Description
Steak night isn’t just for fancy restaurants, my friend. You can make a mouthwatering, sizzling, juicy steak right in your own kitchen (or on your grill) without needing a culinary degree. This is your go-to guide for cooking steak to tender, flavorful perfection — whether you like it rare, medium, or “still mooing” (no judgment).
Ingredients
1 good quality steak (ribeye, strip, filet, sirloin — about 1–1.5 inches thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1–2 tbsp high-heat oil (canola, avocado, grapeseed)
2 tbsp butter
2–3 garlic cloves, smashed
Fresh herbs (like rosemary, thyme, or sage — optional but dreamy)
Notes
Garlic mashed potatoes or crispy roasted veggies = classic steakhouse sides.
Serve with a simple arugula salad for a fresh, peppery bite.
A pat of herb butter on top? Game-changer.
