Preparing a Steak is All About Simplicity

If you’re getting ready to prepare a steak, we’re here to tell you that you really don’t need to overdo it. You might think that because a steak is so delicious, therefore we need to pull out all the stops in order to cook it best. But in fact, the opposite is true. Steak is delicious for a reason and therefore you need to allow it to be enjoyed as purely as possible. So if you just bought a nice fat raw steak from the market, here’s the best way to make it.

Salt and Pepper

It really doesn’t get any simpler than that. The only thing you really need to add to a steak is salt and pepper—preferably kosher salt if you have it. Mix together some kosher salt and pepper in a bowl and apply it to your steak, and you’re now already ready to cook it.

Cooking It Correctly

As far as cooking the actual steak, there’s no need to put it in the oven. A barbecue grill will do just fine and when we say that we mean that it’s the best option. If you don’t have a barbecue, we’d recommend cooking it in a pan as opposed to the oven. If you simply must cook it in the oven, we’d recommend using the broiler. Whichever choice you go with, remember that a good steak is one that’s not too well-done—because then it will lose its flavor.
