How do I cook a better steak? If you ever found yourself asking this question, welcome. We’re here to help. To most, it’s simply just a slab of beef. Seemingly easy to cook and master – but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Everyone who has worked with this meat more than a few times know the difficulties associated with cooking a perfect steak. We have all experienced the following (well at least we have):

1. Overcooked
2. Undercooked
3. No sear or crust because the pan wasn’t hot enough
4. Didn’t pull the steak out early enough before cooking
5. Cut the steak before allowing it to rest long enough
6. Overseasoned
7. Underseasoned
