How to Cook Steak in a Cast Iron Skillet-Cookware
The most important step in prepping your steak is to take it out of the fridge for approximately 1 hour (depending on the cut of meat) and let the meat temperature come closer to room temp before you start cooking. This allows the steak to cook at a higher temperature for a shorter period of time, which means it can more easily develop that caramelized crust.If you were to just put your steak in the cast iron skillet straight from the refrigerator, then it would start the cooking process at an internal temperature of about 37-40 degrees instead of about 65-70 degrees. So the steak would have to cook for longer, and the outside and inside of the meat would not cook as uniformly.
