The Perfect Steak

All these years I have been grilling steak and not getting very good results.  Grass fed beef often ends up tough rather than tender.  Luckily, I just bought Tim Ferriss's book - The Four Hour Chef.  Highly recommended!

Here are the basics to making a perfect steak:

• Warm it up - at least room temperature, or preheat in the oven (you'll soon see)
• Sear it on both sides on the grill (2 - 3 minutes)
• Put it back in the oven at about 250F and then cook slowly for about 20 - 25 minutes.  Check it with a meat thermometer.

And... there you have it, the perfect steak.  If you've been making it any other way, I suggest trying this method and seeing how it works.  Tasty!

Step by step

Warm at 200 degrees for about 10 minutes on a baking rack in the oven

Grass fed strip steak... you can see it is just a little cooked

After the grill - back to the oven at 250.  Check the temp after 15 minutes.

Seared, still cool in the middle

Interior temp of about 125F

Perfect medium rare - with a huge pile of veggies
