Butter Basting Steak | A Chef's Favorite Cooking Technique

Butter basting steak is an incredible way to have a perfectly cooked steak on the stove. It works for sous vide steak, reverse sear or raw to get you to the perfect medium rare or whatever temperature you like. The best part is that it is an easy way to cook steak! I cooked a flat iron steak for this video but many other cuts work too. I love this method for rib eye steaks, new york strips, skirt steaks, sirloins and smaller filet mignon. The crust is incredible and you can infuse undertones of other flavors like a garlic butter or rosemary into the meat. There are a few tricks to doing this to get a great sear on steak. If you watch the video, pay attention to the angle of the pan, the amount of fat in the pan and where to put the steak in the pan. These three things are everything. This is how you get a wonderful steakhouse or fine dining restaurant steak at home without having a steakhouse broiler. I can tell you that most chefs prefer this method when cooking steak both at home and at work. * Tools Needed * Cast Iron Pan https://amzn.to/2HQtIHm or Regular Pan https://amzn.to/3jiGL28 Cooking Spoon https://amzn.to/3flCoBo Cutting Board https://amzn.to/3f7Hcu1 Olive Oil https://amzn.to/2ZoYT2L My Favorite Butter https://amzn.to/3iYajSN Seasoning www.chicagosteakguy.com Steak of Your Choice (ribeye, ny strip, etc.) www.chicagosteakguy.com ** Timeline Snaps ** 0:38 Tools Needed 2:08 Starting the Steak in a Pan 2:50 Basting the Steak 3:13 Turning the Steak 3:30 Checking Steak Temperature 3:45 Resting Steak Before Slicing * Steak Seasoning Ingredients * Onion Powder Granulated Garlic Black Pepper Salt Paprika Cayenne Oregano ** Follow Michael Ponzio on Social Media ** Instagram https://www.instagram.com/chefponzio Facebook https://www.facebook.com/chefponzio ribeye steak ribeye steak cast iron cast iron steak
