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.
