Helpful Tips

• Marinating the steak in a beer of your choice gives the meat a ‘dry aged flavor’ which is absolutely delicious, this process would also work well with red wine.

• After removing the steak from the marinade use paper towels to pat dry. A dry surface will guarantee a better sear which adds extra flavor.

• Before cooking the steak preheat the pan until VERY hot.

• Cook the steak to your preferred doneness, searing for 1 minute on each side for rare, 2 minutes each side for medium, and 4 minutes each side for well done.

• Use a cast iron skillet for best searing, you can also use a non-stick pan but the non-stick properties will reduce searing.
