All it takes to create a restaurant-quality steak at home is simple seasoning and a bit of technique. The secret to a perfect steak? Let the meat come to room temperature before searing it in a smoking-hot cast iron skillet.

For flavor, we use our peppery Old School All-Purpose Rub to complement the richness of the beef; all of our premium seasoning blends are available for purchase on Amazon. Topping the steak with blistered cherry tomatoes adds a burst of umami and a subtle sweetness that balances every bite.

Part 1:
Steak with Old School A.P. Rub and Blistered Cherry Tomatoes

Step 1

Bring the steak up to room temp for at least 30 minutes.


Step 2

Season both sides of the steak with the Old School A.P. Rub. Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of oil over the steak and rub it into both sides.


Step 3

Heat a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat. Add 2 Tablespoons of oil, and once the oil is hot and smoking, add the steak to the pan. Brown the steak for 4-5 minutes, then flip it over and brown the other side for 2-4 minutes, or until the desired doneness (for a medium rare steak the internal temperature should be 125°F, 135-140°F for medium, and 155°F for well done when tested with a thermometer). In the last minute of cooking, add the butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan. Transfer the steak out of the pan, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.


Step 4

While the steak is resting, add the tomatoes to the hot pan, reduce the heat to medium, and cook the tomatoes until blistered, about 4-5 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook for 1 additional minute. Season with salt.


Step 5

Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve topped with the blistered tomatoes and the pan sauce.
