Notes

  • Using thick steaks. If your steaks are thicker than the steaks shown here, you may need to cook them for an extra minute on each side.
  • Use a meat thermometer. To check if the steaks have reached your desired degree of doneness, we always recommend using a meat thermometer. If they aren’t quite where you need them to be, cook them for a minute longer on each side until you reach the desired results.
  • Cut against the grain. Always cut the steak against the grain for the most tender bites of steak. The grain looks like lines running through the steak. You will easily be able to see them before and after cooking.
