Re: Steak lovers receipes
For the last step. Instead of leaving it in the fridge for 30minutes. It would be better to leave the steak out on the counter top so that it comes to room temp. Cooking cold meat is a no no in culinary. Cold to heat makes the meat tighten up. Room temp allows it to be more tender when introduced to heat.
Re: Steak lovers receipes
I do a similar thing with the steaks residing Ziplock containers.
I also do the trick of sealing the cooked steaks up in the WASHED Ziplock containers (usually with a pat of my herb/garlic butter on each steak) for the few minutes wait until everyone has gathered at the table, got their drinks, etc. Everyone swears this makes the steaks even better and more tender.
So, I keep doing it. YMMV.
