HOW TO COOK A PERFECT STEAK

Tips to get tender, juicy steaks!

• Let steaks sit out at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towel.
• Season generously on each side with salt and pepper.

In A Skillet

• Using a cast iron skillet provides steaks with even cooking and the best, charred flavours similar to a barbecue, but any pan will work.
• Preheat your pan on high heat before carefully adding your oil.
• When your skillet issmoking, season steaks with salt and pepper just before they go in to your pan.
• Your kitchen will get smokey! Keep your exhaust fan on high.
• Add only two steaks in at a time, or you won’t get a nice sear.

On The Grill

• Set up the grill at least 15 minutes before you cook. It needs to get hot before putting anything on it.
• Find the hottest areas by carefully and slowly waving your hand 6 inches above the grill.
• Using tongs, lightly grease grill plates with a folded paper towel dipped in oil.
• When oil is smoking, grill until they release without sticking.

How can you tell if a steak is done?

• Rare steaks.Soft textured steaks that maintain an indent when pressed will be rare —140°F (60°C) internal temperature
• Medium-rare steaks.Steaks with a soft and springy feel will be medium rare —145°F (63°) internal temperature
• Medium steaks.Steaks with a springy feel will be medium (bounce back up fast) —160°F (70°) internal temperature
• Well done steaks.Firm steaks are well done —170°F (76°) internal temperature

Remember, steak will continue to cook after being removed from the skillet or grill. Allow to rest for 5 – 10 minutes to let the juices settle before serving.

While steaks are resting, sear (or grill) your shrimp, then get your creamy sauce going! If grilling your meat/seafood, you will need to grab a pan to cook the cream in.

Some tips:

• You can use shrimp with tails on or off.
• Try to find fresh wild caught shrimp. Frozen shrimp is good too, but fresh will always have a better flavour.
• Heavy (thickened) cream can be substituted with half and half, light cream or evaporated milk!

What wine goes well with Steak Recipe?

I choose a white wine to go with this. A light Chardonnay or Pinot Gris pairs really well. I also love a chilled glass or Rosé.
