How to Cook Medium Rare Steaks

How to Cook Medium Rare Steaksに関心がある方へ、迷わずに進められる ガイドラインをご紹介します。

First things first: you cannot rush greatness. Pick a steak that’s at least an inch thick—ribeye, sirloin, or NY strip all work beautifully. I’m looking at you, thin-cut steaks; you’re for fast grilling, not for medium-rare glory. Take your steak out of the fridge 30 to 40 minutes before cooking. This isn’t rocket science—it’s just letting the meat come to room temperature so it cooks evenly. Pat your steak dry with paper towels; moisture is the enemy of a good sear! A dry surface means a golden, crispy crust.

Salt and Season Like You Mean It

Here’s a little secret: salt is your best friend. Right before cooking, season both sides generously with coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Don’t be shy—some will fall off, so a heavy hand is fine. A pro tip? Press the seasoning into the meat gently; it’s a handshake, not a wrestling match. Want a flavor boost? Add a pinch of garlic powder or dried thyme—but keep it simple so the beef shines.
