How Should You Cook Beef Steak?

When it comes to steak, here at Tom Hixson, we know a thing or two about how to cook them to perfection. First, season your steak with salt and pepper, and place the steaks in a hot pan with the fat facing down to render the fat. Once browned, lay your steak flat and then flip after your steak turns a golden colour.

To get your steak to your desired doneness, you may want to use a temperature probe to ensure you have cooked your steak to the correct temperature:

Does Beef Steak Need a Marinade?

While your steak doesn’t need to be marinated, it certainly helps to add flavour and makes the meat tender. This is because the acidity of the marinade breaks down the meat tissue. If you want to give your steak more flavour during the cooking process, try basting your steak with butter, garlic, and thyme.

What Cut is a Tomahawk Steak?

A Tomahawk steak is cut from the fore rib with the bone left on. The bone releases its flavours during cooking for added flavour. This combined with the intermuscular fat content results in a superb tasting steak. The Tomahawk is often served as a sharing steak due to its size and weight.

What Cut is a T-Bone Steak?

A T bone steak is similar to a porterhouse. It contains both top loins, sirloin, and tenderloin, fillet, joined together by the bone which is left in. The name is derived from its appearance as the bone often resembles the letter ‘T’.

What Cut is a Porterhouse Steak?

The porterhouse is another bone-in steak that is cut where the top loin and tenderloin meet. The porterhouse steak is often quite a large serving as it combines these two types of steaks in one, the tenderloin, also known as fillet, and the top loin, often referred to as sirloin.
