How to cook a steak with a cast iron skillet



advanced cooking secrets

Cooking with a cast iron skillet is a great way to enjoy many of the benefits. You don't need a stovetop or oven to cook a delicious steak. You can even buy special tools to make it even easier. Cast iron skillets are best when properly seasoned. To prevent over-searing, you should not sear your steak. Another great tool to use is a digital instant read thermometer. This will ensure that your steaks cook to the right internal temperature.

Season your steak with olive oil. Place your steak in the skillet, pressing down slightly on the meat. Turn the heat to medium-high. The oil should shimmer but not smoke. Once the skillet is hot enough, turn it down to low. Season your steak while your cast-iron skillet is heating. This will help prevent the steak from sticking to the skillet and make it brown.

How to make the perfect omelet

Omelets are my favorite breakfast dish. But how do they turn out so perfectly? Many different recipes and methods have failed to work for me. I have some tips and tricks to help you make delicious, fluffy omelets every single morning.

When making omelets, it is important to be aware that eggs can be temperamental. You must get them fresh, organically, and keep them cold until you cook. If they are not kept cold enough, the whites won’t form properly. The yolks will also break down too quickly and become runny. This makes your omelets look weirdly colored. If you want to make omelets right away, it's best not to use eggs that are too cold.

Another tip is to separate your egg before adding it into the pan. You don't want the white to get mixed with the yolk, as this could cause the egg to curdle.

You could end up burning the bottom half of the egg if the egg is added directly to the heat source. Instead, heat the egg in a microwave for 10 seconds and then place it in a pan. The microwave heat cooks the eggs just right without overcooking them.

Let's now talk about mixing eggs. When you mix eggs together, you want to beat them well. To do this, grab the bowl of the mixer and turn it upside down. Next, shake the bowl vigorously. The egg will be thoroughly mixed in the bowl as the air is whipped.

Now comes the fun part - pouring the milk into the mixture. The first step is to pour half of the milk in the beaten eggs. Next, fold the eggs into the remaining milk. Do not worry if you see streaks of egg; they will disappear when the omelet is flipped.

After you have done folding the eggs, heat the pan on medium heat. The oil will start to smoke. Once the oil has gotten hot, add 1/4 cup of butter and swirl it around so that the entire pan is coated. The lid should be carefully opened. Sprinkle salt in the pan. An additional pinch of salt will prevent the omelet form sticking to your pan.

Cover the pan once the omelet is formed and allow it to cool completely. Flip the omelet upside down or with a spatula. Cook the other half for another minute. Remove the omelet from the pan and serve immediately.

This recipe works best with whole milk, but skimmed milk also works.
