To cook the perfect steak, it starts long before the meat hits the heat. First, ensure you choose a high-quality cut with beautiful marbling, like a premium ribeye or New York strip. Let the meat sit out and come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.
Next, season generously with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper. Sear in a blistering hot cast-iron skillet or grill to lock in the juices. Add garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, and a generous slice of unsalted butter, basting the steak as it finishes cooking. Most importantly, let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute!
