We are trying to do steak night again. This time around Mike wants to try the Smith & Wollensky method since he heard from a coworker that that is the best way to prepare a steak. I don’t see what was wrong with the George Foreman method I tried last time but apparently that was not a “proper” way to do it per Mike. So we are off to church right now and have the steaks out on the counter warming up to room temperature. After church we are stopping by Mike’s apartment and grabbing the cast iron skillet since it is stove top and oven safe and giving this a try. Basically from what I have read online we are to heat up the skillet as hot as possible and sear the steaks on one side for about 1 minute then flip and throw in the oven for 2 minutes per side and we are suppose to have the perfect Medium steaks. I’m letting Mike do most of the handling of this little adventure especially since it calls for using the cast iron skillet which is really heavy. If this method works as we believe it will I will report back tomorrow with exactly what we did, how long, and pictures.
Wish us luck!
