Notes

My take on steak.

Thicker is better. By the time you get a crust on a thin steak, it is shoe leather.

Baste, Baste, Baste, butter deepens the crust and carries the herbal oils.

ALWAYS bring it to room temp.

Always pat dry and season before cooking. I tend to warm my steak for 15 minutes, thence season, and let it finish coming to room temp.

I'll side this with a Cesar Salad and a loaded baked potato.
