HOW TO COOK STEAK IN A SKILLET

Please whip out your cast iron skillet because that is the best tool for preparing a good steak.

• We’re going to salt our steaks and let them sit for about 20 minutes. When ready to get started, fire up the stovetop and set your cast iron skillet over the heat.
• Rub the steaks with dijon mustard on both sides and add to the skillet, two steaks at a time, and a tablespoon of butter.
• In the meantime, put together the bourbon sauce by combining soy sauce, light brown sugar, bourbon, and dried herbs in a mixing bowl.
• Remove steaks from the pan and deglaze the skillet with the bourbon sauce.
• Stir in half & half or light cream and continue to cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, or until sauce has slightly thickened.
• Remove skillet from heat, place steaks back in skillet and turn to coat with the sauce.

Serve with Lemon Butter Green Beans and ENJOY!

NOTES:

When cooking steak, use a meat thermometer and keep in mind how you want it cooked; rare, medium rare, medium, or well done.

• 140F internal temperature for RARE
• 145F internal temperature for MEDIUM RARE
• 160F internal temperature for MEDIUM
• 170F internal temperature for WELL DONE

This method of pan-searing a steak works best with steaks that are an inch thick, or less, and boneless.
