Cooking steak to perfection is really simple once you get the basics down, so read these tips and become a pro!

Room Temperature

You never want to cook a steak straight from the fridge. First, wait about 15 to 30 minutes until it’s come to room temperature. Once it is at room temperature, make sure to pat it dry so it will sear nicely.

Seasoning

Heavily seasoning your steak is the key to flavor. Since steak is pretty dense and you can’t season the inside, you have to make sure the outside is seasoned properly. Use more salt and pepper than you’re used to and you’ll be guaranteed a perfect steak.

Basting

Towards the end of the cooking process, put in a tab of butter, some garlic with the skins on, and some fresh herbs. Take the melted butter and baste, or splash it onto the top of the steak. That will help it soak up the flavor and make it that much richer.
