Confession I was completely intimated to cook steak until last night!! I always thought of it as something I have to order at a restaurant or have Pete cook on the grill. Not to mention I hate overcooked steak.... rare or medium rare only for this girl please! I started to do some research online and came across Barefoot Contessa's Steakhouse Steak recipe. It was not paleo containing some pretty bad ingredients like vegetable oil, butter, and a cheese sauce. I decided I could strip it down to the bare bones and try it. The results were fantastic!! First season your steaks with salt and pepper. Then get a cast iron skillet really hot and sear the meat on all sides. About 2 mins a side is what worked for me. Put them into a 400 degree oven in the same skillet for about 4 mins on each side for medium rare and that's it! I didn't put any oil in the skillet which made it kind of tough to flip the meat so I would suggest doing that. While the steaks were cooking I cooked up some shitake mushrooms to top the meat with. I served with our standard salad and the leftover cauliflower mash and it was the perfect dinner! I will be cooking steak all summer now!!!! Off to St. Louis for a fun filled wedding weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful Cinco de Mayo and Derby Day!!!!!
