Salt, pepper, very light garlic, butter. Reverse sear at 250 degrees to 125. 90 seconds on each side on the cast iron hot as hell, play ball

“Damn why’d you frick up a good cut of meat by putting salt on it?”

See how that sounds? Your arbitrary line is not the standard.

Garlic salt and pepper! Sometimes if 2 to 4 inches thick I'll put in Lea & Perrins overnight and it's so damn good!

Depend on my mood, either mustard and butter, or if I want a marinade teriyaki sauce.

I dry brine for at least 4-5 hours with smoked salt, ~1% salt by weight of the steak. Pat dry before cooking.

If cooking in a pan, I do not add cracked pepper before cooking, but rather in the process.

Melt and baste with compound garlic butter with a sprig of rosemary.

Make a pan sauce from the steak fond and left over butter. Typically Au poivre sauce. Serve with it either drizzled on or in a ramekin depending on steak/mood. I deviate from traditional recipe by using beef consume, wash your sister sauce, a pinch of tomato powder, and corn starch.


That’s my baseline. Doesn’t mean I don’t shake it up by throwing a quality steak covered in a coffee rub or some other exotic seasoning blend from time to time though.

I marinate mine in Italian dressing then salt and pepper.

If I have an onion I will caramelize some to go on top.

And if that’s a problem suck a fat nutt.

Basically the same thing I use on Brisket, Coarse Salt, Pepper and some garlic powder. I use a little Worcestershire as a binder and let it sit out on the counter while I bring my pit up to temp.

For common, thick cuts of steaks like Ribeyes, New York Strip, etc.. I'll cook over lump charcoal at 700F. Two minutes per side, let rest for 10 minutes and it is a perfect medium rare just about every time.

Salt it heavily and let it sit out on the counter, covered, for about 2 hours. Pan sear in olive oil for crust. Add 3 tbsp of butter, garlic, shallots, Rosemary and thyme. Bast the steak on both sides. Add fresh cracked black pepper and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Was using salt and pepper for years. The last couple of times i used Ragin Cajun Steak Seasoning, it’s on point. That is my go to for now.

Alright, so don't crucify me here - remember that I'm in a semi and when I cook its either air fryer or GF grill. I add garlic butter when its resting to give it some flavor because God knows these are the two worst ways to cook a steak.
When I'm at home I usually use just a pinch of salt.
