Cooking Instructions:
Pan-Sear Method:
- Prepare the Steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
- Season: Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, or your favorite steak seasoning.
- Heat the Skillet: Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of olive oil or butter.
- Sear: Once the oil or butter is hot and shimmering, carefully place the steak in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving it. This will help develop a nice sear.
- Flip and Cook: Flip the steak and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness:
- Rare: 120-125°F (internal temperature)
- Medium-Rare: 125-130°F
- Medium: 130-140°F
- Rest: Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
Grilling Method:
- Prepare the Steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
- Season: Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, or your favorite steak seasoning.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill: Place the steak on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired doneness and the thickness of the steak. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- Rest: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
Serving:
Slice the Denver steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and enjoy!
