What’s the secret to a good steakhouse steak?
We know all the secrets a steakhouse chef will never tell you, making it easy to recreate that signature steakhouse flavor at home. First, stock your kitchen with the right steak ingredients to season the steaks to perfection. Then, make sure to use an instant-read meat thermometer to cook a perfect medium-rare steak. You’ll impress your friends with your steak skills in no time!
What cut of steak should I cook at home?
The most popular steaks to cook at home include ribeye, strip steak, filet mignon and top sirloin, but there are several other options. Finding the best steak for your steakhouse dinner starts with understanding that every steak has its own flavor profile. Further, the grades of beef drive the steak’s quality. Most supermarkets offer choice steaks, but splurge on a higher-quality prime steak for a real treat.
What’s the best menu for a steakhouse dinner at home?
When preparing a steakhouse dinner at home, structure the meal as a restaurant would. Start with a sharable appetizer like blooming onions or coconut shrimp. Then, opt for a soup or salad as a second course, perhaps with freshly baked bread like easy popovers. Next, serve your choice of steak with one or two side dishes. If you think you’ll have room for dessert, finish with something sweet. Feel free to keep it easy with a make-ahead dessert, like any of these easy no-bake desserts.
