Billy’s 5-Star Steak

Best paired with 2002 Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tip: Place oven-proof dinner plates in the preheated oven to warm. This will keep better temperature in your steaks while you enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Snake River Farms American Wagyu Gold Grade New York Strip (Billy’s recommendation)

  • Snake River Farms American Wagyu Gold Grade Filet Mignon (Emily’s recommendation)

  • Sea Salt, course

  • Pepper

  • Olive oil

  • Variety of course sea salts (for serving). Our favorites are Sel Marin de Guerande Grey Sea Salt, Hawaiian Black Lava Sea Salt, and Hawaiian Red Gold Sea Salt.

Directions

  • Remove steaks from the refrigerator and allow meat to come to room temperature (about 1 hour). This helps the steak to cook evenly.
  • Season the steaks very generously on all sides with course sea salt and pepper. Pat the seasoning into the steak.
  • Preheat Le Creuset cast-iron pan on stove at medium-high to high heat.
  • Drizzle some olive oil in the pan, just enough so that the steak doesn’t stick.
  • Sear the steaks on each side for about 4-5 minutes (8-10 minutes total) – this will cook the steaks to a medium rare temperature.
  • Allow steaks to rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
  • Serve with a variety of course sea salts. Our favorites are Sel Marin de Guerande Grey Sea Salt, Hawaiian Black Lava Sea Salt, and Hawaiian Red Gold Sea Salt.
  • Best paired with a bottle of 2002 Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon.
