Cooked up some of the steaks from this thread ,
Wanted to go on the kettle over mesquite coals , but was way to windy . So My next favorite way is in a cast iron skillet , then finished in the oven .
Seasoned up with Canadian Steak seasoning , then held under vacuum over night .
Next day I let them warm up on the counter for an hour or so .
Heat up the cast iron . 1950's Wagner . Ate a lot of meals from that when I was a kid .
Steaks go in . I put just a bit of oil in the bottom because they were wet
from the seasoning . If they were dried off , I would go in the pan without oil .
Didn't get the pan as hot as I wanted at the edges , and the pan is a bit crowded .
When they release I flip .
Add butter , garlic and Thyme from the Aero garden .
Then into a 350 degree oven .
Coming out of the oven . Smells fantastic .
Not the best color on one on the left , but it was like butter .
Rested and sliced . Great flavor on these , and completely tender .
I usually add Rosemary to the pan too , but I was out .
Whole Strip loin and meatloaf from beef trim
This is another whole cut from Gordon's food service . No roll , $6.99 a pound . This one looked pretty good in the bag so I grabbed it . I bought the whole ribeye a week or so ago . Figure I'll have some good trim from the 2 for ground beef for the freezer . Nice and thick . Fat looks pretty...
