Steak Tips

Bring to Room Temperature

Before cooking your steak, let it come to room temperature. Remove from the refrigerator and allow it to rest on the counter under a dry cloth until no longer cold. This usually takes between thirty and sixty minutes. Pat dry. This ensures that your steak will not contract and become tough during the cooking process.

Steak Tips

Aged Beef

Aging is also important. The longer a steak has aged, the more tender it will be. Natural enzymes within a steak break down tough tissue during the aging process, as water evaporates, causing the flavor of the beef itself to become more pronounced. Purchase aged steaks from a reputable butcher, or research how to age steaks at home in your refrigerator.
