Ribeye Steak on Cast Iron Skillet
There are many types of beef steaks, some of which are striploin, tenderloin, skirt, sirloin, T-bone, tomahawk, flank, rump, denver and ribeye of course. The last is one of our favorites, as it has a rich taste and aroma. Each one has a very different texture, but they are still prepared and seasoned almost the same. By itself, beef is tasty enough to use too much spices, especially when grilled.
For the best experience, it is necessary to use high quality ingredients. Salt is the basis of taste. Beef steak’s best friend is Maldon salt. It gives an unique and incomparable taste with other salt. You must have one in your shelf of spices. The next step is black pepper. For this purpose, freshly ground pepper mix is required. Last but not least are the fresh rosemary and thyme. They have an amazing flavors and will make your steak on a much higher level. Beef loves garlic, use fresh in the butter “bath” in a cast iron skillet (if not ribbed).
Most of you may think that making a beef steak is difficult. There are only a few thin moments and success will be in your hands. Cast iron is probably the best way to cook steaks. Due to the fact that it retains and distributes heat, they come out with an incomparably crispy crust and a fragile body. The high temperature seals and caramelizes the steak instantly, this is very important so that the juices don’t run out at the beginning of cooking. So make sure the pan is well heated before putting the steak in it. The other important thing is the roasting temperature in the core of the steak.
Internal temperature:
Blue rare: 47 degrees
Rare: 49 degrees
Medium rare: 52 degrees
Medium: 57 degrees
Medium well: 63 degrees
Well Done: 71 degrees
Since most steaks come in different thicknesses and sizes, it would be best to equip yourself with a thermometer to measure the internal temperature. For medium rare, it should be 45 degrees Celsius. After removing them from the pan, the temperature will rise by another 6-7 degrees.
To preserve the tenderness of the beef, we recommend roasting to a maximum of medium rare.
