed by oven finishing at 200-250°F for better temperature control
• The Gazette team emphasizes using a meat thermometer to remove steaks 5-10 degrees before target temperature, then resting in aluminum foil to allow juice redistribution and residual cooking
• The Gazette team argues that heavy stainless steel or cast-iron pans with high smoke-point oils (like grapeseed) are essential for proper searing, and they find sous vide creates a slightly rubbery texture compared to traditional methods
