Butter Basted Steak

SmokinJohn · May 7, 2018

And now for something completely different....

We start with a Bone In New York Steak. Kosher Salt and Freshly cracked Pepper...

This sat for 2 days in the refrigerator..
Cast iron skillet, olive oil, heated to near-smoking..

Steak on!

After flipping about 4 minutes, it's time for the BUTTER BASTING!!!!
I added 2 T of butter, 3 smashed garlic cloves, and a few sprigs of thyme to the skillet, and...

While it was resting, I took some slice of bread I made Saturday morning, and fried 'em up...

Plated it up....

Cut shot!

Yes Sir! Simple meals done right are usually best. Bet that was tasty for sure.

Looks perfect :clap2: I've been wanting to try that butter basting method for awhile now - I think you may have pushed me to do it this week :thumb:

I'd like to baste in the butter then finish it directly on the grill. Not sure if that is possible seeing how I like my steaks rare to medium rare.

Normally, they come out medium rare, so you could finish it to get the grill marks.

And I was thinking about doing that. The problem was I forgot the butter, and it sat on the skillet a minute longer than it was supposed to. I have never served any steak well done, so I couldn't finish it on the grill.

"bread I made" - anybody else catch that? :hail:

Already incredible, but that home made bread had to put it well over the top!

Fantastic in all directions, John!

I used a recipe from Google. I was worried, because baking is Jennifer's wheel house.

We used to do this all the time...haven't had one in a few years. They come out perfect.

No need for grill marks. It's a different kind of presentation. If you want a grilled steak, I say grill it. If this method is what you want, then give it a chance & be true to the method.
