This is the traditional French steak cooking technique used at the incredible Commander’s Palace Restaurant in the culinary mecca of New Orleans. A well-seasoned, heavy cast iron pan is the key to cooking steaks this way. The Kosher salt and dry pan combine to give the meat a beautiful crust. Grass-fed bison is also fantastic cooked this way.
Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
2 grass-fed beef sirloin steaks – trimmed – 6 ounces each ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon salted butter 1 clove fresh garlic – crushed 1 pinch cayenne pepperPreparation:
Preheat a heavy cast iron pan on high heat. Pat the steaks dry with paper towel and evenly sprinkle the salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the steaks in the pan and do not press. Cook on high for two minutes then reduce heat to medium-low for three minutes. Turn steaks over and again cook on high for two minutes then medium-low for three minutes. Remove from pan and let rest
Mix butter, garlic and cayenne together with a fork. Top rested steaks with butter mixture and serve immediately.
