How to cook steak at home?

Steak is one of the main ingredients of Western cuisine. It is nutritious and delicious, but it is very expensive to eat it in Western restaurants regularly, so many people want to cook it at home. In fact, steak can be made at home. The method is very simple and can be completed in just 5 steps. However, it should be noted that it is best not to add soy sauce and other seasonings during the production process, otherwise it will destroy its original taste.

1. Materials

2 steaks (preferably with fat), 4-5 cloves of garlic, 2 pinches of thyme, 2 slices of butter, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper

2. How to make steak at home

1. Marinate both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper (Note: the steak should be placed for 20 minutes in advance to allow the meat to reach room temperature)

2. Prepare garlic and thyme. It is also okay if you don’t have thyme. No need to peel the garlic, just crush it

3. Heat the pan, add oil, and add the steak when it is at high temperature and a little smoke appears. Add garlic and thyme

4. Fry on high heat for 2-3 minutes, turn over, and then add butter. Use a spoon to pour the melted butter over the steak repeatedly. Fry for another 2-3 minutes. This is the result with a little pink in the middle

5. Serve the steak and pour oil on it. Leave for 5 minutes and it's done.

Tips

1. The steak must be at room temperature before being put into the pot, not cold. Otherwise the outside will be mushy and the inside will still be raw.

2. When frying steak, you must put it in the pan at high temperature to get the color. Do not fry slowly over low heat. And just flip it over once.

3. The 2-3 minutes of frying mentioned here depends on the thickness of the steak. The thickness of 2-2.5cm is just right. If the steak is very thick, it is best to fry it in a frying pan with a griddle. Otherwise it will be overcooked on the outside and still raw on the inside.

3. Fry the steak fat side up for a while to melt the fat so it tastes better.

4. Drizzle butter over the steak repeatedly to speed up the cooking time and make it more flavorful

5. Don't add any soy sauce or other seasonings, the original flavor is the best

3. Nutritional value of steak:
