cast iron skillet steak

This is with out a doubt my favorite way to cook a steak. The only seasoning used is the salt in the pan. The steak does the rest. I like to say, “the steak is the seasoning”  because all those juices that would normally go into the fire concentrate in the pan. Your steak will have a wonderful “crust” that you can only achieve with a cast iron skillet.

Directions:

Get your BBQ red hot and place your cast iron skillet on the cooking grate.

When it starts smoking well, sprinkle about a tablespoon of kosher salt on the bottom of the skillet.

As soon as the salt starts to turn brown lay your steak on the salt.

Turn after 4 or 5 minutes and cook for another 4 minutes for rare.

 

Remove from the skillet and allow to rest for a few minutes.
