Published 12/1/2023 Hello, steak lovers! If you aren’t cooking your steaks in a cast iron skillet, you’re missing out! This method leaves you with a thick, brown crust and juicy tender meat on the inside. We love this method for cooking steak because your secret weapon is an everyday cast iron pan. Cast iron skillets heat very evenly (unlike a grill, for example) and they can also get VERY hot, which is essential for a good sear. Plus, we recommend cooking your steak in a herbed butter that is oh-so easy to make and adds so much depth to your steak.
What You Need to Make Cast Iron Steak
Steak: we’ve used many different cuts of steak in the cast iron and our favorite is ribeye because of it’s marbling and fat content. Homemade steak seasoning: some people prefer just salt and pepper on their steak, but we are big fans of taking the flavor up a notch with our homemade steak seasoning. Not only does it add great flavor, but it helps to create a delicious crust on the steak. Butter: butter, butter, butter. Though you initially sear the steak in oil, eventually you spoon melted butter over the steak as it sears. Trust us, you won’t regret it.
