Ingredients

Directions

1. Picking the Right Cut

  • Top Picks: You really can't go wrong with any cut of our grass-fed steak, but we personally love some ribeye or sirloin. Ribeye’s got more fat, which means it’s gonna be a bit juicier, while sirloin is leaner but still packs a punch.

2. Get Your Steak Ready

  • Bring It to Room Temp: Let your steak sit out for about 30 minutes before you cook it.
  • Season It Up: Give it a good rub-down with salt and pepper. If you’re feelin’ fancy, toss on some garlic, onion, & herbs. Just remember, no need to go overboard—simple’s best when you’re working with top-notch beef.

3. Preheat Like a Pro

  • Pan Prep: Heat up your skillet until it’s nice and hot.
  • Grill It: If you’re out on the grill, get those coals or burners blazing. 

4. Cookin’ the Steak

  • Sear ‘n’ Flip: Lay that steak down and let it sizzle for about 2-4 minutes per side. Don’t go poking it too much—let it get a nice crust. Remember, grass-fed beef’s leaner, so it cooks faster and doesn't need much time on the heat.
  • Check the Temp: Use a thermometer to keep an eye on it. For a medium-rare, you’re aiming for 130°F (54°C). For medium, you want 140°F (60°C). Remember, it’ll keep cooking a bit after you pull it off the heat, so don’t go overboard.

5. Letting It Rest

  • Rest Time: After you’ve cooked it to perfection, let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices spread out and makes for a tastier bite.

6. Slicing and Servin’

  • Slice ‘n’ Dice: Slice against the grain. 
  • Side Kicks: Pair it with some roasted veggies, a fresh salad, or a rich sauce, and enjoy!
