Steak: The Second Coming

You saw it from a mile away. That's right; We are going to make some motherfucking bloody ass steak (and bone dry for the ladies). There is only ONE way to cook a good steak indoors and this is it my friend. If you do not have a cast iron pan abandon all hope right fucking now. Don't try. It will taste terrible. Don't even think about putting it in your Forman Grill. In fact, throw that thing away right now. Let's begin:

Start off with a killer cut of steak. I always opt for bone in because it makes me really connect with my carnivorous side. STOP RIGHT NOW!!! DO NOT marinate or rub with any bullshit! Only salt and pepper (freshly and coarsely ground) are acceptable. Anything else will murder your beloved piece of heaven. You can garnish with whatever the fuck you want but cook the steak alone. Think of it like a player-hater at a player party. That fucker ain't gonna jive wit nones but his homies S & P.

Wait for your cast iron pan to get searing hot at about a 7 before you slap down that piece of meat. let it sizzle for about 5 min and then flip it (after flip seen above). Note the pot holder over the iron handle. That was a hard one to learn...

One minute after flipping it toss in a 375 deg oven 'as-is' for about 7ish min. Do not do this if you have a wooden or steel handle. You might think you can but like everything else, you can't.

Now that is some good looking steak eh? To cook medium-well leave it in the oven for a little longer NOT the stove top. Top off with any type of anything or eat solo. Anyway is the best ever. Pairing suggestions: Potatoes, veggies, tossed salad (sicko!), etc. You can slice up and put in enchiladas, tacos, or any other mexican food. Hey dummy, remember, if you are going to end up cooking it further in another dish, cook it one level closer to raw than desired.
