Trust us, you won’t want to miss this one!
Ingredients That Shine
Derek kicks things off by outlining his ingredient list, which includes a steak of your choosing (1.5 inches thick is ideal), coarse sea salt, and a few other simple components for the irresistible butter. He also mentions the importance of garnishing with chopped parsley for that pop of color and flavor.
Dry Brining for Flavor
The first step in this steak recipe? Generously seasoning your meat with coarse sea salt and letting it dry brine overnight. If you’re pressed for time, a quick 40-minute seasoning session in the fridge will do the trick. This technique ensures that your steak is packed with flavor and incredibly juicy.
Cooking to Perfection
In the video, Derek shares his preferred method of cooking—using a pizza oven set to a scorching 850°F! That’s some serious heat! He walks you through the cooking process, starting with two minutes in the oven for the first side (don’t forget to rotate!). The real magic happens when you flip the steak, giving it another two minutes to develop that crispy crust we all crave.
Ever wondered how to get your steak exactly how you like it? Derek breaks down the timing for different doneness levels:
- Rare: 45 seconds to 1.5 minutes
- Medium Rare: 1.5-2 minutes
- Medium: 2-2.5 minutes
- Medium Well: 2.5-3 minutes
- Well Done: 3+ minutes
The Final Touch
After pulling the steaks out, let them rest for a good 5 minutes. Then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for: drizzling that mouthwatering butter mixture over the sizzling steak. It’s the cherry on top of this grilled masterpiece!
