How to Pan Roast a Steak

Do you want that restaurant quality steak taste? The secret to a juicy succulent steak is pan roasting. Pan roasting sears in the juices and creates a delectable crunchy crust on the steak. Top quality restaurants such as Craftsteak use this method to cook their steaks.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• a GOOD quality steak
• Cast Iron Pan
• Olive Oil
• Oven
• Butter

1. Get the pan smoking hot! While pan is getting hot preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2. Pour Olive oil into hot pan.

3. 

   Place steak in pan. Once in pan DO NOT MOVE! Let steak sear on each side for about 3-4 minutes depending on the cut and thickness of the steak.

4. Once steak has seared, move the pan into the oven for about 3-4 minutes.

5. Take pan out of oven, take about 2 tablespoons of butter and put in pan. Baste the steak with the butter for about 1 minute.

6. Let steak REST for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute through the meat and not bleed out onto the plate.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't move steak while searing
• Let steak rest for 5 minutes
• Use a quality steak
• Pan will be very hot when you take it out of the oven, use an oven mit!
• If you don't let the steak rest the juices will run out of the steak which causes a dry and flavorless steak
