CHRIS' STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Season steak with Steakhouse Seasoning, massage into steak. Pour steakhouse marinade over steak. Massage into steak. Do not add salt or pepper because of the salt and pepper in both seasoning. Refrigerate for 3 hours. Grill for 15 minutes or to desired doneness.

THE PERFECT NEW YORK STRIP STEAK

Steps:

• Roast the steaks at low heat: Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Season steaks generously with salt on all sides. Place steaks on a wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet; this will ensure even airflow all around the steaks as they cook. Cook for 25-35 minutes, checking after 20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F. (Note: Once the temperature reaches 80 degrees F, it will climb quickly.) For an accurate temperature, place the thermometer through the side into the center of the steak. When steak reaches 125 degrees F, let rest 10 minutes.
• Sear the steaks: Heat skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat until smoking; then add the steaks. Cook for 1 minute, undisturbed. Flip steaks, drain off the fat, then cook another 1 minute, undisturbed. Meanwhile, gently smash the garlic cloves with the heel of your hand until you hear a crack, leaving the peels attached.Add 2 tablespoons of butter, garlic cloves, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Tilt the pan and continually baste the steaks with the hot butter as it browns and gets foamy. Take the pan off the heat as you baste if the butter is browning too quickly or the herbs and garlic are starting to burn. Add remaining tablespoon of butter; once the first side is well-browned, flip the steaks and continue basting-a French technique called arroser-until the butter is no longer foamy. (Once the steaks have been flipped, Chef Pandel continues basting with his pan entirely off the heat; you may need to do the same, depending on the variables of stove temperature, pan, and the steaks themselves.) When it's no longer foamy, the butter has done its job and the steaks should be well seared with a nice crust. Check the temperature of the steaks: for medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 125 degrees F-130 degrees F. Remove steaks to the rack to rest, about 10 minutes. Serve right away.

RUTH CHRIS STEAK

Steps:

• Take a steak (make sure its a prime grade steak) thats been sitting at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, lightly oil and then heavily season with salt and pepper. Drop it into the skillet and do not touch it for at least 3 minutes. Flip the steak and do the same. Depending how thick the steak is, you might have to finish it in a 500 degree oven. Then let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes. For Ruth's Chris style (even thought I don't particularly like it) heat up an ovenproof plate in the oven while the steak is cooking. After the steak is done and it has rested for a few minutes, take the plate out of the oven, drop some butter on it, and then place the steak on top.

RUTH'S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE BLUE CHEESE CRUST

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together VERY well. Cover and refrigerate. Prepare steak as normal, but cut cooking short on 2nd side by 2-3 minutes. Pack blue cheese mixture on less cooked side of meat and put under preheated broiler (about 3-4 inches away) and cook 2-3 minutes or until blue cheese topping starts to brown up and bubble. Remove steak from oven, tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes.
