There are many ways you can cook your steak at home. These methods include grilling and searing as well as sous vide. We'll cover each of these methods and show you how to cook your steak at-home. Next, sear the steak on both sides for a few more minutes. The steak can be cooked as normal.
Sear-roasting
Whether you're cooking for yourself or serving guests, the reverse sear method will deliver a delicious, moist, and evenly-cooked steak. It involves preheating a cast-iron skillet or oven before searing the steak on both sides. This method produces a crisp, dark crust and rich, meaty flavor. Then, you'll top it off with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and serve it with a side of fries or a salad.
Sous vide
Sous vide cooking is the latest culinary trend. It is a method for cooking meat with a high-tech, programmeable water bath. This means that steakhouses use sous vide for cooking their steaks to perfection. It is a highly sought-after technique that fine dining establishments keep secret. French Laundry Napa Valley is an excellent example. It's renowned for its two Michelin Stars and exclusive clientele. Thomas Keller, its pioneering chef is not the only one. Sous vide has been a well-known practice in many of the top casual restaurants around the globe, including Chipotle Mexican Grill (the largest US fast-casual chain). Sous vide is used in these establishments to reduce food waste, and also cut down on costs.
Dry brining
Dry brining is a method that results in mediocre steaks from steakhouses. Dry brining refers to salting the meat from both sides, before it's cooked. The meat is allowed to rest for up 30 minutes. For every pound meat, you will need 1 tablespoon of coarse sea or 1/2 cup of regular salt. This method can improve the texture, flavor and appearance of meats. However, it is less effective than wet brining.
Grilling
You cannot replicate the art of grilling a steak at an authentic steakhouse. The best steakhouses have their own unique methods of creating their signature meat. For the highest quality meat, they might visit a packing company or collaborate with a local butcher. Steakhouses carefully inspect the quality of meat, including color, texture, and fat distribution. Steakhouses maintain strict control over the aging process unlike home, where it is easy to guess what your meat will taste like.
Charcoal
A good steakhouse will use charcoal to cook their steak. A steakhouse grill uses charcoal, rather than traditional ovens. Before grilling, it is important to allow steaks to come up at room temperature. You should season them and trim any fat. Sear each side for 2 to 3 minutes, while looking out for flare-ups. After the steak is cooked, transfer it to a cooling side of the grille and cover with the lid. Once the steak is cooked, it will be tender.
Seasonings
No matter whether you plan to order the same steak from a restaurant chain or make your own, you should add the same seasonings to the dish as the chef at the steakhouse. Although a little spice can make a difference, the flavor of the steak will taste better if it's paired with the right seasonings. Here are some popular seasonings for steakhouses.
